So...she's being called a "model" now? I thought she was a prostitute? No?

It actually doesn't, though. The colleges often refer to themselves as four-year colleges, because the majority of undergrad degrees (not all) are designed to be completed in 4 years, assuming that the student goes straight through with the ability to take a full load of courses every semester. That, of course,…
I have never once, at any point and time, in real life or on the internet said that I hate any race of people. You clearly did not understand that when I was writing "I" that it was a hypothetical I, not Sheababylv I. But go ahead and believe what you want if it furthers your "logical" evidence of how racism is just…
I know what you're doing, and it's been done before. Denying the widespread existence of white privilege and racism and trying to chalk every inequity up to class (except, of course, for crazies in white sheets) is not new. I don't need to be a "copypasta". I didn't take a class, I live a life.
Oh, don't forget those rare golden opportunities to play the Sassy Black Chick or Project Woman. Sadly, even those meaty, coveted roles don't come around for darker women very often.
Perhaps it would be more accurate to say that part of religious freedom is the freedom to have no religious belief.
I soooo agree with your post overall. One quibble, though: Atheism isn't a belief. It's simply lack of belief in a god or gods. I hate to be nitpicky, but the amount of people who call atheism a religion kind of scares me so I thought I would make the point.
You've taken courses in the matter??? Lol - well alrighty then. That settles it.
Oh sure. There is no such thing as systemic racism in our post-racial society. Got it.
Clearly, you enjoy being condescending and unnecessarily insulting. Sure...you really think that English is not my first language. Uh-huh. If you want to be an atheist who passionately defends the bible, feel free. You can be that, and the obvious asshole that you are, all at the same time. Ain't freedom grand?
Oh, and this is from someone who actually has a "unique" name, not the phantom La-a and Orangejello names of racist fantasy. Me saying that the La-a name, along with others, has been debunked, is not rude. If you can't handle people disagreeing with you, whether factually or simply by having a difference of opinion,…
I've always thought that the ideal model's body is basically that of a tall, skinny, 15 year old boy with breasts. To have hips - not even hips that are wider than average, but just regular-sizes hips on a fit body - should not be "unfashionable". And I don't think there is anything wrong with pointing out that a…
It is a mistake to pretend that classism is all there is. What you are not understanding (and I really do understand why) is that anyone is free to hate anyone else. I wouldn't recommend it, but it happens. The daily, casual racism that you may have the privilege to not see doesn't even require active hate.
Excuse me, but just assuming that WOC who at times feel excluded by the feminist movement are "misinformed" is insulting and part of the problem. "[G]et specific about your complaints or take a seat." "I've read all of that on WOC blogs and it goes unchallenged as if we need hate stirred up between white feminists…
Started to explain the racism behind all the over-the-top vitriol aimed at the president to a white, male coworker who is British. Stopped after the first three "but they're not saying anything about his race" and "but people didn't like Clinton either" comments.
It doesn't have to be a white person. Surely you know that other minorities are also taught to view Black people with suspicion and fear?
Well, think of it this way: we are fertile for a long, long time. One woman may have had an abortion at age 14 because she was too young, another may have had one at age 20 because of a rape in college, another at age 27 because the condom broke with her boyfriend, and another at age 46 because what she thought was…
Listen: The discussion about what "ratchet" and "ghetto" mean cannot be had while ignoring the racial part of those terms. Seriously. Some of the crap that people are saying on this site is blatantly racist and being passed off as supposed innocence. Please understand that no matter how mainstream it has become to…
I'm a straight woman, and two things annoy me:
