Because getting excited over dumb BS like this doesn’t actually accomplish anything.

But in fact this isn’t an unpopular opinion. What it is, is White Supremacy at work. This is what people of color talk about when we say white people and white supremacy and white feminism.
I hope Jezebel delves into her flagrant racism. I’ve seen her heralded as a feminist and perhaps she is — for White women. She loves to vilify Black women and children like Sandra bland and the young teen girl who was manhandled by the cops at the pool in a Texas. In her mind Black women are “no angels” and asking for…
My dad used to sum up this phenoma with the following truism about the different flavors of racism. In the south, black people can be your friends but never your equal. In the north, black people can be your equal but not your friend.
This is 100% fact from my interactions and observations too. VERY well stated. +1
Similar living situation and experiences that you’ve had. Completely agree. Being back in the North I’m actually more irritated by people that are Progressive only in theory, but when actual discussions and interactions they absolutely show no inclination to interact.
There’s an old saying that goes something like this:
If you compare the voluntary playing of college football to slavery, you may need to go back and watch “Roots” again.
Santa is white, Jesus is white, a young girl assaulted by police was “no angel” according to this feminist Icon. She has the morals and ethics of a crack whore. Correction crack whore’s are honest. The fact that people consider her, Gretchen Carlson and Andrea Tantaros brave for standing up to Fox News is nauseating.…
Kimbo can’t really box these days, either.
What is white culture? Serious question. I didn’t grow up around white people, and I don’t have many white people in my life other than work colleagues.
Considering LeBron James can do whatever the fuck he wants and not get a technical, at this point technicals are pretty much arbitrary, so who gives a shit. The refs will give Green one when they want to and come up with a reason later.
Just from being in high school: if you trip me and I legitimately fall, I’m gonna be fuckin PISSED. It’s far more dangerous to get tripped and land on a wrist, elbow, etc. Getting kicked in the nuts hurts, but everyone has a good laugh and you’re fine in 5-10 mins. When someone gets tripped and falls, everyone kinda…
But that seems to be the point of the story. The fact that he egregiously condemns another human being to a doomed fate in a selfish act to curb his own loneliness, is the exact discussion you should have after reviewing the story. A character committing something terrible does not make the story bad. From the…
This is SO CLOSE to an interesting movie. It’s interesting-movie-adjacent.
serious question: would people be more or less taken aback if the roles were reversed? I get the feeling that if this were the case, more people would be talking about how much more of a great love story it would be, instead of the shitfest it already is
While I agree Cho’s characterization is off, Tilda is also missing the mark in these emails. Tilda is benefiting from the whitewashing of a character, but won’t look at the historical significance of this because she personally doesn’t feel that way. As a person of color, that is definitely one of the most aggravating…
not to be a wang, but minorities have pretty much always been killing it in the arts community. it shouldn’t take a twitter account to make you realize that.
Lol I always thought the only thing ethereal about her was how paper-white she is.
This does not surprise me in the slightest. There are just certain people who you can tell are like that and Swinton definitely has those vibes. It’s like when Taylor Swift touched the weekends hair, or when Tina Fey had trouble naming latinos in show business, or when Sherlock Holmes (aka animorphs face) used the…
