The sentiment is fine. White supremacy and white privilege obviously exist. However, being lectured about privilege by a millionaire, white woman who has a decent chance at being the most powerful person on earth is FUCKING INSANE. This election is driving me crazy.

I’m over crochetty old white people talking shit about Beyoncé and Cam Newton this morning. Dear fellow white people:

“I’m very sorry (1) for how I expressed myself. It was never meant to diminish the injustice done to African American artists or to any other people that struggle for equal opportunities and rights(2), on the contrary. (3) All I was trying to do is to address the issues of inequality of opportunity in the industry…

Also, the conviction rate for accused rapists is abysmally low. Heck, I am not even sure someone like Cosby will get convicted.

And what makes you think that she didn’t do that and got laughed off or told that since she was a porn actress, she either was “asking for it” or “is not rape because it is her job to fuck people”?

At this point I will see anything if there’s a chance Dave “the better” Franco is in it (imdb says he’s in it).

I really wish that were Father’s canonical fate. Kylo’s an emo dick, but he’s nowhere near the self-important malevolence of Father.

That attitude has to ignore reality and the inequities that exist not only for performers of color, but for stories to be told about non-white at all. So it simply isn’t possible for it to be the same.

Thank you. Well said.

FYI, this is patronizing. This is the political equivalent to ‘why do Black people riot in their own neighborhoods’? Or ‘Why aren’t these Black people able to make sound judgements about their future?’ A

Misogyny is the cause of itself. Religion is just an excuse.

So many people who eschew religion or dismiss people of faith, bow daily at the altar of their own supposed superiority and light candles to Reason, while being completely unable to prove their way is any better than anyone else’s.

They don’t need evidence. Religions work for their followers. And that’s the point.

There’s a difference between adding to a discussion of morality by questioning religion versus writing over and over and OVER again that religion is evil and pointless, belief in a higher power shows mental deficiency, and presenting one’s atheism as superior in every way.

There’s a difference between dismissing religion because you don’t believe in god or a higher being. And dismissing A religion because some of its adherents don’t live up to that religions higher standard.

Corgill has taught for over 20 years and is nationally certified. The school hired her for second grade and then moved her to the fifth (not at her request). According to Corgill, they told her she would have to pay for certification.

Mass Effect 2 - first time I beat the game I got the best ending, so second time through I was cocky and determined to do every single thing, no matter how long it took. Turns out if you dawdle after [spoiler] that bad things happen.
