"..any time I hear the wind blow, it will whisper the name Edna..."

In my personal Faludi vs Working Girl throwdown, Faludi lost on the first throw. Faludi completely missed (or ignored?) Katharine's classism — in my view, because Faludi identified much more with the ambitious career woman who went to an Ivy League school than the scrappy secretary with her night school diploma. That…

Wait, what? Thatcher's rise to power and maintenance thereof was a pivotal moment in the history of gender equality. Is that not obvious?

That mostly pisses me off because of the distinction it implies between hillbillies and criminals.

Ahahaha. Did I accuse of you of racism? Actually, nope, I didn't. I am also not black, I'm white as fuck. And what you did? Telling someone that only the things you listed are racism? Noooope. That is some charming whitesplaining. Of course, I;m assuming you're white...because I really can't see a person of color…

Are you a cat that someone tossed on top of a keyboard? Everything you say sound like one of those word cloud refrigerator magnets.

This Bay Area-bred, now-living-in-LA California native thanks you, good sir.

That's funny, because where I come from, they DO kill people for their beliefs all of the damned time. It doesn't matter whether it was a private party. It was still ridiculously racist. In case you didn't know it, you don't have to be at a political convention in order to be racist. Your projection is really amusing…

I would love to think that I would make some kind of crazy pyramid costume, but I'm pretty lazy, so I think I'd just pour a cup of water over the person in the KKK outfit and claim that I am supposed to be Victoria Falls. Repeat until forcibly removed from party and call the evening a success.

You know what, I'm siding with the Mosque. It's a place for worship and while Rihanna is covered up that is simply not enough. Not every place is her personal backdrop for a photoshoot. Some places are too holy and it's disrespectful and distracting for those who are there with the intention of prayer.

This idiot doesn't even realize that his point defeats itself. If Australia has no history of blackface, then they do, in fact, have to deal with the cultural baggage of the American tradition that they've decided to glom onto for funsies. You can't borrow the tradition from another culture and then say, "but we…

Yeah, say that to the Aboriginal folks that have been routinely discriminated against since ever. Aren't they Black or....?

Um. So if you dress up as a member of the KKK for funsies and you enjoy doing that, hate to break it to you but that ain't a costume. Congrats, you are a member of the Klan as far as I'm concerned.

This is like the weirdest white savior thing I've read in a while. I mean, obviously they aren't educated until they can speak English, right?

Or meth. That's pretty popular in this state.

I like that she has the Scout Finch bowl-cut.
