Guys, I am starting to think telling white people to own their whiteness and be defined by it was a really bad idea.

We told everyone their race defines them and that they should own and be defined by their race. In a country that is over 60% white turns out that was a bad idea.

Sorry, but when it comes to race, or any identity for that matter, it is everyone’s business. One’s identity determines a lot about how they live and how you treat them. The rest of society needs to know what you are. Yes you need to show your papers. 

How does the editorial staff at Jez let a white woman write this? Dear God.

It’s pretty crazy that in 2017 we still think it is OK for white people to marry POC. This illustrates why perfectly.

Deadspin, and many others, have a huge race problem when it comes to stories like this. Writers, like Burke and Ley especially, rush to post condemning articles of black men (athletes in these cases since this is a sports site) with joyful exhuberance. Now they are also attacking anyone who dares say a young black man…

Not sure why Jez writers are so desperate to attach things to genders. Men do this, women do that. Not only is it incredibly offensive to tie actions to genders, and thus defining what makes someone a certain gender, it’s totally unnecessary in examples like this. This rant could easily been achieved without trying to…

I am really starting to regret calling white guys with dreadlocks racist.

With Republicans cheating (gerrymandering/closing voting places/etc) you cant win elections without these morons. So, are they crazy loons? Absolutely. Can we win by calling them racist, xenophobic, sexists, rubes? I wish, but no. So what do we do?

Sorry but Republicans have stacked the deck. With gerrymandering, closing polling places in areas with Democratic voters, and about to stock the SCOTUS with judges who will let them get away with even more you aren’t going to win elections without white straight people. Meanwhile we liberals, I am as guilty as anyone,…

I think it’s more correct to say we have open the door to white people to share in that pain, and, unfortunately, let them agree it is on pain with that of POC. Jezebel does it all the time with white women, it jsut needs to be opened to include white men. We have to stop calling everyone racist or sexists or…

Yes, so please stop equating the struggle of white women with POC. White women are the reason we have Trump.

Modern feminism at it’s finest. Trying to equate the struggle of white women with that of people of color. Shameful.

Can we stop including LGBTQ+ people among the “terrified” with people who Trump has actually threatened? While it looks like Trump will take us backward on the SCOTUS and we will possibly lose the gay marriage victory, at worst that goes back to the states and in some states some Americans will lose that right. While…

Yes, you are. Again blame white women, not people who voted for HRC. Pretty telling you are blaming a black man who by all accounts voted for Hillary when the reason she loss is white women, aka Jezebel readers.

Blame white women, not black men. Thanks.

I am confused as Madeleine Davies said only men were voting symbolically/independently.

White female liberals need to stop acting like Hillary Clinton is the wokest, greatest politician of all time. Is she qualified for the job? Absolutely. Is she significantly a better choice than the alternative? Infinitely so. Yes white people will do fine under Hillary. And yes POC are better off than they would be…

She should write for Jezebel.

Not at all. They should be educated by their fellow people of color. Not whites who were privileged enough to live in communities that educated them on such matters and talk down to them like this artcile does.
