As an individual, I don’t hope very often. 9 months in afghanistan and years of working first response have removed most of jack’s optimism.

-you know how people criticized obama for not calling terrorist radical Islamic terrorist? I thought we had to name things to defeat them. So the right should call these people what they are.

I’m so pleased everyone is getting how hilarious those tiki torches are. These fools can’t even make their own torches.

You misunderstand. The secessionists took away their own citizenship BY SECEDING from the country they were (past tense) citizens of.

Those that fought for the Confederacy probably included former US soldiers, yeah. Buuuuut they deserted and were not US soldiers while fucking shooting at US soldiers. Or stabbing them. Or spying on them and passing on the information to the traitors that led them.

The whole fucking “Confederates were US Soldiers thing” is SO FUCKING BULLSHIT- NO THEY WEREN’T YOU DIPSHIT THEY FOUGHT THE US ARMY.

No one “took that away from them” - they took it away from themselves. Because that is literally what secession means. Similarly, the American Founding Fathers are not considered British. Neither are the leaders of the Irish Separatist movement. The Estonians who started the Singing Revolution aren’t Soviets. The…

And cameras. These nitwits really have a compulsion for loser causes. Nazis and confederates have so much in common. Nasty, nasty people could not defend their cruelty and lost, lost, lost. Get over it losers. Time to go home.

If every fucking white supremacist in this country dropped dead tomorrow, the world would immediately be a better place.

Again I ask, white progressives of Jezebel, when are you going to start having hard conversations with your community? Because if white people TRULY talked about racism with each other and looked within, would we be here?

I’m a Southerner, born and bred, and these people are fucking appalling. The Confederates were not American soldiers and every last one of the leaders of the secessionist movement were traitors.

They’re tired of the bullshit, the political correctness, using our tax dollars to bring in people from Syria and Somalia, all this other stuff with homosexuality.

You are petty and bored enough to leave that novel-length comment, tho.

“Anthropology INHERENTLY [emphasis mine] takes a view point that non-white non-European cultures are subjects to be studied.”

Anthropology takes the view that all cultures are subjects to be studied. It is literally the study of cultures.

Just to be clear, you’re dismissing an entire field of science as racist, based on an undergraduate class that you didn’t even complete?

“There are ways to experience a know another’s culture”

As someone with a degree in anthropology, let me tell you, you have a complete misunderstanding of the science. Once upon a time, yes, anthropology was a field dominated by white men and women who spent their time proving by looking at other cultures how superior theirs was. But that has changed. Every single class I…

Do you really think the entire field of anthropology is racist?
