The reason it does is simple. It is implying that she has to be black to do anything of significance in the NAACP. It does not nor it should not. Clearly she is an effective civl rights advocate or she would not have reached the position she had. There is nothing wrong with identifying with black culture. But actually…

No matter how much or little he lifted her skirt or why or with what intention, it would still have been totally unacceptable to yell at her when she expressed discomfort and then fire her for speaking to HR. That allegation is the main issue in the suit, not the skirt-raising itself.

Looks like he’s getting another one anyway.

When I was in 1st grade, a girl kept trying to pull my uniform skirt up to show the boys my underwear. She tried like 5 or 6 times, ignoring me telling her to stop it, until I punched her in the face. I got in trouble. When my mother was called up to school to discuss this…

YUP, that was right were I went, “Clearly, you’ve learned from your behavior here.”

I’ve had lawsuits in the past and cannot deal with another one.

Wait I don’t understand.. are you don’t want to pay $600 to drape this beige fabric around yourself? Or $1,000 to wear this bath mat made of what I can only assume is discarded synthetic wigs as a vest?

Because dissent like this is often used to silence or minimize the voices of those who do have a problem. Let’s use another example. How about the team owner of the Redskins using some Native Americans to vouch for the team’s name being a-ok despite many NA’s expressing displeasure and advocating for a change. Or…

You won’t get through to these people.

Ya know, I could almost see her point IF Rachel wasn’t notably shitty to Tim Wise and that Latina student (and who knows how many others) under the authority of her “blackness”. And all of those claims about being the victim of hate crimes. Every new layer peeled away from her ridiculous onion is more “oh come on!”…

she mocked one of the Mowery twins for her deal to promote pregnancy tests too. she’s a bitch.

Sorry, I find your argument and Keri’s problematic because at its core it boils down to settling for less or being grateful for any crumb that may benefit the black American collective because we would be just that more pitiful and worse without it. It’s a similar sort of attitude that shames women into staying in bad…

Taylor Swift does for feminism what JAWS did for swimming.

I don't really get the appeal. After reading so much on here about how funny and feminist she is I tried to watch her show but it kinda sucked.

So Mitt’s binders finally came in handy?

But if she truly believed the things she claimed, I doubt she would have frozen up and walked away when a reporter called her out. And I doubt she would have told her brother not to “blow her cover.”

White people love nothing better than to keep up a narrative of people of color as “other”.

Nope, she was aware. She told her brother (who she passed off as her son), not to reveal that she was a white woman.

Nope. That’s still Taylor Swift. Complete with fart - you know that Jez post is coming.

Glad I’m not alone in my dislike.

People just don’t understand how hard it is to be a boring white person. Our struggle is great.
