I have read comment after comment expressing the following:

You know it’s possible to say things and not remember saying them because you grew up your entire life being able to say those things without repercussions or thinking about how your words/actions impact others. This is commonly known as privilege.

You don’t need to hope that Mayweather will win. McGregor doesn’t belong in the same boxing ring, and Mayweather will wreck his shit. This is known.

I and a lot of other people are getting *nothing* but crap and unhappiness out of trying to make the world more fair.

Thank you! I needed some sane, reality-based thinking today. The white supremacy is thick in here.

But when reparations, stepping aside from your job to allow at POC to ascend etc etc etc comes up you wont here a peep from these white women. They will scatter like rats. Pathetic

And people are trying to make this about an “allyship” that others are putting on her when she wasn’t even trying to talk about racism in the first place. She wanted to talk about the sexism she faced but felt the need to drag POC into it without understanding that that comparison is faulty and problematic. It’s so…

Going a little far, aren’t you? No one asked her to reincarnate or wear blackface. Have *you* committed to self-education? If so, you know step one is being self aware. She *is* experiencing racism-we all are. If, in your estimation she’d need to be a POC to truly know about it, where does that leave the bigots, the…

I am educated, I am an engineer, I speak three languages and I am trapped in your country, because of that I have worked on almost every job, layering grass, washing dishes, being a waitress, I am a woman of colour and I know what I am talking about.

It’s self-soothing, a comfort habit. They’re sucking their thumbs while fiddling with their navels. The part of the game that gets me the most is the sense of entitlement which allows them to blindly change the narrative, probably without even realizing it.

More like, intersectional feminist writer: on top of bullshit dealt to WoC because of the color of their skin, they also deal with sexism and sometimes a gross combination.

there sure is a lot of whiteness excusing whiteness in this comment section on this day

I think DeMaario being branded a rapist is a cultural problem.

Actually, no, it doesn’t, not really. That’s just Academy PR bullshit.

It’s intended for life. I don’t know if they kick you out if you stop voting or not. Since it had something like 6K members before #oscarssowhite, it will take some time to redress the imbalance, but continuing to to invite more white men than anyone isn’t gonna make it go faster.

You’re conflating percentage of the overall numbers with percentage of the year class, and it’s confusing. Of course, the Academy promotion is misleading on purpose.

There’s also a REALLY nasty history of white women accusing black men of sexual assault for acts that were clearly consensual.

THIS. The Wine industry fucking disgusts me. For years whenever I travel I see post cards that say “if only there was wine,” t-shirts at stores say shit like “the only thing getting me through the day is wine,” and its you can see it in TV, Movies, etc as if being an alcoholic is acceptable because life is hard.

Can’t tell you how much I hate the wink-wink “mom’s juice” promotion of wine drinking! I know too many women (“moms” and non-moms) who have developed alcohol problems in middle age. I don’t care how successful you are or if you have kids, if you are daytime drinking in your living room or drinking daily at night to…
