Did you enjoy him comparing using the term white supremacy and white privilege to using illegals or illegal alien.


I think the highlight though was saying that white supremacy has become too loaded with negative connotations, as if there are any coronations that could be positive.

B-But...we gotta recognize the feelings of others, no matter how racist they are. It's the only way to gain a better understanding.

Favorite Disney movies?

Number one is The Lion King. Despite some fuckery, it was about as African as Disney could get without being insulting, and a lot of black people got paid (The James Earl Jones treating a whole new generation to his amazing voice), both with the movie and the musical.

Number two is Princess and the Frog. Once again, some fuckery, but black people got paid, there were lines in the movie that actually acknowledged racism (why do you think those two assholes didn't approve her loan?), and all the little black girls got Tiana dolls, backpacks, and other related merchandise. And "Friends On The Other Side" is a Keith David certified jam.

really? I watched that thing when I was ~5. I barely remember any of it; if it weren't for KH I wouldn't even know the basic plot.

I mean it's not intentionally one but it is... It's about a girl who feels born in the wrong body and longs for a different one and is willing to do what it takes to be who she really wants to be.

https://www.academia.edu/5457845/Pe...in_The_Little_Mermaid_From_Andersen_to_Disney

Sebastian’s transformation into an understanding friend is a result of his recognition that Ariel will be happy only if she can perform as human instead of mer. After Ariel is turned into a human, Sebastian encourages her to return to the sea witch, to ask for her voice back, and to become a mermaid again: ‘‘If we could get that witch to give you back your voice, you could go home with all the normal fish, and just be.’’Then, he notices the look of dejection on her face and relents, continuing ‘‘just be, just be miserable for the rest of your life.’’ Sebastian’s facial expression in this scene powerfully announces his moment of transformation: He recognizes finally that Ariel’s identification as a human is central to her happiness and agrees to help her.When Ariel fully comes out of the closet (or ocean) as a human, Sebastian initially protests but eventually accepts the identity performance she is finally able to embrace.Sebastian’s use of the word normal to refer to life in the ocean is the last instantiation of his resistance to Ariel’s identity performance.

whoa, didn't expect that, thank you very much! I'll watch it again and read this paper, then talk to you later c:

For sure. It was interesting because I was always loved Ariel, and didn't now why and it wasn't until watching it again no longer a child and having fully embraced being trans that I saw the connection and realized I must have been picking up on that on some level even as a child.

Bernard didn't study. Yeah, everyone else is saying no to reparations. But nobody else is asking people to dream a little dream. He don't want those KKlite liberals from leaving his ass. How are reparations divisive but raising taxes, single payer healthcare and socialism is not? Got to keep the black people in their place.

Chuck Todd, the host of NBC's "Meet The Press," asked Sanders why he doesn't endorse the idea of compensating the descendants of slaves when he's built his campaign on issues of economic justice and political revolution. The Vermont senator pivoted.

"Well, for the same reason that Barack Obama has and the same reason I believe that Hillary Clinton has," Sanders said. "And that is, it is absolutely wrong and unacceptable that we have so much poverty in this country and it is even worse in the African American community."

As Sanders listed off statistics about African American youth struggling with unemployment and poverty, Todd noted that he didn't answer the question.

Niggas ready to raise taxes on everybody but reparations? Woah, there buddy. Let's not go to far.

My response to reparations: at least don't call it divisive. Narrow it down to recent things. Tulsa riots and redlining.

But I feel like a response to reparations is couched around everyone's willingness to understand it would be massive. And no one wanting to stir there diet racism pot.

I like how he says neither does Hillary, yes no shit, but she's not running on pie-in the sky political revolution... you are.

Tell me he said taking out Wall Street will solve racism. My favorite are people who argue bigotry is just a product of economic issues.

It's not racism it's classicism is my favorite stupid argument.

The revolution was never meant to atone for that. That wrong was necessary. Now just be happy with healthcare and a higher minimum wage. Not like any of that makes you human in the eyes of the majority.

I'm a little surprised at the lack of Marvel/Star Wars. (And technically Muppets/Indiana Jones, but that would really be a shock)

Thinking about it, Indiana isn't a very PC name. I wonder what other fucked up place names we have here.

Welcome, bangy!

How is hip-hop and/or r&b where you live? I'm always interested in checking out music (read "those genres + jazz") from other countries.
