Yeah, Northam was a “teen” of 25 when that photo was taken.

I read to the end as you asked, but holy shit if this doesn’t completely exemplify what the issues actually are.

The only true value a trash ass loser like Chris Brown holds? He’s an example of why hero worship and celebrity worship are toxic and self abusive behaviors that we should all be pushing ourselves away from. Actors, singers, directors, are all humans, and usually jump at the first chance in their careers to act like…

But those who need to hear this most won’t hear me, though.

I think Black people should focus on tackling Colorism and its affects in our community first. How Colorism in the Black American community historically has played out is unique to us. Non-black people of color should have their own discussions and in no way be centered in our own . Let the Latinos tackle the rigid  ra…

I know. Being a Dark skinned double minority is brutal and puzzling. Don;t even get me started on Black men who *love* dark-skinned woman only if the have a certain aesthetic.

Well, as soon as light-skinned folks stop denying and lying about their privilege, the conversation can move forward. Like poor whites who deny their pivilege by lamenting who their prents were, how hard they work, and how they’ve never received ANYTHING, it is infuriating!

I mean, I don’t disagree with you; but, my point still stands that colorism affects Black women significantly more (just like any other abuse which affects women more).

It always gets ugly. But colorism is still a gigantic problem that needs addressing.

That’s like saying “I don’t trust conventionally attractive people to lead a discussion on colorism”.

Hm, I really question our ability to have a nuanced conversation about colorism. Most I’ve seen end up in darker skinned folks complaining that lighter skinned folks benefit from colorism and don’t own their part in it. Lighter skinned folks complaining that their Blackness and experience gets discounted by other…

“damn, we don’t have to shoot people?!”

Wait... you’re telling me that it’s possible to deal with a big threatening person, who might be high on drugs, without killing them? You mean to tell me that this situation was dealt with accordingly, and that accordingly doesn’t have to include death?

You clearly do not understand how difficult (read: nearly impossible) it is to build a functional society when all the resources required to build a functional society have already been pilfered or walled off, leaving people in dire poverty and near starvation. Desperate people act on their desperation just to…

You mean the ones that white Europeans have spent the last two millenniums pilfering, raping, and destroying like a plague? Gee, I wonder why they’re infested shitholes....

As a white person I can say that white Jews are only ever catagorized as “non-white” by real terrible people(aka Nazis and White supremicists). Those people also hate Catholics, homosexuals, most women and pretty much any other group but themselves.

Seriously. Could have shown that picture and not needed to write another word.

Although they are not fully accepted into the cult of whiteness, the Jewish community most definitely benefits from the systems of white supremacy and institutionalized racism that oppresses POC in this country everyday.

Secondly, let us disabuse ourselves of the notion that Jews don’t benefit from white privilege.
