I think one of the problems I had with my apush teacher is that while covering the topic of minstrel shows, all he said was “it was white people dressing up as stereotypes of black people for jokes.” And then he laughed about it, which made the rest of the class feel like it was funny and there was no more racism today so we can laugh at it too. And I’m sure Billy Crystal on the...

Used to de-humanize, belittle and make fun of those that are “Less than”
Originally done by white people for white people

Welp! That’s great! Gonna rant now! AS USUAL WHAT ELSE IS NEW
Before he was 8, things were fine and dandy and he’s a happy adorable snotrag!
He isin’t treated any differently and if he is, he’s too young to notice at the time.
He’s 10. He’s talented at creating animation and draws like a pro.
Early primary school; things are fine but he feels a little confused that he’s one...
I just don’t want to write my article for journalism. Fuck this class, I don’t care about it. My editor doesn’t fucking tell me she’s cutting my article, I have to find out on my own when I open the newspaper that day, and then she doesn’t actually expect me to take any sort of real opinion. I’m supposed to state it lightly and then get the other side of the...
I’m so tired of thinking about things. I want to stop being offended by rape jokes and sexist/racist/homophobic comments. I want to stop being so conscious of all the shitty things in the world. It just takes so much energy. I’m always drained, I could fall asleep at any time of the day all the time. Why can’t I just enjoy things? Nobody who doesn’t already see the problems...

paradiscacorbasi:
A lot of would be white allies freak out when people of color start using hostile language. This is nothing new.
But it occurs to me the why is something I’d never realized before.
I’ve said before People of Color are angry and they have every right to be angry.
But when a Person of Privilege is on the receiving end of that anger, they don’t...

Thoughts on Viola's loss
zebablah:
First of all - YES. Meryl Streep is a great actress. Let’s set that straight.
But her long, varied career has been made possible because she is a blonde, white, reasonably attractive woman who is afforded the access, the luxury of having the pick of the litter when it comes to meaty roles. That, coupled with her obvious talent, has built up her career.
The tragedy of Viola Davis...

I really sincerely hope that this is just Billy Crystal’s way of making sure that he never ever ever has to host the Oscars again, and not a sign of that Hollywood screenwriters out there really think is funny.

dear people,
Stop hating on the Biebs It isn’t 2011/2010 Calling him a lesbian/etc only makes you look homophobic/misogynistic. (I am referring to the people who call him feminine as if it’s a bad thing.)
Xxoo
I agree. It’s obnoxious.
I just don’t like his music or his personality.

How about the fact that he’s pro-life,...
