Don’t um him, this kinda shit is how we lost Gawker...

This is horrifying. Thanks for the image. Not all of us grew up on farms, we like to know that our chicken comes from the store.

This is why I’m okay eating chickens but not cows and pigs? Chickens are so fucking dumb.

It’s amazing how many times I’ve heard from christians that we should accept their abuse because Muslims would “throw you off a building” like we should somehow be thankful for their hate because they aren’t the shittiest person on the planet.

Obviously a bit of bias. In the survey, Muslims refers to all those who identify as Muslim (from the strictest Salafist to the most liberal culturally-identifying, but non-practicing, Muslims) whereas white evangelicals only refers to a subset of white Christians. At 52% accepting of homosexuality, American Muslims…

She was by definition evangelical - evangelicals believe in a constant campaign of proselytizing and conversion. Hence ‘evangelical.’ This is why so many of them want to erase the barriers between church and state, so that they can bring indoctrination materials and activities to public schools, government buildings,…

Evangelism is a belief that one is obligated to spread the “good word of Jebus”. If she was “witnessing” to you, she was almost certainly an evangelical. We were taught that if we failed to “save” someone their blood (and eternal soul, natch) was literally on our hands, which is why evangelism has turned into this…

I, too, am more accepting of gay people than I am of white evangelicals.

Wow. Already?
I mean - Joy Reid just had her first panel (Erika Alexander, Jamil Smith, our own Jason Johnson) just this past weekend.

It’s like he heard the whole “chin down” thing about modeling and decided to never lift his head again. He bends back at the waist to watch fireworks.

Nobody is gonna see this, but for all the white folk freaking out, here are a few tips. As someone from a mixed race family who came out looking white, I’m quite aware of the power my skin has in society. I know I’m privileged in a way my aunts aren’t and my grandma wasn’t. I know white people don’t get it. I don’t…

As someone who is a white ally I respond to this article like the old Chris Rock routine about sexist rap lyrics, “he’s not talking about me.”

Most trashy nouveau riche people ARE racist douchebags. Like they overtly compensate for it because the social register types still think they’re trash, so they have to hand it off to someone else. There are a HOARD of these people in the NYC area.

If you’re a white person who is offended by the idea of White Allies, then you are part of the problem and pretty much the exact thing the description is talking about.

White people are allowed to be “good kids” no matter how old and no matter how criminal.

Lol, we’re more likely to get a lifted dually parked up on the sidewalk and a pair of edible thongs purchased at the Circle K. 

I can’t find the blog post to credit this idea (maybe someone can help me out- I think it was from very smart brothas) but it really summed up why “allies” rub everyone but themselves the wrong way: when you base your identity on being a “good” white person, you need “bad” white people to support that identity. You’re…

I’ve just learned about white allies. I’ve been terrified that I am one. I’m thinking I am not. This makes me more confident. I do, however, think I am a gay ally. I am constantly looking for a “thank you” after sex. Thoughts?

Goin all the fuckin way!

As a white woman? Sure, you’re taught that. But if you don’t have the right parents to correct the cultural views, then it’s pretty easy to buy in to the concept that being a good person = getting a cookie. I’ve done a lot of volunteer work over the years, and I always find it amazing how some people show up and…
