OMFG. You are backtracking and being obtuse now. You and I, both white people, damn well know that white society most definitely do not approach social and economic problems from this perspective. We abhor looking in the mirror, much like a pasty-faced Dracula, when it comes to race and class, and you know it.

“I don’t mean those questions judgingly.”

My grandma had 52 grandkids. She was one of the meanest people I knew.:)

Asshole is being obtuse.

Tough trip back from Charlottesville?

You prove my point. You are pathetic, as all your disingenuous and whiny comments on this thread prove. Your ad hominem attacks actually weaken the struggle against anti-Semitism.

It’s a lot, lot more than 1 percent of the population that is racist. My economically comfortable, seemingly respectable, educated relatives who voted for him because of his racism and misogyny are more representative of the millions who voted for him. They are not statistically insignificant, just because they don’t…

Jesus F. Christ - you just contradicted your whole argument here in your anecdote about the bigoted Uber driver! SMDH. Economic anxiety my fat white ass. I have fucking economic anxiety; not a single ONE of my comfortably well-off, educated relatives who voted for Trump are suffering from it. They loved his racism,…

Uh, it’s the Israeli occupation, not Palestinian. This sentence pretty much tells me all I need to know about what you really think about “liberals” who don’t tow your pro-Israeli line 100 percent.

Wrong. Stupid comment. And you are example A of what he wrote about.

The hell it does. I came from a socio-economic background that precluded fancy, expensive SAT prep tutors. I am also dyslexic and have dyscalculia. I scored, predictably, so poorly that I basically just got points for just showing up. Went on to get my MA from Georgetown, was a Fulbright Scholar, etc. (Cue the…

Ignore him. He’s just pissed that some BLM activist leaders have logically shown public solidarity with their Palestinian brothers and sisters. People like him are on the wrong side of justice and history, and they just don’t know what to do about it except fling poo everywhere re: Palestinians and see where it…

Yeah, not only is this rancid human fart racist as shit, he actually thinks it’s hilarious to portray the water torture of a little girl. I pray he doesn’t have any daughters. If he is a dad, I hope that the county is keeping a close eye on what goes on in his family. All kinds of red sirens here.

No, it’s because you refuse to consider facts contrarian to your racist beliefs.

Yes, you idiot. Do a simple google search on the 10 top countries hosting the majority of the world’s refugees. None of them would be considered “White” by you, including the “Arabs” who are at the top of the list, and have very small populations (Jordan and Lebanon).

Yes! My younger Muslim colleagues and friends and former students are overwhelmingly pro-LGBT in their views - some of them very openly and vocally so. My older Muslim colleagues and friends (more my age) definitely agree with me that the younger generation is going to have very different views than their generation.

Thank you. Turkey, Iran, Pakistan and Lebanon host the most refugees, with many in Jordan now, too.

I have two degrees more than my immediate (male) boss. I work longer hours, and get more results by almost every metric. I have 10 years more experience. Guess who makes - a lot - more? I exercised my agency and did my best to make those “right decisions” you ballyhoo. Although your “right decisions” are probably…

Ya gotta start somewhere. I, for one, welcome as many progressive, pro-LGBTQ feminist muslim women as possible as my overlords in this county. As some guy once said, “First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you [or throw hateful twitter/facebook shit at you], then you win.” Go, Deedra!
