The city should be sued, the police force should be sued, each individual terrorist in this picture should be sued. But like the article points out, even after Mr. Harris wins, he’ll carry this unspeakable trauma with him for the rest of his life - how to help with that? What a mean, disgusting, terrible lesson to…

Exactly. The book/concept was created by a black man, which shows just how deep internalized racism can be. I went on GoodReads to see what the reviews were like, and all these white people were like, “THIS IS A GREAT BOOK.” Of course it is TO YOU. The only review I could tell was written by a POC was a woman from his…

Also the clear implication that “people” are white, Christian, and moneyed. Everyone else is sub-human, but we should still be nice to them.

Nah. One of the central tenets of “gracism” is that it should be a “Christian alternative” to Affirmative Action. Take a look at this...who do you think the “greeds of the few” are? Like if you’re just nice to minorities, that should be enough. We don’t need those pesky laws and regulations aimed at equity. Hard…

That’s how I was interpreting it. It does have a bit of a manifest destiny feel to it, but honestly that might be the only way to approach the subject with some people.

I got pretty into it after a few episodes and really liked it by the end —they made the fat brown girl a hero and not a buffoon!— but I did give up on OITNB after season two. I’ll usually stream pretty much every woman-led show on Netflix even if I don’t like it just so the powers that be see how women and…

Well, if the other person was trans and still had a working reproductive system it could work.

It was not until I read your comment that I went back and looked at the headline which, yes, makes it fairly clear we weren’t dealing with a gay affair here :)

Oh Jesus Christ, it was the GOP that wanted us to talk about climate change instead of global warming because they thought it sounded less threatening. Fuck.

In fairness to you (and the rest of us confused by this story), I don’t know of a whole lot of women who go by their initials. So I was honestly hoping for a sordid gay affair in Trumpland.

I kept thinking that was the name of a Deadspin writer, but apparently that’s a different screwed up person with the same initials.

See you have it flipped. The colonialism is something that has been attached to Zionism recently. Mine is the pure, correct, original definition of Zionism. What you (and many others) consider Zionism is a bastardization of the term, by groups in power who seek to retain that power. I am trying to bring Zionism back…

It’s okay, a lot of people aren’t aware of the historical context that Zionism comes from. And I am more than happy to explain! In the late 19th century the term Zionism was coined by a man named Theodore Herzl, an Austrian journalist. Modern Zionism emerged in the late 19th century in Europe as a national revival…

Sheesh, you sure are disingenuous.

It seems pretty obvious to me that what QueenVictoriasCorsetKatana is saying is that one can disavow the current reality of a nation and still support the principles and ideas that the nation theoretically stands for. Saying that I’m a “PROUD AMERICAN” doesn’t mean I think that the nation isn’t currently a dumpster…

Jewish feminists are required to apologize for Israel? Are black American and Muslim feminists required to denounce the wrongs done by their people in other countries? If not then neither do Jews

there are a lot of very legitimate reasons not to like her, you mention them, but then gloss over them. She can be kind of awful but is also a victim of a right wing smear campaign at the same time, they aren’t always mutually exclusive. But saying mainstream news pointing out her occasional awfulness means it’s being…

If statistics bear true and 1 in 6 American women is the victim of attempted or completed rape, then arguably, it’s realism to include it at least some of the time.

I think there is something wrong with me, I scrolled back up and thought “Well, he’s the only attractive one in the bunch.”

He was also a Soldier in the First Infantry Division. I used to be a Big Red One Soldier myself, and I checked to see if he was listed under our “notable alumni.” He wasn’t.
