I’m p positive my comment was just dismissed (also, um. why?)

I am kind of torn here. Mainstream media always notes the mental illness of white men when we do stuff like he did but then feminists always push back on that, so what is correct response here? I have bipolar and i’ve never hammered a woman in the face (such a good ally) but finding this one difficult to sort.

You missed a prime opportunity to use the phrase 'Grey Rights'. :(

That’s grayist fuck you and your approved commenter privilege.

Meanwhile, at foxnews dot com...

LOL

“white progressive allies just need to shut up and check our privilege, and LISTEN, because what Black Voices have to say about BLACK BODIES is so important and meaningful and factual and never totally full of shit” - typical naive white-guilt Gawker dumbshit

I went to school in Charleston in the early 90s.

Shhhhh...don't inject common sense and basic reading comprehension into this discussion. It has no place here.

I just ask The Lord to give me strength when White people attempt to explain racism to me and He sees me through...

I had some friends in college who were Latin or Central American and tried to explain the different attitudes to me once (shortly after I innocently asked a new Cuban friend if she was Mexican, which is apparently something you should never ever ever do, as I now know). Once girl who was very light-skinned Guatemalan…

Keep showing your a$%, please. It’s so comical when Jezzie commenters try to “White-splain” racism to Black folks.

Of course they are—-I never said they weren’t.

I am a highly educated, incredibly literate dark-skinned Haitian-American lawyer who has family currently living both in P-a-P and in the countryside. I am fully aware of who DR’s president is currently and who has been president of DR over the last 15 years. Not to mention that I was at the inauguration of Haiti’s…

I’ll never understand the blatant racism in Latin America. In El Salvador (where my dad is from), most people are mixed with Spanish and Native American (Pipil, Lenca). Yet if you look more Native than Spanish, you’re discriminated against. Like “Oh yes, I’m brown, but he’s browner” kinda bullshit. :/

Thank you for this article! I think it can be hard on spaces like Jezebel to discuss racism where White folks are not the direct culprits. But it’s a very important discussion that needs to be had.

Wait, you’re serious? Ha! I’ve never encountered anyone who actually bought into that particular nutty notion before. I thought y’all were rarer than Ancient Astronaut nuts.

That’s not how it works. That’s not how any of this works! Her parents are white! She’s white. She’s delusional and you do neither her and nor black people at large any favors by entertaining her delusions. We can call Bruce - Caitlyn and use “she” as a pronoun but she still has a penis and balls. Women do not have…

Using shit excuses from 300+ years ago is lame. Do you think today's black person would rather be in Africa or America???? They have all the need to be successful in the USA except the drive and will to better themselves.

Well screw it. I’m now a Dragon. Don’t judge me! :D

If Bruce Jenner can take some drugs and say he’s a woman, then I don’t see why Rachel Dolezal can’t get a tan and a hair stylist and say she’s black.
