Your points are valid, but will you be boycotting Netflix for Mo’nique and wage inequities? Are you boycotting NFL football? What are you doing on behalf of the lack of Asian representation in film? Have you started a letter writing campaign against Catherine Zeta Jones for playing (another) Latina - even though she’s…

Your post made me sad. Let’s recap: A woman grabbed your arm when she thought you were in danger, but because she was white - she is now spouting off about it - because she obviously has white savior syndrome - as all white people do. Your imagination is just that - and your story says more about you than about her.…

There is a problem when people “define their own racism.” Hence, Trump thinks his most recent “shithole” comments aren’t racist and his base doesn’t either. The rest of us know better.

How odd that this has been turned into a discussion about Clapton’s talent. Who cares. Clapton’s racist comments are not about his talent - they are about his character. He is a racist. Just like Trump. Trump’s “shithole” comment was not about immigration -it was about his racism. Can racist people change? Probably…

I’m not a doctor- I just play one on TV - but my guess is there’s a stroke malingering in there somewhere.

They need to get rid of the sign. Better yet - close down completely. Maybe they can put their whole restaurant in a museum as an example of current racist norms and white privilege.

Please know that what happened to you is not your fault. I feel for the men and boys who are molested and raped. Our society is so caught up in a culture of machismo and misogyny that male victims are shamed at an alarming rate. Look at the high school boys who are molested by female teachers - how many comments are…

Thank you for sharing this! This happens to me a lot. Not your exact circumstance of course - but similar enough to make the hairs on my arms raise in unity. I always look back and think of what I should have said. Why was I so polite? I smile too much as a defense. My nick name is “Smiley” which angers me - but after…

I remember when Tiger was doing the Nike ads about how - in the past - he was banned from playing golf at certain golf courses because of the color of his skin. The idea was to show how far we’ve come because now a black man was the greatest golfer in the world. The world! It was an amazing moment - until a reporter…

Lena Dunham is entitled and narcissistic. She got good press and threw the feminist mantle around her shoulders like a super hero cape. Unfortunately, she doesn’t have empathy or enough intellect to go outside her own personal sphere. I gave her more leeway when she was younger. But enough already. This will burn her…

“The face of the conservative movement” - nailed it!

No surprise here - except the perps lost their jobs. Paid fire departments everywhere have fostered a culture of racism and misogyny since their inception. FDNY made a payout to the Vulcan Society for over 95 million dollars. (95 million!!!) Chicago discriminated against black female firefighters and kept them out.…

I am pretty sure my racist, homophobic, Trump supporting sister in law and her family belong to that (first) church. They are truly the most hateful folks I know. They fear everything different from them. They fear black, brown, immigrant, Muslim, Catholic and Jew. But mostly they fear death. With such a “loving god”…

My friend worked for Henrico Fire Department. He told me that they would not allow an all black crew to ride the engines because the community would “lose their trust” in the department. Another training instructor told me that his Captain trained their black cadet “after hours” because the white firefighters wouldn’t…

There are hundreds of thousands of rape kits that have never been tested across the United States. False claims of rape are generally given a percentage of 3%. Even if you applied 10% to - let’s say - 100,000 rape kits - that’s still 90,000 “legitimate” rapes that have gone unpunished.

There was a horrifically high standard for these two to meet as funny, feminist and relevant. It is not a job I would want. That being said, objectifying black men and defending your mysogynistic writers are never a good look.
