Overall, yes. And while his take is technically correct (the best kind of correct), it’s sort of missing the point: yeah, if we simply straight-up reversed things so that black people had all the power and started oppressing white people the same way white people oppress and have been oppressing black people, that…

That situation was beautiful. I remember the right-wing breathlessly hyped that a video was about to drop that was so damning it would force AOC to resign. Then it was... that.

Been fighting since I was old enough to fight. Flouncing out of the room when old racist relatives continue with diminishment or hate speech - cutting them completely when they don’t stop. (I have an aunt that’s dead to me). Speaking up with at LEAST “that’s inappropriate” when people tell ‘jokes’ in front of me.…

Probably they do not want the emotional labor of constantly giving white people answers.  

I don’t want to hear a fucking thing from white allies. I want to SEE them smacking the shit out of people like burnbaby73, their friends, their family members, any and all others that are clearly blind as fuck and spout racist, ignorant bullshit, whataboutism, or are trying to tune out.

What a shitty response.

Yes, that is a true statement. And without any context, that would be fine to say. However, the point of this entire article is to explain why, in context, saying that actually cheapens an important movement.  So you either (i) didn’t read the article before commenting, (ii) are a moderately successful troll, or (iii)…

You really should have read the article.

All lives can’t matter until Black Lives Matter, Muslim Lives Matter, LGBTQ+ Lives Matter, etc,...and in this country and many other they clearly don’t.

Until they do, “All Lives Matter” is a logical fallacy.

Let me edit that for you:

All lives *SHOULD* matter. Equally.

But in practice, they don’t. In this country, Africans Americans are more likely to be arrested, charged, tried, convicted, imprisoned, denied bail, denied parole, and killed by the government than white people or even some other minorities.

Hazel, I really enjoyed your take, but I have to disagree with the overall thesis. Disclaimer: I am a Gaga stan.

fucking king. 

I’ve got a group of friends who are all devoted Gaga fans. We bonded over her music when she first burst on to the scene when we were in college and we have all remained close since. We’ve traveled together to see her tours, danced the “Bad Romance” dance at each other’s weddings, blasted her hits on the rooftops of…

Speaking of skateboards, this footage isn’t getting enough media attention.

We can’t afford to be perceived as enemies of law and order.

I mean, I’m not sure if you’re being sarcastic or not, but the whole problem is that organized protests with clear speeches by community leaders happen all the time, including in the midst of this, and none of it gets press UNTIL stuff goes all wobbly.

For instance, I work on McAllister in San Francisco and there were…

“Is that your Bible?”

POS never served one day in the military. How disrespectful to use the men & women who are serving as a pawn for his political sick agenda👿

I disagree on Jaida’s second lipsync. Not all drag queens are art directors or have the resources (or, honestly, access to materials, given COVID lockdowns) or skills to stage elaborate things like what Crystal and Gigi did. It’s not like drag queens in the real world typically get much input into their staging setups…
