The original communist theorists argued that race was a social construction used to exploit the periphery, and that human progress could only be possible if distinctions based on race (or gender, or ethnic background) were erased. All governments that adopted it were of course racist (and sexist and elitist) as fuck,…

My favorite has to be this one:

They didn’t. It was just silent all around. I went outside immediately to cry. Someone muscled him out there quite a long while later, where he proceeded to tell me it was my fault that I wasn’t attractive to him, because I was huge at 5’8” and 140lbs apparently.

My mother, when I was about 16 (though she denied it forever afterward): “You go through life with a dark cloud over your head, and you spend most of your time trying to increase the density of that cloud.”

Not 100% sure if this counts as negging, but it’s a good story so I’ll tell it anyway.

In the same vein: “Wow, your pronunciation is really good!”. This was said to me by my boss after I told him my own son’s full name. He literally complimented me for correctly pronouncing the name I picked out.

“Don’t worry. They don’t mean you. You’re not really black. Not like that.”

“You have beautiful eyes but they are the saddest and most tragic ones I’ve ever seen”

It really felt that way. The funny thing is it was only a few years ago and I can literally remember nothing else about this guy. Except my friend called him lens crafters because he had these stupid hipster glasses. That’s all I remember about him.

“Your English is great. You almost sound totally American. It's nice to hear someone actually try.”

“Girls who have been raped are normally fucking crazy; you actually seem really normal and pretty stable.”

“You know, I usually like really skinny, pretty Barbie doll types, but I really like you. You are so real and low maintenance. I like how you don’t put so much into your appearance. You’re so real.” After I had spent 2 hours getting ready for this date...

Yeah! When black people say that they were just trying to go to the swimming pool and the cops broke their ribs, we don’t have the whole picture, but when a white guy says he hates black people, you can’t take that seriously.

Yes, I’m sure that when he said, “You’re raping our women and taking over our country,” he was mad about Christians. That’s definitely it.

What about when Chris Pratt tells BDH that she can’t come along because she’s in heels, then BDH ties off her shirt and says something like, “There, happy?” which would be the most ridiculous part of the movie, except for the fact that it actually satisfies Pratt’s objection.

Right? I admittedly don’t watch the show but, from all the clips I’ve seen, it feels like the appeal is: “I do so enjoy water cooler conversations with my uninformed coworkers. If only someone could recreate that as a TV show.”

Would it surprise you to learn that Tilda Swinton was made of pure sunshine?

In my opinion, ethnicity isn’t something one can really move in and out of physically or mentally.

Oh you can guarantee it will be on the next season. I already think they’re going to do a Duggar episode but now they can add this to the pile. I can see it now: Leader of Black Panther Party is found to actually be a white woman who turns out to be a missing Duggar child in disguise who was raising the Duggar…
