Sure. No one is saying black people (to take your example) who hate all white people and believe they are inferior/deserving of bad things are to be commended. That is not a desirable opinion to have, although it might be an understandable one in certain circumstances (like, say, USA in the 1860s). I think most…

I disagree wholeheartedly, but in any case there are a lot of unjust "laws" AND laws out there (eg banning gay marriage). Progressives think outside and beyond laws if necessary.

uh, when I make points of any kind I don't resort to slurs. But then again, it's because I'm not a bigot. I mean, if someone called me a fucking dirty homophobe, and I said, what would you know about it, faggot? I'd pretty much be proving THEIR point.

:( waaaaah #notallprepschoolwhiteboys

Thanks for proving this young woman's point. Not too long after feeling uncomfortable that a lot of whites turn to spouting racist trash and showing what's just beneath the surface.

institutionalize racism is but one type of racism, which (all types of racism) always involves a power differential. Syntax can be unclear! But my example clearly described an individual acting in opposition to an institution, so your misunderstanding may be a bit disingenuous.

The number of small-minded people disagreeing with you boggles the mind. I think 90% are trolls and the other 10% are pedants... how to convince those? I'm wondering if t makes sense to say, fine. Fuck you, define racism however you want. But it's the difference between stealing some napkins from a restaurant you…

In the real world, gay marriage isn't legal, either. Progressive ideas progress beyond the state of things happening on the ground.

HAHAHAHAHA the dictionary is the law.

You got a lot of big words but you're wrong.

Wrong.

Nope. Not true. Institutionalized racism is but one type of racism which ALWAYS requires a power differential. It's like saying a prisoner liking one guard better than another for an arbitrary reason is perpetuating injustice. Nope.

I brag about my kiddos all the time, but I never hear my 7th grade students using "gay" as an insult any more (it's amazing how much it's changed even in the last few years). Sometimes I will hear a boy be like, "yooo that's gay!" and I'll start to go off on him and he'll be like, "no, I don't mean like that — boys…

The 13 year old in me would like to point out that there's nothing liking saying "no to homos" while holding a giant spiral cock wand...

something a lot of white people need!

Sorry that black guy in your film class turned you down (because he realized you are a racist with an ugly heart).

People who get eaten by sharks are such idiots, too. Oh, and those assholes who get struck by lightning? I mean, it's never happened to me! And if it could happen to anyone, we'd have millions of shark and lightning deaths instead if just a handful!

I hear you, but I think 1) as a matter of form, it's not cool to dismiss discussions between people of a marginalized group about how they self-identify as too complicated (I imagine discussions in the 60s and 70s going: "why can't we call you people coloreds any more? Isn't it enough we let you use our water…

Somehow, despite having read basically everything you've written and being one of your biggest fans, I'm spacing on what the preferred language is. My instinct and how I usually speak is "female/male assigned at birth" but I feel like maybe you've written and are hinting here that that doesn't fit entirely either?…

Strapless thongs. Like a weird semicircular snap bracelet for your pussy. You're welcome (? :( ?)
