Many straight men view gay men as traders to our sex, unreliable, untrustworthy a threat. Morality is a very convenient distraction from immorality.

You are right that it is an American issue, because it happens to everyone. Class indicators are very obvious to people that recognize them. Black people are being killed because the authorities know they have little if any recourse. If every black person accused, harassed, assaulted, charged by the police could…

Thanks for the time to write your response, it was very informative. I feel like in the states, at least since about 2000, any sort of anti establishment talk, even very simple things like bringing up Universal healthcare is considered suspect and radical and met with hostility from even people on the left. In the…

The point is that this is not just about racism but about economic disparity. Frankly all poor people are treated like garbage in this country. They only way this is going to end is if the issue is presented as an economic issue so that all backgrounds can be included. If you tell a white person, poor black people are…

That is awful and hilarious, and those boys are dicks, and I’m mad at your mom and it’s OK to have leg hair at 12. I am a boy with very hairy legs (since about 12) so I fell your pain.

^more talk about America’s need to sexualize young girls

Please tell your daughters it is perfectly lady like and adorable to kick any man right in the nutsack if they make any kind of questionable advance.

One of the best most enlightening articles I’ve read about understanding issues women face. The idea that straight men fixate on adolescent girls is no big secret, but wow, is it creepy. Seems like there should be less talk about the gay agenda / gay marriage and America’s need to sexualize young girls.

Science, air time to fill, racism

Not projecting. He then does this blinking thing, followed by an expression which I can only read as, “OK, be professional, we’re on live, this stupid fuc*ing twat, I can’t believe she said something so completely fuc*ing stupid, yes I can.”

Property damage is expensive. This is an economic issue. It is about protecting wealth. Black or white, it is about protecting wealthy from poor people with nothing to lose.

I would equate her behavior and tone with issues of class and personal ambition. The sooner people realize this is an economic issue as much as it is about race, and frame it that way, people will continue to be divided.

You have to give the people a little bit of sugar with their medicine.

I understand what you’re saying, but this isn’t 1850, it’s 2015 and we know far more about crowd control, economic manipulation and disruption. Our gov is functioning more on the level of China and Russia and poorly organized civil disobedience is only going to be met with a world class PR blitz and a military…

That reminds me specifically of James Brown’s famous work during the Boston Riots.

It is happening in Mexico right now, as well as every other country where income disparity is the norm. This is as much a poverty issue as it is race issue.

It is absolutely the same, but overthrowing of those regimes, or institutions took years of organizing and political pressure. Rioting is probably the most reckless, self defeating thing a group can do, right up there with car bombing and terrorism. Organize. Ghandi set out a plan that works. Dr. King put together a…

That fact that the discussion is “how black is the mayor really?” gives me little hope.

I fully agree about internalized racism “self hatred” “uncle tomming” or whatever you want to call it, but to reiterate: You are clearly not active in the Gay community because thug is used with utter disregard to race. There are Asian thugs, Hispanic thugs, white thugs, black thugs, and even filipino thugs. Guess…

You are clearly not active in the Gay community because thug is used with utter disregard to race. There are Asian thugs, Hispanic thugs, white thugs, black thugs, and even filipino thugs. Guess what, in the film noire, all the thugs are white. All rainbows aren’t gay and all thugs aren’t black.
