“The parts that we think are less honorable we treat with special honor.” 1 Corinthians 12:23 When people deal with color, class or culture in a negative way, that’s racism. But the answer is not to ignore these as if they don’t matter. Instead, we can look at color, class and culture in a positive way. That’s…

Groups on the fringes of whiteness are the most racist as they aspire to full membership in the cult of white supremacy. That’s one reason why Italians, Irish, and other “recently white” groups are over represented in hate groups.

I was commenting on the thread and just attached it to the top of the thread. You weren’t body shaming anyone; sorry if it seemed like I was accusing you, that wasn’t my intention.

Not everyone is in a legal recreational state you lucky bastard you!

This can only take you so far. Being proud of your blackness in 1901 still means that society’s position has limited your options in lots of ways. Similarly but much less dramatically, even if you personally don’t feel shame pervasive societal attitudes impact your social options, employment options, housing…

I’m disappointed but not surprised that a thread on body shaming devolved into body shaming of another sort...

Body shaming is body shaming

Republicans will do anything to obtain power, including pretending to be Democrats. That’s why abortion rights need to be a core value of the Democratic Party. Not only does it help to build a social and economic identity, but it makes it pretty hard for cons like this one to run cons as they’re wont to do.

I’m not an Incubus fan but an ex of mine was and I’ve been to several of their live shows with her. They are INCREDIBLY talented musicians even if their stuff isn’t my jam. I’m much more into Solange I’d love to see an entire joint show between them.

White nationalists are cowards at heart and rarely boldly proclaim their allegiances. Instead, as the clown above did, they hide symbols in a mess of unrelated graphics and text. Apparently several of these clowns wore these shirts to court.

Student organizations could ultimately affect some meaningful disruption with the divest portion of the movement, I’m not sure why you minimize their role. Divestments had a role in ending apartheid, boycotts helped power the civil rights movement, these aren’t meaningless levers - they’re very powerful tools.

Oh please. That you think the link between the 13th amendment loophole and mass incarceration that just so happens to affect some communities much more than others isn’t sufficient to power a dialogue on race says WORLDS about your perspective or lack thereof.

There are slaves all over the US right now and many perform skilled labor producing commercial products, not sure how modern slavery is unbelievable to you; we have it now.

How to live with a roommate, pay rent, and manage a budget are probably the most useful skills I picked up in college even though the certificate gets me paid.

She’s not wrong. Except for on policy almost all of the time.

Are you trolling or nah?

They’re easily the worst of the MCU set, which is a shame because Thor is a great character.

The two previous Thor movies have been BAD. Like, don’t pay for a rental and don’t waste two hours if it pops up on Netflix bad and it’s unfortunate because I’m a fan of Thor.

Original ideas are not overrated; original ideas are impossible.

No, this is wrong. Lust for life isn’t an amazingly original phrasing to begin with and as is almost always the case with art another artist could independently arrive at the same conclusion... we can’t close off the world to artists because another artist has already given their thoughts on forests or love or…
