If more communication courses especially, and courses in general at all levels, incorporated discussions of racism maybe Ed would have reconsidered his word choice. Seriously, what is up with the people who do not recognize why racism/sexism/homophobia/ableism/xenophobia/transphobia and other areas of discrimination…

I could watch this every day. This makes me want to get a tablet just so I can bookmark it and shove it in the face of every white person who ever complains about "reverse racism" or feeling like they are being bullied for being white.

I can quite easily see how discussions on systematic racism would fit within an intro communications course, that it is at a community college should have no bearing on the matter unless you think community colleges should or do have lower standards for discourse. People learning to communicate their ideas through…

Not only was it only 5 years ago, but Boondocks did an episode about it (satirizing the people who ran to Kelly's defense), and I'm pretty sure hipsters should be watching Boondocks.

Seriously, I saw that post below this one and just threw my hand up with indignation.

Heck yeah!

I have a huge problem with MSNBC same as CNN and Fox. However, I agree mostly with your statement because Harris-Perry and Maddow aren't billed as delivering anything other than opinion and analysis, whereas Fox tries to pass off its garbage as news the "lamestream" liberal media doesn't want you to see. MSNBC makes a…

As a fat pescetarian and former vegetarian, I must say that I had a dream of being the anti-Peta when I was still mostly vegan. Just me and my 260lbs+ of black body going around in a bikini and countering fat-shaming/racist/sexist PETA demonstrations. Maybe getting together a whole posse of fat vegetarian/vegan WOC to…

These stories make me believe that many hair codes like this are just excuses for race, sexuality, and gender presentation policing. They want to force everyone into their conservative idea of what proper, clean-cut white men and women should look like. And if you do not fit, they will try to beat you until you do.…

Well that was condescending. I would think my response was clear, one can teach a son anything, but rather or not they accepted those teachings and added on to them through learning about the opinions and expressions of other black feminists would be largely up to them, and once they began to interact with the outside…

I do not consider it being born into the movement because it is something learned, not something born into. It is not conveyed simply by being born. Furthermore, I did not question you on being able to point out racism within white feminism and white feminists spaces. I did question how you made statements on what…

I think one of the biggest problems I have with this rhetoric is that it centralizes men in the feminist movement, with regards to how women become feminists or involved in the movement, and reinforces the idea of the Strong Black Woman. In addition, it suggests that MOC can be born into the struggle, without…

I posted something similar regarding the choice of labels above. Basically, those Christians I knew, myself included at the time, who believed the creation story was metaphorical or that God simply put things in motion, did not label ourselves creationists. Same thing with Christian biological anthropology and biology…

There seems to be disagreement on various terms in the comments. For instance, when I was a Christian, I mostly did not consider myself a creationist because it was conflated almost entirely with young-earth creationists. Also, I think the confusion I have with non-YEC or Intelligent Design Christians using the term…

POC in this thread have already stated one thing that is needed, it was stated in the first comment and stated throughout. Sometimes we need separate spaces, and that is not the same as institutionally entrenched segregation in the U.S. Sometimes we need separate safe spaces as POC, WOC, and LGBTQ POC. There is a…

Seriously, that was a great directional choice. The way they walk through coupled with the music builds so much excitement it is hard to not be as excited as those in the scene. I may watch this video more during my lunch hour. And I could not think of any better wish. It is so weird, I would never have thought of…

Ahhhhhh!!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you! I now have to see this movie. That just completely made my day. I am squeeing so much right now! And using so many exclamation points because....well, that video.

This show is all kinds of awesome and me thinks I need a rewaatch.

For me at least, I think I run close to letting overarching societal narratives about my weight keep me from recognizing the reality that people are attracted to people of varying sizes and appearances. It is a tough hurdle to broach. At a size 26, I am somewhat confused when smaller guys hit on me, and even fail to…

FEMEN: Wow, this is terrible. What should we do?
