That’s what I’m referring to and you don’t need to be so mean to me. Damon is a tone-deaf so-called liberal who doesn’t get the problems POC go through every day. You asked for a better link. I provided one. Step off.

I never understand what these writers want from Beyonce, anyways. If she didn’t call herself a feminist, I’m sure they’d criticize. When she does call herself one, it’s never in the right way. One gets the feeling they genuinely want her to step down from being an international pop star and enroll in a masters…

White people claiming economic equality will “solve” racism is so transparently self-serving, and yet people who believe it are also often quick to claim “more woke than u” status when challenged. It’s extremely annoying.

ECONOMIC EQUALITY WILL SOLVE ALL RACISM! (says the white lady who in theory is reasonably well-off and yet still ignorant of her own racism blind spots soooooo...)

ughhhhhhhh

Because Jezebel had that bullshit “Why I am no longer Feminist “ interview on there, in which both Beyonce and HRC was called out.

Lol I checked that article in these comments as well and wish I’d just scrolled further to find this. That author really felt free to slam Beyonce, didn’t she? I was like honey, the reason you don’t think “white feminism” is a thing is because WHITE FEMINISM IS CALLING FROM INSIDE THE HOUSE.

Oh they already had their own special “let’s criticize Beyonce” moment this week:

There is more intelligence and eloquence in RBG’s thick rimmed glasses than in all of Trump’s (quite substantial) body.

As an example, Ginsburg cited the Post’s Watergate investigation in which reporters Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein exposed the the Watergate scandal that would lead to President Richard Nixon’s resignation.

4? 40!

Oh my god if there were ever prayers needed please grant Ginsberg another 4 years of good health

I met him & Michelle in Dec.

Yea it all just read as an excercise in privilege. Not all of us have the privilege to opt out of a capitalist system. Some of have ya know debt and stuff

oops apologies for editing my comment :)

Lol, right? There ya go, blue ribbon, YOURE THE BEST. The rest of us will be over here rolling our eyes at you and trying to make a difference in the real world where we actually live, but at least you won the contest!

“Ironically she is a model of what she proposes to criticize. Tone-deaf, superficial, and rhetorical, and doesn’t take any context or solidarity from different experiences into account.”

I’m in a good mood and this interview pissed me off. I got married for things like health insurance and inheritance purposes, should I have forgone health insurance on the matter of principle?

Exactly! She appears to be someone from a position of deep privilege who is borrowing haphazardly from genuinely thoughtful critiques to capitalize on her own brand - there’s nothing more trendy and capitalist than doing things with the F-word. Ironically she is a model of what she proposes to criticize. Tone-deaf…

Apparently you quit your job, leave your SO, only buy fair-trade local food and clothes...and also somehow earn enough money to do so without ever compromising in any way in the capitalist system in which we all live. And if you have kids, feed them with big helpings of hearty judgement made on everyone around you.…
