The last 40 years have thoroughly ingrained in American society that racists are Bad People. Even the racists accept it! So guys like this think, “I’m not a bad person, therefore I’m not a racist.” For god’s sake, even Richard Spencer doesn’t think of himself as a “racist.”

You can find plenty of the D in porn. So go get your daily recommended dose of that D!

He’s garbage and needs to be locked up twenty years ago. And anyone defending him is garbage, and those radio hosts who joke about and with him are garbage and all should be ashamed.

That is quintessential white trouble-making, like that one asshole who makes every effort to use the word “niggardly” and is shocked when people react badly. Or the idiot who sports a swastika but swears she’s trying to reclaim it and goes on about its’ pre-Nazi origins. It’s that insidious “plausible deniability”

I’m trying to understand what people mean by it. Say a white girl is sexually abused from childhood. Does she still have a privileged upbringing because of her whiteness? I agree, of course, that some people live very privileged lives.... but it does seem ignorant to apply the term as a sweeping generalization

Whaaaaat??? How did I not know that. She is even more the worst now that I have connected these two people in my brain.

I was more pissed at their stupid idea in the first place. Newborns are SO FREAKING BORING during the first month. You’re stressed at trying to keep them alive and freaking exhausted more than you’ve ever been in your whole freaking life. And then you want to take away the only outlet you may have to not go completely

I agree with this completely. What’s amazing to me is that so many people decry the removal of a statue as “erasure.” No, removing someones name, giving them the name of the slave master, and jettisoning identity—that’s erasure. I’m pretty sure history books (especially in Alabama, where I’m from, and especially if

Hold the fuck up. Steven Mnuchin’s new shiksa wife is the angel-haired Zambian war lady??? Why didn’t I know that?

Great comment & great article. Bombay your take is spot on. If that worthless pos wasnt a tremendous ball player I have serious doubts about whether or not he would have such privilege. He has no other discernible talent other than the 1 he shares with our cartoon-character president, shooting his big ass mouth off

Well, thinking like an overprivileged person that has no need to step outside of their sanctuary of ignorance, I would say it’s not that they should learn the meaning of the word, but acknowledging how good they have it(thus, privilege)and embracing compassion for others while recognizing inequality. There are loud

Man, the word “privilege” is the ultimate dog whistle for the greys.

I can’t imagine them finishing 4 years at any college, tbh.

Please. Like these girls are smart enough to have the scores to get into HBCU.

Yeah, HBCUs also do a pretty good job of trying to reach out and give scholarships to all the white people who want to go. A pretty good friend of mine got a full ride to an HBCU to hit on all the chicks (mission accomplished).

They would never ever attend an HBCU. Four years of being around black folk smarter than them?

I have no idea if he passed. I considered the class a wash and spent as little time as possible thinking about it. My paper for that class was on the vocabulary of judicial decisions in rape cases and reading so many of them kept me in a depression all semester. The professor handled it beautifully by simply

It’s like the MRA asshole who signed up for a whole semester of Feminist Legal Theory in law school just to fuck with those us who were taking the class to learn something. I’m still mad at that guy.

When I think of Mr. Gregory I always think of a story I heard Thom Hartmann tell on his show. The gist of the story was about the American tendency to try to shove its style of government down the throat of other countries by force. Mr. Gregory’s response was “if you have somthing great, you don’t have to shove it

White lady: We don’t serve colored people here.
