Because when something affects you personally, you have a right to defend and support yourself. I think hunger in Africa is terrible, but I think racism touches every day of my life. Also, you're either ignorant or an asshole. I hope you're ignorant.

Slavery was great for the free market, bro.

Just glancing at just how frequently the comments here alone refer NOT AT ALL to any point she's actually made goes to show that there is an audience problem here.

Oh, well damn. My bad on the Bitch thing. BitchPunt, is that an official Ru Paul bitch nomenclature? If not, best report to re-education camp #437.

Then I'll take what you say at face value and apologize. This thread started and pretty much ran on "but HE DIDN'T" as a concept. I think you picked the wrong thread for a moderate stance. And yeah, that'd be cool, but a lot of things would be. Give it time?

Like...supporting the ACLU or marriage equality in Washington state?

Thank you. I will never copy and paste again.

Well, you did give me a convenient thread, ignorant slurs, a weak and unsupported opinion that insults those with a legitimate concern about LGBT/progressive representation in hip hop, and remains entirely ignorant of context or self-awareness.

As well as the so-called activists who spout anger and generalize all white people/American Christians as the "enemy", like social justice is a football game.

P.S.: I'm so glad you think that victimhood is a carnival prize or a badge of honor. This is why "internet justice" is considered a joke. It's a point of status and identity, rather than a vehicle for addressing the issues to give our anger meaning. Thus? It's pointless.

To clarify, I found your argument so basically incorrect that I wished to point out the glaring hole in it. "Yeah, that one, but WHO ELSE?" isn't a defense in any real form.

I'm black, you self-admitted angry white person. It's good to see your own privilege hasn't been "Checked", as the tumblr kids put it. I kid, I kid. I am a tumblr kid, too.

Like Mary Lambert, who sings the hook in Same Love?

...yeah, that's reasonable. And "Crackermore" isn't a disgusting little nickname, either.

So you agree with what the ACLU did, but don't have the conviction to accept it?

No.

Tracie? No.

Weeeeeell...I think "witch hunt" is definitely on the list of options. I think the game's shaping up to be an "Oh, Shit!" shuffle. Thedas built one too many zerglings and now everything is falling apart all at once. Because as the Quarians taught us, Bioware doesn't like societies with a clear sense of the bigger…

The Inquisition, based on teasers so far, is on neither side of the Templar Civil War. So you can expect to deal with mages (and templars) on one end and templars (and templars) on the other. So...um. I hope you like fighting templars?
