Can you read? Where exactly did I state transpeople never lied to protect themselves? I’m stating that when all shit hits the fan and the truth is out, even transpeople acknowledge there are major differences between being born a woman/man and then transitioning. It is a painful process. Rachel did not go through a…

Sunando Sen was on the receiving end of mental illness and racism. He was ambiguously brown and therefore a muslim and the woman who pushed him in front of the train was batshit crazy. Had he survived, he would not have necessarily been able to speak on the day-to-day realties facing muslims. He would have gained an…

Transgender women don’t generally speak about their experiences as women. They speak about their experiences as transgender women and the struggles they have gone through to get acceptance. If she was talking about her experiences being a white woman advocating for racial equality, I am sure no one would have an…

Okay, I need clarification on this point. According to her old classmates at Howard U, she was still identifying as white when she attended the school and taught there. I know that Howard gives out minority scholarships to white/other non-black students. I was under the impression she got a full scholarship based on…

That is because when white women have worn cornrows, bantu knots, braids, they immediately claim credit for starting a new trend. Where all the cornrows you want, but give credit where it is due. Cosmo just recently attributed bantu knots to Marc Jacobs. Its exhausting.

Plenty of white women within the field of Africana Studies. Maybe more than black women if you looked globally.

Ha! 2B. Love it.

That was beautiful. LOL

Maybe devoid of any understanding of how it works for privileged white women, but TolkienNegro seems pretty well versed in how it works for everyone else. Her getting taking down the station is a none issues in the grand scheme of things. There is no such thing as trickle down social justice. A rich white girl kicking…

But that is precisely what people are questioning. The idea that rich, white women seeking legal action is going to have some kind of trickle down effect on the lives of poor people and minorities. It wont. Their case will ensure that rich, white people continue to be treated better than everyone else. They are well…

Yaass! What is it with that baggy-tight thing?

His DNA was found at the murder scene on a cig butt. It was an vacant lot, so its not like he could have dropped it another time while taking a casual stroll. Pretty damning evidence me thinks.

Oh please, just stop! The DR has such pervasive and ingrained racism it's laughable that you would even type that sentence. Approach any Dominican in NYC and mistake them for being black and see the fireworks fly. The only way to fix these issues is to acknowledge there is a problem and boy, it there a problem. If an…

According to a lot of Israelis...no!

I think passive-aggression is progress. LOL

That meme will never get old!

Not being hypocritical, you were and are being dramatic. I have met plenty of kids who have never been hit in their life who act out aggressively, so corporal punishment is not the only thing that can lead to the issues you listed. My issue with your comment is you seem to be conflating an occasional spank with more…

Oh stop with the dramatics all ready. I personally, think hitting is an ineffective and potentially damaging parenting tool, but stop acting like a tap in the bottom and whooping from a belt is the same thing. The original poster seems to have been exaggerating for comedic effect, a point she later clarified, I doubt…

Oh stop with the dramatics all ready. I personally, think hitting is an ineffective and potentially damaging parenting tool, but stop acting like a tap in the bottom and whooping from a belt is the same thing.
