It’s a racist troll. It’s busy today.

Your chosen quoted passage literally says “yes, black people were abused. But that’s no excuse for them not to go ahead and do it, because the end result justifies the means.”

I just hate this attitude that some people have that we should be conciliatory towards bigots. Like if we just kept our pain to ourselves, then the Nazis won’t get riled up. Like, fuck that. This coworker also echoed Trump’s argument from yesterday and said well, if we take down Robert E Lee’s statue, then who next?…

Seriously. Forced sexual assault and mutilation, totally state-sanctioned because of the color of the women’s skin. I feel sick.

Replace every monument or portrait of this man with representations of the women he abused and victimized. They suffered so medical science could advance and they should be recognized for their contribution. He deserves not one more day of recognition.

Oh god, just reading about the women being probed while all on fours and held down while being butchered without anesthesia made me clench my vaginal muscles and bite down on my lip to keep myself from crying out. Goddamn.

They tend to be simple, so expect lots of “Where’s the White Panther movie?”

Poorly. But y’know what? Black Panther is going to make all the money. Not to play to unpleasant anti-Semitic stereotypes but I’m making Birdman hands thinking about when I have a chance in Hollywood (I want to write) to allow black men and women the chance to make movies that reflect their stories so I can make so…

My personal test for schooling someone is that I send them the famous “Unpacking the Privilege Knapsack” article, https://nationalseedproject.org/white-privilege-unpacking-the-invisible-knapsack. If they do anything but thank me for opening their blind-ass eyes and make a concerted effort to be better? The friendship…

“I wonder how they will deal with the Black Panther movie.”

Santa Claus, too. Megyn Kelly nearly had a stroke defending his pure whiteness.

I wonder how they will deal with the Black Panther movie.

As someone who was Jewish I always felt like I wasn’t exactly white. I always felt like an other. When I was older my Papa said that it was important to remember Jews were only white as long as it was beneficial to white people.

Housing segregation is something many of ‘em don’t have a problem with, yet when it was presented in Luke Cage, it was suddenly an issue to show the people in a black neighborhood?

Yep, Redlining still exists. The war on drugs still exists. The criminal justice system discriminates. Job opportunities are less. The financial industry discriminates. The education system discriminates.

I had to school someone on this LAST MONTH. To their credit, they actually thanked me for the info and asked for some sources to follow up on it.

My Mom and Dad had 5 kids together (3 boys/2 girls). I can’t remember a specific “the talk”. It was basically a life of stories of what it was like for them to to grow up Black in rural Alabama. An unincorporated former”company town”/iron workcamp called Woodward, Al. Racism ran rampant, and the Klan were regular…

You do realise this will not entail a significant change in lifestyle for many of the people participating…

Well, they’ve been doing it with their kids for how long? Having all sorts of versions “the talk”.

Forced or coerced sterilization is not just abhorrent, it’s considered a Crime Against Humanity by the International Criminal Court Statute. Which, interestingly enough, the US signed and then almost immediately withdrew from.
