To be fair, those Republicans helped set up Planned Parenthood in poor regions because they didn’t want poor people reproducing. That’s hardly noble or feminist.

I dunno how much of the manufacturing issues are Jenna’s fault, though. It’s her fault in the sense that she’s responsible for everything, but the quality control guy and the board of directors who hired her to cut costs are also to blame.

The fly in the ointment of your argument is that lying about your service record or plagirizing IS an “impediment” in doing a job. You can’t lie about your qualifications and do your job just fine. Those qualifications exist for a reason. You can’t steal somebody else’s work and pass it on as your own when your job is…

You are indeed saying ALL of that just because she lied about being black.

Her identity - just like your identity - is totally irrelevant when it comes to her qualifications to do the jobs she applied to do. Her racial/ethnic identity is nobody’s fucking business but her own. Just like your racial/ethnic identity is…

Since you seem to be rather dense, let me be more blunt. My point is that anybody with her resume would have been lauded by the likes of Kara Brown as being an excellent champion for her community, a good feminist and someone we should all be proud of.

And that would have been true no matter if people deemed her…

You can bet all you want; it still doesn’t change the fact that you have ZERO evidence to support the contention that she was incompetent at her job or faked her degree.

If being full of shit was an impediment to doing a job, then nobody would be qualified to be a lawyer, journalist or political consultant.

Being black had nothing to do with her ability to be a good NAACP head or a good teacher. And it’s ridiculous to say that being black makes one qualified to teach African American…

I don’t think she’s a racist. But I do doubt her own grip on reality given how completely unhinged her posts on the matter sound. And not for nothing, but if I were Rachel I’d be suing the shit out of Kara and her gaggle of vultures.

I get that there is a certain amount of trolling afoot.

However to villify someone to the extent that Kara Brown has you sorta owe it to your reading public to justify that level of bile. Who has Rachel Dolezal really harmed, aside from maybe herself with her own identity issues? What horrible things has this woman…

Her degree is real, and her advocacy is real. But the fact that she’s not really a black person nullifies everything she’s ever done because..reasons.

How is she reaping what she sowed? Prior to being outed by her mom, everyone judged her on her work, and deemed her to be a qualified individual who did excellent work for her community. And now because she’s technically not black none of that counts? GTFO.

The unfortunate truth is that you real problem with Rachel Dolezal is that you would have never doubted her blackness had she not been outed by her mom.

If nobody had outed her, you’d be lauding her as an exemplary individual who championed the rights of black people in her capacity as NAACP chair.

And instead of…

Blasphemy. No soap outdid “Dynasty”. They had the best people wearing evening dresses for no reason and fighting in pools.

The only thing weird about this thread is you adamant refusal to admit to the underlying xenophobia going on here.

A white kid who’s an ahole and brings in a clock that looked like a bomb wouldn’t have caused such hysteria. Yet an ahole brown kid who does the same thing warrants this shitshow with police? Gimme a…

How can you be so sure of intent, to so confidently say that someone dressed as a bank robber on Halloween does not have the same (malicious) intent that some who brings in a fake gun?

Are you conveniently unfamiliar with the actual murders that occur on Halloween that people shrug off as decorations? Here’s one from…

What makes Halloween decorations, like severed fingers and heads, any different than a clock that looks like bomb?

If he came to school with a bunch of severed fingers, does it not stand to reason that they’d also have a fit about it - irrespective of whether they thought the fingers were real or not?

My personal favorite was the complaint from a commenter about them sending food that she didn’t like because it gave her a rash.

I mean seriously, if that’s your idea of “manipulation” you need to get your head out of your privileged ass and get a damn job so you can understand that sometimes food which gives you a…

Not being “ethusiastic” about getting her AWOL kid Christmas presents is not “manipulation”.

And FYI, having the luxury of getting a full ride during college is a pretty damn great Christmas gift.

So they had an issue with the kid bringing in a clock that looked like a bomb but that they knew was not a bomb.

Then why get the police involved and create a scene at all, then? Do they have the same hysterical reactions to their Halloween decorations just because they look like severed fingers and heads? No.

Any way…

Here’s the thing: when you use a loaded word like “abuse” to describe the fact that your parents didn’t use THEIR money in a way that YOU wanted them to, you do a dis-service to kids who actually are abused and harmed by their parents.

As plenty of poor kids can tell your entitled ass, somebody buying you menstrual…
