thank you for saying this. it always makes my skin crawl when "feminists" talk down to black people for believing in christianity. i may not be part of or believe in the church anymore but that doesn't mean all these white people need to come down and start laughing at us for believing in the bible. they really dont…

Thank you. As usual, white America puts the gay agenda front and center over any concerns of people of color and abuses black people specifically in the process.

Thank you. "Awareness" is stupid. Everyone knows what cancer is by now! Christ. Slacktivism at it's best.

So, everyone? Can we agree that we're all aware of cancer as a general concept? Maybe even that we're all aware of certain types of it, like breast cancer?

Oh dear sister, I must advise you to back away. Someone who has such a completely uninformed understanding of racialization is not worth your energy. They are too far gone. And it's hurting my head.

I dunno. The amount of western nation slut walks that have been organized in the last few years speaks to the policing of women's dress codes - and sexual autonomy- in western nations.

"An actual true story." It is a highly personal, sensationalist account with a VERY biased view on what happened back then. Just sayin'...

For someone who keeps dismissing others' racism concerns with "You. Haven't. Seen. The. Show", it's interesting that you then defend the show, saying "I don't think this show was racist or offensive at all. I would have watched it."

Except that this show was not initiating a critical forum for discussing the status of women in Saudi cultures. Rather, it was a western production exhibiting white privilege by presenting blanket cultural stereotypes.

While it's fine to think critically about the status of women in all cultures, it is important not to perpetuate racist or xenophobic stereotypes.

No one's saying we can't have a discussion about Saudi Arabian culture or that art can't frame that debate. However, in order to talk about the culture, it must be represented accurately. Here, the culture would be little more than an amalgamation of a bunch of stereotypes, which isn't sufficient to form a real debate.

This story has bugged me from the beginning, for exactly this reason: The odd belief that strangers to an incident know it... based on Craigslist and Jezebel commentary. Know it to such a degree of certainty that high outrage and triumphant moral superiority are demanded (with gifs).

People are assholes to each other every single second of every single day. Thousands of far more egregious episodes than this have occurred in the time it took to write this sentence. Don't pretend that just because it involves Craigslist it's somehow significant, interesting, or anything other than asinine and petty.

Most of these stories turn out to be fake. The gay lad from blackpool who was beaten up for being gay, was even mentioned on George Takei twitter.. yeah he admitted he faked it. The gay server who got a homophobic tip.. yeah she faked it. These are just two that spring to mind from recent news.

Two very different phenomena. Remember that the boundaries between different African nations are generally colonial in nature.

It's funny that the conspiracy theory with the least amount of belief (Blacks purposefully infected with HIV) a)has to do with people of color but yet b) has the most likelihood to be true based on blacks being purposefully infected with a disease before.

You know, I can see why certain groups of people would believe that the medical establishment doesn't have their best wishes in mind (let's think about the Tuskegee syphilis experiment, being sterilized without your consent for minorities, being experimented on, etc.). I would trust doctors if they were actually…

I can't believe how openly people talk like this about Asian men. Penis shaming in general is treated like an acceptable form of body shaming, even by users here.

I am Egyptian too and this is not true. It's absolutely cultural and is practiced by some Copts as well.

Muslim here. Actually not true at all. The majority opinion of scholars worldwide is that FGM is haram (prohibited). It goes against every Islamic tradition outlined in the Quran and Sunnah (Prophetic tradition) because of its barbarity and the unnecessary degradation and pain inflicted on young woman. It is entirely…
