Where are you pulling this information? She tweeted, “White people, slavery is a *YALL* thing.”

I have no doubt that the Arabs engaged in extensive slave trade. As did many, many other groups. I just find it problematic when people say “well other people had slaves, so it is totally okay that the US enslaved black people!” I love a nuanced historical discussion of race and slavery. I do not love when people try…

yes, but they usually have reasons if they ever are dicks to the waiting staff. White women are loaded with cash and their biggest problem is brunch reservations getting canceled

Sorry, but I think if you are going to advance a racist anti-Muslim agenda, it is incumbent upon you to speak the Queen’s English. Anyone who wants to defend the slave trade must be able to converse in the language of Kipling.

Of course not...we don’t tip...duh.

white women are the worst, and i can say that as a black man who has just finished working a shift of waiting on a bunch of annoying white american princesses

It’s an honorary degree not a real one. Every brick and mortar university gives them out and Kanye is not going to be using it to compete with people in the job market. He did not take away PhDs from “the millions of grad students who have been busting their asses over actual graduate level work.” Also, Kanye’s work is…

Well, I mean I totally hear you on the struggles/costs of higher ed, but it’s an honorary art degree. He’s been working in the arts (music anyway) his whole career and he’s had massive success. It’s not like they gave him a PhD in engineering or something. He got rich and famous because of his songwriting, which is an…

Academic in not understanding pop culture shocker.

Yes, I do.

It’s not a pleasant way to spend the holiday for the workers doing it.

Is she? Here’s a couple of excerpts from that speech:

Really sad, but I just don't believe Hilary. I think she will say anything that you want to hear to get your vote, (like all political candidates.) If her campaign funding is backed by billionaires and bankers then she is owned and she will do their bidding. Paid Family Leave will be put on the back burner because big…

It would be huge, but that doesn’t mean it would automatically be great for women, especially those at the “bottom.” And way to be condescending and dismissive with the age comment that completely failed to address any of their points. Margaret Thatcher’s success was huge, but that doesn’t mean it was a complete boon…

I’m 30.

Her simply being in office doing women’s issues a world of good is bullshit. Pick up a history book and read about social norms; some of the biggest supporters and reinforcers of the standards of patriarchy were, and still are, women. History is littered with women rulers who only expanded or maintained the power of…

I know! I don’t think of any of that as being terribly unusual, but then my family are all geniuses (I mean that literally) except my brother and me. We don’t know what happened when they got to us. They ran out?

It is so weird and disqusting to me that even Jezebel readers are capable of finding exuses for males. Women have the same problems, but you don’t see them killing husbands/boyfriends in same numbers like guys do. PLEASE stop with defending monsters and giving them fuel to kill! half of the comments here are in…

Well, she is not Black, and that’s fine. Not Black = don’t say that word. Unless you are part of the group that took that word among themselves in an attempt to take the sting out of it and who suffer from its use as a racial slur, you simply don’t get to say it.

Being a non-Black person running around saying “nigga” is not being “proud” of everything she is. I don’t care about any pressure she does or doesn’t feel, but I do care about people profiting off of Blackness and using the parts of Blackness that they think are “cool” while not standing with Black people. So that’s…
