Ending up at a place in life where you have the knowledge of what the right place and time is, or having the opportunity to network with someone besides the cashier at Starbucks and your landlord - that is luck in and of itself. Just to try and subtract out the ‘who your parents are’ part - let’s pretend you are a HS…

...sheltered from it if you are white. People of color, however, experience racism in the Bay Area all the time, every day. Like W. Kamau Bell at the Elmwood Cafe in Berkeley, or Rasheed Albashari and his friends at Lake Merritt last December, when a white woman yelled Islamophobic slurs at them and threw coffee on…
You are going to hurt yourself with all of this reaching.
Thank you.
Slur? A name?
Iggy: you would not be down if i started calling all black men “deshawns”
Let’s leave Kim alone, or at least discuss the underlying issue rather than just gawking.
To be fair, this piece was generally considered to be a fairly unethical hit job (for instance, the writer goaded MIA to have the truffle fries and then used it as a point to illustrate her privilege, as we knew from, as i recall, released tapes of the interview). Also, Ben Bronfman is in fact the son of a billionaire…
I would like for people, esp. other people of color, to stop acting as if black people are in this privileged position where everybody takes our concerns more seriously than they take the concerns of other marginalized groups.
Gawker reported on this story already, but this wasn’t even the only incident that came out this weekend!

Sanctuaries and wildlife preserves are also able to promote conservation of a…
being pressured into a sexual act by a fucking sex predator does not ruin your credibility, asshole.
The New York Times editorial board weighed in Thursday on what they called the “outrageous” sentenced handed down to…

Even “honkies” has almost no effect. You really want to make white Americans experience what it feels like to be the victim of a stereotype based purely on the color of their skin, make a shirt with a white cartoon face that says “Racists”.
Only on this white feminist website would you get people advocating for colonialism instead of actually showing sympathy with the victims.
You’d think by now women on Jezebel would have figured out a way to sympathise with oppressed non-western women without wishing for their imperialist filled with western-ideals glory days back.
I really object to the term “suicide bomber” when a person is forced to set off a bomb that was strapped to their body. We have to come up with another term. They are victims, too.
