“If we’re only fighting for own causes and only being allies when minorities are nice about it, we are still supporting inequality, just with us on top instead”

We have to acknowledge that we are part of a demographic that was willing to let Trump become president. Whether that’s because we agreed with his message, wanted to hasten a revolution, were tired of the whole system, or were too apathetic to care, it’s what we, as a people did. Personally, you may not have, but the…

I can answer that:

Don’t tell the oppressed person they don’t get to be angry.

I wish they were acting brand new but sadly this is not the case. The readers of this site are very much of a certain school of thought that is antagonistic toward POC if said POC chooses not to toe the line of their white progressive world view. This is fairly par for the course.

Holy shit people are acting BRAND NEW today. Thank you for your comments, keeping me sane.

Hmm. I can’t imagine what white people did, historically, that might have been the very genesis for all those problems. Oh well, I’m sure it’ll come to me one of these days.

Dude, “allies” need to check their egos. You spend so much time shouting down people who have more than earned the right to be skeptical of your intentions. Instead of breathlessly decrying, “But not ME! I’m GOOD!” why not listen, keep working, and stop getting butthurt about other people’s extremely justifiable pain.

The people getting their knickers in a twist in responding to you seem to be, uh, pretty much proving your point about the whole thing. +1

Not All Woke People!

Do you think she made this video because she is now aware of institutional racism and wants to encourage her white fans to think about it or do you think she’s performing her “wokeness” as a way to focus attention on her? As many times as PoC have been screwed over by fair-weather allies, I’m not surprised when people…

Simmer down BrunerBrunerToo. No one is talking about “rejecting” anyone. It’s great that fear has forced you all to finally give a damn about people darker shades than you (although I’m willing to bet dollars to doughnuts you people don’t actually care, but lets not confuse the argument). Welcome. Only thing is, you…

It really doesn’t for Americans either, at least since the’70s. This is an illusion spread by Republicans to engender support for their politicking. The whole “Make America Great Again” slogan was a dogwhistle for happier, wholesomer times (1950's or 1980's) which were neither happy nor wholesome for non-white and…

Well Miss Smarty-Pants maybe you can tell us how she was supposed to get rid of the fly she swallowed?

She is a very troubled adult woman. 30-year-olds are not children and have to take responsibility for the shit they do.

Good advice considering I know almost NO French. Thanks!

Considering how other sites and social media’s (Twitter, Reddit etc.) have done what has amounted to jack shit in curbing harassment and hate speech, the fact that we have the power to do that ourselves is really amazing and unique, but of course power is meaningless unless it’s actually exercised.

but have become even more of a heartless & cold bitch so I dismiss about 75% of the comments that come my way.

Trolling since election shot through the roof. If there are paid protesters, those people are it and someone is paying them to be on kinja.

Wow... do you think she was just chomping at the bit to share her hateful thoughts when she was here? She never really stood out to me so I don’t remember anything quite this gross. Describing a potentially lifesaving medical procedure as surgical mutilation? Implying that clitoral orgasms are an essential part of…
