Sincerely dumb. People are so used to Democrats just lying down and taking abuse they can’t handle those who won’t.  SAD.

Lol you sweet, summer child.

That’s a weird way to spell L.C.’s

But, in a technical sense, he is being altruistic.  If an action can make someone else happy he does that action because he knows providing happiness for others gets points, it’s no different than giving back because helping people makes you happy.  The altruism is in the deed.  Tahani didn’t really care how helpful…

Except not even Marx was that reductive.  He wrote about the American Civil War and how slavery had to be understood as wholly distinct from the class struggles of Europe.

You’re a bagel truther. 

Or you yourself don’t know what your words mean

It’s not a strawman you just think your “clear eyed” analysis is somehow more objectively true than my emotional needs. You don’t consider how your plan is empty because racists won’t fix racism and progressive policy isn’t automatically anti-racist. You also refuse to see the harm of your approach to people of color.…

I’m a victim of racism and as someone in white spaces made to feel crazy or doubt myself because no one else would call racism racism it had an effect. Sometimes validating the experiences of those who are being dismissed has value too. And how is your way improving things? On the chance they’ll vote for a progressive…

One of the key elements of colorblind racism is the ability to deny its existence. So calling racist people racist prevents the aspect of racism meant to make poc’s look irrational. By refusing to call racism racism you support racism making you a racist. 

No I’m not. 

Because racism will only be fixed with explicit race based solutions but if you can only talk in race neutral terms you aren’t fixing racism and inequalities will persist. Basically, you’re ok because it’ll make life better for white progressives.

Preach it!  Seriously, white people are not the only fucking parties to consider in this conversation.  Also, sometimes when you point out a child has done something wrong they cry... that is never a reason not to point it out.  Why is the logic different for an adult or a mass of adults?  WTF?

Except this was an election and there are no take backs so their racism is going to hurt people and the people hurt by their racism shouldn’t have to make them feel at ease before pointing it out.  That’s an abusive relationship and you’re encouraging one writ large.  Fuck that and fuck no.

I think you assume proponent operate in good faith when they do not. Too many arguments have been made and too much data is available. They know Voter ID laws are an impediment to participation, that is the point. Not concern over voter fraud, we don’t have any because there is a lack of tangible benefit to repeated…

She won the election. How would this article change if you had to write it under the perspective that she is the rightful winner of the election but a decades long project to protect white supremacy gifted the election to the Republicans?

Yea KOTD and Grind Time oh and Don’t Flop hosted a number of white battlers.  Even URL has had a few but I’m guessing the film is counting on most of the audience not really knowing that or knowing how URL is different from KOTD.

That isn’t what I said.  I said Hip Hop is structured in such a way to only support one top tier female rapper.  It isn’t about them supporting each other and I don’t know why you think I was preaching solidarity instead of the false scarcity of their positions.

There’s an issue that one female rapper could fill the vacuum of another, that we pit these women against each other. There are structural sexist concerns. However, Nicki took advantage of them when it suited her. She also hamstrung herself by attaching various gimmicks to her output. She has talent but her music was…

This seems like a lot of so what. Our capitalist economy makes us all complicit, it just depends on what evil you’re going to support. Walmart, Target, Home Depot, whatever. It’s inescapable and that’s why focus on individual level consumer choices is self-defeating.
