That’s attempted murder, isn’t it? I mean...what am I missing?

Don’t forget the lack of attention for the white teen who forcefully sodomized a disabled black teen and got almost no punishment because the judge claimed he didn’t deserve any.

The incident in which two black teenagers taunted and assaulted a disabled white teen was all over every national media outlet for several days — and rightly so. I’m fairly certain they were held criminally responsible too.

You don’t “accidentally” push an 8-year-old off a table with a rope around his neck.

Sharon was pretty spot on. Kim’s rebuttal was weak - I’m sure I could Google and find somewhere where one of Kim’s former faces (or sister’s) are proclaiming themselves feminists. But I can’t be bothered. I already replied to this post. It was enough.

I had my new hire explain he had “n-word privlige” because he grew with a lot of black kids.

I have a dream...that one day my children will surf the Kinja universe and not be judged by the color of their comments, but by the content of their opinions.

All Grays Matter

I don’t see Kinja account colours.

I don’t know why it’s so hard to conceive that if you’re actually one of the “good ones” then you know this isn’t ABOUT YOU. If you’re truly working on breaking down systemic oppression, then keep doing you. If you’re mad someone thinks you’re holding up racist systems, your hurt feelings (which, again, are not ABOUT…

You people will do and say and believe anything to absolve yourselves of the harm yours have wreaked on the world, won’t you? Feel free to travel to an alternate reality where Europeans didn’t enforce their will upon the entire rest of the world and spout this drivel all you like; but you’d do well, as long as you…

I don’t even know why I bothered to read and comment over there. F*ck those people at this point.

I used to like Jez but everyone is so defensive and think because they’ve aligned themselves with certain causes, then they’re automatically a good person and can’t be called out on every problematic them they do. I like coming over here because of the writers and commentators.

Uhhh, why are people getting triggered if they’re not racists? Btw, you can’t tell people you’re not racists when your actions empowers racists and you’re seeking to silence the message. I swear some people didn’t get enough attention growing up and are running around trying to make everything about them.

Was that the same thread that was like “This is such a bad thing that happened, but let’s talk about how The Root is mean to white people”?

lol It was. They’re over there holding each others hands while bemoaning that a black trans woman didn’t think about their white ass feelings.

No! Don’t do it!

So once again it appears that white people have no interest in trying to improve relations between themselves & people of color. I mean you don’t like Kaepernick silently protesting, you don’t like marches, FaceBook posts seem to send you all into fits of rage that would make Michael Myers blush & yet somehow you…

I believe the “yes all white people” is referring to the systematic privilege that benefits all white people, and the violence that upholds it can thus be attributed—even indirectly—to all white people. In the same way that #notallmen is wrong, it’s wrong to claim #notallwhitepeople here. However, her initial wording…

I mean, that’s kind of true. However much of the racism we see in the world today is a product of white colonialism. Preference for lighter skinned people in Asia, Africa, Central and Southern America have direct ties to the influence of European influences as they colonized those places.
