I saw one of those memes, I think it was the original article, and it made me fucking sick when there was a line about “Irish girls and women being bred with black men to create mulattos”. Tapping in to the fear of white blood being polluted and subtly reinforcing the “black men are out to rape our wimmin!” narrative…

As a historian and an Irishman, I thoroughly approve of this. I mean, yes, there are some famously awful things that the Irish people have gone through over the years (the aforementioned research from the article, Oliver Cromwell, the Irish Famine, etc.), but the important thing to remember is that the Irish were…

If you were going to murder someone this is EXACTLY what you’d say to throw off suspicion.

Not true. I’m a grad student pursuing a PhD in the hard sciences at a major public university. BLM does not do that and campus climate is far from the “China in the early days of the Cultural Revolution.” BLM has prompted some good discussions that will improve the academic environment. They are not shutting down…

Sure.

Serious students pursuing degrees in hard sciences have to study in locked rooms so that BLM people will not barge in and scream at them.

People who use sjw as an insult are almost certainly bigots and definitely have the mental faculties of a concussed goldfish

I will never ever ever understand older dudes who date girls younger than 21. Like, if you’re in your 30s or 40s, and you can’t legally go out to a bar with your gf, SHE IS TOO YOUNG BOO BOO FIND SOMEONE A BIT OLDER.

“Surely this girl can’t look THAT much like Kendall Jen-”

GOOD.

As a fellow POC, I too am disappointed. I’m not surprised, but there is certainly a level of sadness in me right now.

Can’t wait for all the white women to come tell you your wrong that Hillary Will save black people.

As a black Sanders supporter, I’m disappointed. I don’t believe that Hillary will help protect black people from institutional racism as much as Bernie would so I see this as a safety issue. It’s disappointing that Sanders couldn’t build off his momentum in Michigan more, but...

Said it before and will say again: literally don't care who is on the Dem ticket. I was and am a Bernie supporter but I would vote for Voldemort at this point over any of the fuckwits on the other side.

Only Black people corn row their hair. Only our hair can hold corn rows. We have been doing it since the beginning of time. So yes, anyone can wear braids and many cultures do. But corn rowing, specifically, is African, and attempting to pretend or rebrand is whitewashing, lying, cultural appropriation, etc.

No, it’s about how cornrows are a black thing. That in the past they were associated with ‘scary’ black people and were a ‘trashy’ hair style according to American popular culture, but now that they’ve been approved through mainstream whiteness via blonde UFC fighters, they’re a hot trend for white people to try and…

Jesus for real i remember getting made fun of my braids when i was little, its how i made my first friend in pre school :) she’s black and Im mexican and she came up to me and said WE HAVE THE SAME HAIR!!!!! :) so fuck the kardashians I've been rocking braids since 1996

I love Yvette Nicole Brown’s response to this “trend” so I’ll just leave this here

Agreed. He’s implying that there’s a double standard (which there is) and neither party should be subjected to cat calling (agreed) and that with women they often feel physically threatened (they do). So, I don’t know what’s with Bobby’s criticism.
