Well, sure. OP claimed that the white woman was “the most powerful force on earth”.

You made a burner just for this?

Except your broad strokes spoke only to the disadvantages of being a white woman compared to a white man. And this is what we endlessly hear about. So I don’t blame the author of the original comment for speaking in the broad strokes that no one ever likes to talk about and I don’t blame any black woman for being…

There’s a bit more to the story than that.

Did you read Underground Railroad? The one chapter from the perspective of the white woman in the book made me sadder for her than some of the slaves written about, precisely for the reasons you cite to here.

White women are this odd combination of oppressed and privileged. Patriarchy gives them both and I have to think it’s maddening for them. Which isn’t to excuse them, I just think it explains things. They are infantilized by their fathers long after an appropriate age and thus end up behaving like children when they…

Fuck white women.

It’s even worse than it sounds. ”Run away” is not an accurate description of what happened.  

Love the PS. Hate the fact this shit continues to happen “uncontested”

How did Kepler’s daughter “run away” when she was 18? She’s an adult. Can do anything she wants. What, he had her cuffed in the basement?

We will not lower ourselves to such a level. There is good and bad in everyone of every race. What we need now more than ever is POC in high places refusing to be bought off by money or loyalty to party. Unfortunately there are few.

Hate speech is not free speech

I keep wondering how none of these people who’ve murdered unarmed black men, don’t end up dead in a ditch somewhere after being acquitted.

I participated in a diversity initiative my freshman year at UMD. I’m not sure if they still do it, but I hope they get their shit together soon. Nooses on campus are nothing new—rare, but not new.

Your instincts are correct.

Money down that this is just a ploy and nothing he says or does will ever have any lasting effect.

One bad thing: it’s emboldened the racists.

One good thing about Trump administration. It has unmasked the hidden racist.

Just another soulless white who lives in perpetual envy of black people.

I had the same reaction. He lynched this young man because he was fearful of what the black peen might do to his daughter’s snowflake purity.

who had run away from home and to “crime ridden neighborhoods.”
