If Islam makes people become crazy violent killers, how come most people who subscribe to Islam are not? It's almost as if their stated ideology is just a justification for their violence, and not a cause, and even that they're just a group of ultra-violent killers who want control over a territory.* Weird - I know.
#CrimingWhileWhite is the jam. I say this as a black man. You're off-base here. Way off.
What? Why? At the very least it's getting the people who post on it to recognize and confront their own privilege. I fail to see why that's a bad thing.
But it IS about white people. You can't discuss racism without discussing how it benefits the privileged class. And that is EXACTLY what #CWW is about.
Absolutely. #CrimingWhileWhite is tremendously important, and a vital part of the discussion.
100% agreed
Why not? White voices matter just as much in exploring and explaining how harmful racism is. They're an important part of the story, particularly if they confront and explain their privilege. That's the POINT. A black discussion of racism is only half the story.
I disagree. You can't really understand #LivingWhileBlack unless you see #CrimingWhileWhite. The whole point is to set up a contrast and get people to think about their privilege. Plus, it helps dispell the myth that the problem with minorities is that they're too uppity to the police. Clearly, if white people can…
I disagree. I felt it is tremendously important precisely because it helps highlight the difference in treatment. Moreover, for the white people who post on this hashtag, it has the effect of making <i>them</i> think directly about their own privilege. Think about it - it's an entire movement of people talking…
Holy shit, dude. People can get mad about their favourite entertainment too. Goddamn.
Yo, she's straight up being an unapologetic asshole. For real.
What?!? Are you FUCKING kidding there? YOU put that shit in the motherfucking title. Even IF you had nothing to do with it being "extra large print," that's still on YOU, sucker. Besides - "CATCH THE FUCK UP"? How about you go fuck yourself, kindly? Some people watch the show on Netflix, some watch it DVR, some…
You motherfucker. Just put a big-ass major fucking spoiler IN THE GODDAMN FUCKING TITLE on the goddamn main page. FUCK you.
I feel that if they can name a scholarship after notorious and brutally racist, imperialist colonizer Cecil Rhodes, Spelman can have an endowment named after a rapist.
"he is being held accountable... due to his race."
What the fuck is wrong with you people with this bullshit about the "black media" giving Cosby a pass. First of all, like the white media didn't give Polanski a pass for a long-ass time? Woody Allen? Jimmy Savile? Fucking Sean Penn? Second of all, it's not like the white media hasn't ALSO been complicit in…
The people who link him to MLK - please never introduce me to them. They are the worst. It's also pretty clear that this is NOT a white-media-getting-the-black-celebrity thing, because R. Kelly is ALSO a sexual predator, and his career is still going strong. The mental gymnastics people are going through to explain…
Woah, woah, woah. BLACK media? Like white media don't do the same kind of shit?
I like them too. They seem like weirdos, but they're teenagers. At least they're creative and eccentric/kind of funny, not rampaging douchebags.
