An amazing excerpt from the book.
You should just click the link and read.
I think the reason I saw this linked on a mainstream site isn’t the writing, but rather, that there’s probably a significant number of white folks who are nodding at the point of self hate, but ignoring WHAT IS CREATING the self hate to begin with.
White violence. White amnesia. White projection. ...

Pennsylvania State University was fined $60 million as college sports’ governing body penalized the school for its handling of a child sex-abuse case involving assistant coach Jerry Sandusky. It avoided the stiffest punishment, a shutdown of the football program that was at the center of the scandal.
The school also was stripped of all its wins...

This is something that happened to a friend of mine in her own words.
“So, on Friday night my friend and I were at her house and wanted to get out and do something for the evening. We brainstormed ideas and she brought up the idea of seeing a show at the Laugh Factory. I’d never been, I thought it sounded fun, so we went. We saw that Dane Cook, along some other names we didn’t...

I went to the movies last night and one of the previews was Ruby Sparks.
First of all, that annoys me and ruins my good last name. I kid, but let’s get some things down on paper…

Whiteness- a political, societal and institutional structure of racial hierarchy that generally puts white people at the top, whereas PoC are aligned in accordance to their intersectionality (class, race, skin color, gender identity, sexuality, etc).
Example- a lighter skinned non-denominational Latin@, although she is still lives on the bottom ranks of the...

lets talk about how non-black WOC and black women came out w pitchforks coz nicki is in a cage in one of her videos, like the fate of the world and all WOC rests on black women being 100% perfect as per everyone elses desires.
but no such outrage ensued over practically white Shakira doing it in her shewolf video in almost the exact same fashion a couple years...

When you discuss the wage gap, here are a few things to keep in mind:
Only white women make $0.77 to a man’s dollar.
Black women make about $0.68 to a man’s dollar.
Latina women make about $0.58 to a man’s dollar.
Intersectionality matters.
and many MOC make less than white women too.

How to like problematic things
starvedforjustice:
know they’re problematic
know why they’re problematic
don’t dismiss people’s feelings/dissatisfaction with them
don’t silence people when they’re talking about the problems in your media, because your enjoyment is not more important than that discussion.
Congratulations, you’ve reached the minimum level of decency for being a person who enjoys things that might be...

Yeah, Gandhi was an unbelievably selfish individual. My biggest reason for losing respect for him, though, was that he criticized the Jews for defending themselves against the Holocaust — he insisted that they should have committed public mass suicide...

Hey, assholes earlier in this thread?
Look at this list of words. Really LOOK at it:
Dainty
Delicate
Elegant
Poised
Fragile
Genteel
Graceful
Aside from arguably the word ‘fragile’ there’s not a goddamned word on that list that indicates a lack of strength or personal conviction. There’s nothing infantilizing there - unless you’ve already bought into the belief...

Honestly, white people, you will regret it if you don’t listen to us on this n word thing. I mean, even though you think you have worked out a scenario in which it’s okay to say it, I can’t personally guarantee that every black person within earshot will give you time to explain your reasoning. I’m doing this for you, white folks. I’m hard on you because I love and I don’t...
