Lena Dunham has proven time and again she’s a racist piece of shit and I am by no means compelled to give her the benefit of the doubt. She doesn’t deserve it.

I understand that you have experience with this and I hear you. I’m also sensitive to people referring to hair that is not straight or textured as ‘pubes’ or ‘brillo pads” Even if it’s about a white person. People with textured or tightly coiled hair have had a hard time in our society obsessed with Eurocentric ideals

This is true in the court of law, not in the court of public opinion. So I believe women when they accuse men until it is proven otherwise and I have a right to do so, as a black woman why in the hell should I give men the benefit of the doubt? No. Just No.

I am very critical of Jezebel when it comes to intersectional feminism.

Because his hair is getting textured? As a black person with textured tightly coiled hair, your comment is suspect. Many people don’t have straight hair, thank God there is diverting hair types no?

Because we believe women until it’s proven we shouldn’t in specific cases and we have no proof this is a false accusation.

Or maybe the victim is a black woman and Lena Dunham in peak white feminist style is deciding not to believe her cause feminism is for white women? Lena Dunham is a racist piece of shit garbage person.

I’ve never been to NYC and certainly want to go. It’s one of the great cities of the world. But the picture for the headline of this article? Makes it look like a capitalist hellscape. But maybe that’s cause I’m just a small town Carribean Canadian girl.

White supremacy is not sustainable.

The reason why this argument is made is because white people have written characters that are people of colour. And it was awful, they did it badly with little or no respect to the POC they are representing. So like many things, ya done fucked up and now we don’t trust you. If you can do it well and with respect

Then Southeast Asians should speak up if they want to be represented. Black people have always and will always resist white supremacy. Join us.

You are not black and go fuck yourself. White supremacy is not sustainable and will end.

WTF? The herd blackness? Ok lemme tell you something. I agree Professor McGee is truly exceptional. That’s great. However to ask the victimized, dehumanized and oppressed to be exeptional and to be compassionate to thier oppressors, to carry the burden of proving thier humanity is asking too much. Some can do this and

Take care of yourself. To be well is to resist. I hear what you are saying. I also believe as people of colour we should centre our own well being before white people’s feelings. Sometimes is too much to have to explain to someone your own humanity and that’s ok. If you can do it great, if it’s too much, do what you

Except this was not an apology, he makes very bad excuses for his behaviour and DOESN’T ACTUALLY APOLOGIZE.

Did we read the same thing? He made excuses - Adult men should know it’s not cool to ask any of your work colleagues if you can wank in front of them, especially at work. Oh he just didn’t know. What the fuck. He says it was consensual, this of course is arguable. And he didn’t say Im sorry, what the fuck. Then he

Ya the defensiveness over this CK situation on Jezebel comments is fucking awful. You’re right about them showing thier asses. Pop white feminisms at its worst. The writers here are great and have been great, comments section well, I’m gonna die of not surprised.

Again Hachi, doing the Lord’s work. Amen!

Imagine living next to Rand fucking Paul and he’s mowing his lawn at 5 am. You’ve had a late night. You were hoping for another hour and a half of sleep. He pulls this shit all the time, year after year. You haven’t had your coffee yet. You just can’t take it anymore...

Oh hey, I’ve haven’t read this for a while and you’re still here, doing the Lord’s work. Amen!
