As a white person who fully accepts that they are privileged and who understands what you’re saying, but who disagrees with you nonetheless, I’m going to lay out why (and I’m going to get a bit sarcastic with it):

“White privilege” is already an extremely polite phrase.

White people aren’t being called “spoiled…

I’m not convinced that there’s any way to frame it that will get right-leaning white people to look at the role race plays in our society and the way that our system rewards white people and penalizes non-white people. There are people that don’t want to hear it and are too entrenched in their beliefs. You can…

Yes, you are right, we should teach white people about their privilege with love and cookies so they don’t feel bad.

By sticking their fingers in their ears, saying LALALALALA, and never mentioning it, I assume.

And let’s see how the gun nuts react to their “good guy with a gun” being yet again revealed to be more a dipshit with a gun.

She’ll pick it up again after the divorce

I’m the mom of an 8th grade girl. The trailer is an accurate depiction of the CONSTANT posting on snapchat. It drives me insane. I know nobody cares about the popular girls because they’re popular, and they have no problems, and it’s so easy to default to the stereotype of the pretty well-dressed girls on their phone…

Teens on TV are always so witty and sharp and self aware... like they are always smarter and more together than the parents.

Does she spend half the movie hiding in her room? Does she roll her eyes whenever she gets asked to do the dishes? Does she tell you that she loves you and then 10 minutes later slams her bedroom door on you because you asked how her day at school went?

As opposed to her new duties of having to go inaugurate all sorts of fascinating events like cheese festivals and shake hands with all and sundry til her dying day? I’d say she’s much more blinded by love than bored with trying lipstick and blush.

This is tough, but I think you just need to be really sincere.

To be honest, when someone’s passing you can’t leave out anything because you will be filled with regret of not being there... or not saying enough.

Acclaimed BBC mini-series....that lasted 6 episodes vs Dr Who...44 episodes over 3 years.

I hope you will concede that the world is very different today than it was when Pat Boone and the powers that be made *their* version of Little Richard’s song, and that it is undeniably easier for artist of color to make money off their work.

That’s not true at all.

Bruno is more Filipino than Puerto Rican. Our indigenous peoples, the Aeta, Ifugao, Tumadok, etc. are Black descendants of a more ancient people. After centuries of colonization, our indigenous peoples retreated to the mountains and others assimilated into life with the colonizers of the time (like the Chinese,…

You understand that using “SJW” as an insult kind of is a pretty clear indication that the person uttering it has a malformed view of things. It is a term that stems from the alt right, used by the alt right and edgelord shitposts, and you should know that if you are going to throw it around.

Seeing a black woman hate on Bruno Mars while using a Japanese handle that means “I love you” should be a textbook example of the word irony.

I mean, there are a couple arguments to be made here.

“When he was finished doing his 20-years-long impression of an R&B singer, he became a “Man of the Woods” and distanced himself from black music like it was Janet Jackson’s left titty.”

Using SJW as a pejorative is fucked up
