I didn’t quite understand your second sentence, but I can definitely see that your singular dating experience shaped your overall opinion of an entire race of women. :/

I’m just really genuinely curious as to what exactly feminists of colour would like to see white women do.

Yeah I was really struggling. I kept having to pause and reformulate what I was saying, as not to sound antagonistic. It’s weird to self police like that especially when you are pretty much just stating facts. For example I used the “Not This White Woman” shirt as an example of tone deaf allyship that really only…

I did go to the march in LA, but I was on the fence about going the whole week leading up to it. My coworkers who are all safety pin wearing white neoliberals asked me why I was considering not going, and I was completely honest with them. I basically had to explain that I don’t feel like I’m in solidarity with white…

If you didn’t stand up to her and correct her you are part of the problem.

The response to that piece was really shocking to me, but I guess the commenters just proved Kara’s point about women who identify as feminists but cannot see beyond the narrow scope of their white privilege, so unwilling to listen when a woman of color speaks about her experience. It’s so fucking depressing.

I’ve tried explaining this to some people. When your group of people is in a similar plight as mine, but you choose to pointedly not mention my group I no longer feel like we’re working towards the same goal.

Solid interview.

You can also point out how flawed the EC is. If we are talking only two candidates (which for most practical reasons it is), Trump could have theoretically won the Presidency with only 21.5% or about 30 million of the total ~137 total votes. This is of course a hypothetical where Trump wins the least populous states…

*sigh*

That we are being told by people who spent the last 8 years questioning Obama’s ‘legitimacy’ and accusing Hilary of running pizza pedophile rings to ‘respect the office’ and ‘get over it, we won’ is perhaps the most bizarre aspect of this whole thing.

Thank you Mr. Spicer for your service. You have done an incredible service for this country by delivering a clear, unambiguous message: it’s working. If there’s one thing to take away from this “press conference” it’s that everything we’re doing, everything we are achieving together is genuinely and legitimately…

vanilla ones.

It’s a good thing Obama didn’t have to with negative and demoralizing comments all the time.

Two things:
“I think it’s important to understand that whether it’s the president himself, the vice president, the senior team, the volunteers, or the people who are out there just in america that voted for him that walked the streets or put up a sign, that to constantly be told no no no and to watch him go yes yes yes…

Send Dippin’ Dots!

Here’s the thing.

I’m sure I’m in the minority here but what made Trump’s remarks so vile is that he made them in front of the Memorial Wall at the CIA. Those stars represent operatives killed in the line of duty who can’t be honored by name because of the nature of their activities.

The alternative fact of the matter is that he won 95% of the total votes and his approval rating is higher than an adorable kitty hiding in a box of packing peanuts

At the risk of outing myself and handle to people who know me and my dog, I’ll share a puppy pic. Because we ALL deserve nice things, especially today.
