So this is me trying to be helpful, but I am making many assumptions here so forgive me if I get it wrong. There is nothing wrong with acknowledging that a neighborhood is high-crime and therefore should be avoided. The problem is when you assume a neighborhood with many black residents is high-crime because black…

Trump looks like a political cartoonist drew him, thought the caricature was too exaggerated, crumpled the sketch into a ball and threw it away. Later, under deadline, he said “Eh, fuck it, good enough” fished the sketch out of the wastebasket, smoothed it out with his hands and sent it in.

OT: From a few minutes ago...

I’ve come to the conclusion that Bernie is just the progressive version of the new-old white guy in the oval office. They both operate on populism, and soundbites. He just recycles progressive talking points without any original ideas. His supporters treat him like some kind of left-wing messiah with all the answers.…

I’m a compassionate person. I’m very heartbroken over her passing, especially since it was cancer.

Except what happens when the criminals get out? After they have been dehumanised and tortured, will they really be able to just fit back into society? It seems unlikely.

Pardon my info dump.

Murdering murderers to show murder is bad.

You think he’s hot.

I can’t wait til we stop talking about whether we like or dislike particular women. Have disdain for a person’s viewpoints or actions. Geek out on their body of work or co-sign on their cool ass musings, but fuck all this “I want to be her bestie!” and “DIE ANNE/SCARLETT/GWYNETH DIE!” Stop with all that shit. It’s…

Sex and gender are two different things. Every culture and society has had different genders- and not all are binary. Only some gender roles were created specifically for oppression. You’re excused.

There are many ways in which Dolezal is different from a transgender person, but one way is that transgenderism is a two-way street. Someone ID’d as male at birth can realize themselves as a woman and vice versa. The same is not true across races. Ijeoma Oluo would never “pass” as a white woman. In this way,…

Gender is an expression of how you identify yourself. Race is how the white colonizing patriarchy has categorized people. You don’t get to recategorize yourself, that’s not how it works. The categories were created to form a system of oppression, and while plenty of people have re-claimed them as a proud source of…

I don’t think she is being accused of being a white supremacist, so much as she is a product of institutionalized white supremacy, whether she is aware of it or not. I think the back story you’ve referenced here actually reenforces that assertion.

So, here’s my attempt to answer. It depends on how you define “social construct.” It’s a social construct in the sense that the distinction is more social than biological, however, that distinction does not, and has never, rested with the individual but with society. People in US have a hard time grasping this because…

I’m not saying race doesn’t have a massive impact on everyone’s lives. Maybe rachel’s saying that but I’m not. And if she’s saying transitioning her race is solving any kind of problem, then yeah thats a problem too. But what I don’t understand is, since race is indisputably a social construct, why can’t someone…

I’ve been using this lately. Cheap as hell, makes my lashes look pretty incredible, and the mascara by itself sans fibers is also pretty good. Legit replaced my $$ Dior mascara.

Get your messaging in order, friend. You can’t lead with “the area is heavily conservative” and conclude with “the people to blame here are lazy liberals” who can’t be bothered to actually vote. It’s one or the other, dummy.

It won’t matter if they do - there were eight republicans, meaning a LOT more republicans showed up to vote that time around. The area is heavily conservative; the Dems are simply outnumbered there. The only reason it became this close is because it was one D vs eight watered-down R’s. Consider this election lost.
