Nostalgia sure is a weird thing. I mainly remember Blockbuster for its shitty late fees, its shittier selection, its policy of editing certain movies for content, and the fact that it killed off most independent video stores. Frankly I was glad when it folded; it was an all-too-rare bit of corporate karma. But I guess…

Terms like “neo-Marxist” or “cultural marxism” means absolutely nothing. They serve as catchall terms, bundling up every possible expression of left leaning political and social ideas into a neat little package, which they then present as some sort of totalitarian menace ready to rip society to shreds. Imagine a cross…

You are right. As a white person, I have the privilege to pretend that race is not a big deal. Yet I have also been raised to believe (not just by family, not just by church, not just by school, not just by media) that white is “regular”: the default. And that is in me, deep. Despite practical segregation (the way…

I disagree. I think this “shitting on men and white women is totally super okay and even morally right thing” has gone to far. But you have to recognize reality and that similar behaviors have drastically different impacts - for example Trump ranting about how journalists are the enemy of the people at a rally with…

This is what I think of when I hear (fellow) white people whine about “Reverse Racism”:

Thank you for demonstrating my point so eloquently.

Just like most other nationalities, Hispanics are still be under the PoC designation (just like Italians were 100 years ago). Maybe in 50 years Hispanics will lose the PoC designation and will also be “white”.

That’s what racists say, frankly.

I read the whole article waiting for the part where NY Times fired her. So what exactly did they fuck up by just giving some innocuous response to this silliness?

It’s so obvious schools out, the trolls and pathetic white man babies are out in force!

Fuck, that’s kind of brilliant.

As a white dude I have no problem proclaiming fuckwhitepeople.

Speaking as an Old White Guy.... White men ARE bullshit - far, far too often.

I’m so lost.

I tried for that job, and I tried HARD, but I can’t fault the times for hiring Sarah Jeong, she’s just too good. And clearly she’s not going to be intimidated by a bunch of trolls. 

Those that went after Sarah Jeong on twitter seem to have one thing in common...

Racism is a tool of oppression. You can’t use it to oppress the oppressing class. Essentially, you can’t be racist against a class that already uses their race to justify their continued place at the top of the social power dynamic, because you can’t wield your race as a weapon to maintain your stature while…

Yeah, Jesus wtf is that? I can imagine it was genuinely hard for some of these men to speak about this exactly because of the eye-rolling jerk-off-motion response of some people, I just assumed those people would be dudebros. 

about which I am really trying to muster some freaking empathy.
