Okay now that I’ve calmed down a little bit since yesterday. I know everybody is loving Cersei but the only thing that I really agree with her doing was giving Septa Unella to the Mountain. Tywin told her that she wasn’t as smart as she thought and he was correct. She has no allies now and Jamie is looking at her like…

I took that look as Sansa being afraid of what Littlefinger will get up to, since I don’t think a King in the North fits in with his mental vision board.

“Calm down. If you are concerned about civil rights then you celebrate all the wins, not just the ones that concern people that look like you.”

I found the white feminist!! Missing the point, getting defensive over nothing, and brushing aside something relevant to POC (and presumably silencing one) all in one fell…

This is one of the most tone deaf and condescending responses I’ve ever read on this site. And that’s saying a lot.

I scrolled down and had the exact same thought. Like... what? Did you think Jez wasn’t going to post about it and that you really needed to hijack the convo? Can you not?!

I can’t see how people don’t understand what is wrong with hijacking a post on this important speech.

The OP is calm. And right. Save that White Feminism condescension for another time.

For someone who prides himself on being the troll patrol, model male ally of Jez, you’re acting quite like a Justin with that response.

THISSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

...

He listened to that whole speech and somehow came away with “we are one race”. That is...a unique skill.

Yeah, I’m not worried either. The GOT world’s most powerful death cult didn’t just stumble across a Stark and figure “eh, what the hell, guess we’ll train ‘er then.” They’ve got an agenda here that’s WAY more involved then making a little cash killing actresses. I do not actually believe for a second they ever really…

I was pissed. Sansa should be Queen in the North not Jon.

Or improve your self esteem, or make you respect authority, or give you ANY confidence at all in the school system....

You left the apostrophe out of kid’s, you fucking idiot.

I went to a conference at Harvard with full grown adults and more than half the room didn’t know who Coates is. And the speaker who was slamming his reparations essay didn’t know the name of Coates’ best selling book! None of those people would have spelled his name correctly. I’m impressed as hell that a high school…

And if that answer was given in a classroom? Should she have googled it before penning in her test answer?

Nope. I’ve been a teacher, my mom is a teacher, as are two of my best friends. You don’t mock your students or hold them in this kind of disregard. Sometimes they piss you off for being entitled or rude, and you deal with that. But to make fun of them for not being smart enough? That’s like your doctor mocking you for…

As an adult I could give 2 shits what doctors say about me because I can leave and choose another doctor. Nor am I required by law to see them everyday. Blowing off steam is fine, wanting to exert physical harm on child means you should seriously reevaluate your life. You are the adult act like one.

no, teachers aren’t saints, and neither are kids. but as a former teacher, i am appalled that you think if it would’ve been ok had i EVER said any of these things aloud, or in writing.
