I’ve got a lot of useless junk in my head, and always thought if I had the time, I’d go on Jeopardy. What held me back was two fears:

Really. Highest rate incarcerated. Highest high school drop out rate and the list can go on. Fuck you. And fuck The Root for this far left bullshit article

So much of the impediment to liberation is:

Cishet black men and poor white people especially suffer with the duality of being oppressed and being privileged #atthesamedamntime. Privilege has become a loaded term in that regard, it doesn’t mean your life is without oppression, without struggle, without need to fight... It means frankly, you COULD have it much…

This response seems like an attempt to show how enlightened, to the plight of [everyone] you are, and as such, a bit hypocritical.

Sorry, but this is stupid. This whole oppressor-oppressed view of the world is stupid whether it’s white oppressor and black victim or black male oppressor and black female victim. You’re turning innocent people into enemies.

Ugh. Stop hating white people. I promise that will help. A huge population of whites have nothing against blacks at all, but if you hate them all then it doesn’t matter.

This is like watching a piece of wood shave off pieces of itself until it ceases to exist, other than being a bunch of tiny fucking splinters.

This is symptomatic of the fatal flaw in liberalism and why most of the country is controlled by bigoted racist people. We want to create this coalition of oppressed minorities who can lift each other up and understand the pain of discrimination, but the problem is that gay people are racist, black people hate gay…

TOTES Agree

First y’all sell out to a corporation now you’re publishing trash articles like this. Pathetic.

So what is the current standings in the Oppression Olympics this week? Am I still winning (or losing? not sure which) as a Straight White Male? Does my mental illnesses effect my standing?

Wouldn’t blacks who dont commit crimes / not prey on people, be the white people of black people? You know, because they act like white/normal people?

Is this a joke?

I’m a woman who considers herself a feminist in the purest sense of the word and I agree with you, Manwich. As a TRUE feminist, this article actually really pissed me off. This writer and the other women who agree with its general premise need to DO THE SELF WORK to get to the bottom of why they personally consent to…

I’m starting to think you’re right. They’re openly refusing to make any kind of counter argument

I legitimately want to talk about this. From what I gathered in the article, the real problem here is that women are still convinced that they don’t have the power to say “no”. That’s a real issue and you’re ignoring it for some reason.

I am a 69 year old feminist and I completely agree with you. I was thinking the same things as I was reading this. We as women need to take responsibility for our actions and not keep using culture as an excuse. Even more importantly we need to stop trivializing rape. The more women claim to feel raped in a situation…

For what it’s worth, I feel ya. Why take any responsibility for our actions when we can just jump on the ‘blame men’ bandwagon? Everything is mens fault.

Given the article she’s agreeing with, I’m not so sure she’s really a rape survivor. You can’t argue with stupid
