Was literally listening to Everybody Plays the Fool earlier today.



You giving all of us classes? Don't cop out and say Canadian on me.

I could've sworn you were dubbed a soul snatcher. Known to call people on their shit and start fights in the streets. Also known as the queen of Toronto and the 2nd black woman to earn slayven's thirst

RIP to Cuba Gooding Sr.

And if you must read an article about Rachel Dolezal, this is the one to read, since it was written by a black woman: http://www.thestranger.com/features/2017/04/19/25082450/the-heart-of-whiteness-ijeoma-oluo-interviews-rachel-dolezal-the-white-woman-who-identifies-as-black

For a white woman who had grown up with only a few magazines of stylized images of blackness to imagine herself into a real-life black identity without any lived black experience, to turn herself into a black history professor without a history degree, to place herself at the forefront of local black society that she had adopted less than a decade earlier, all while seeming to claim to do it better and more authentically than any black person who would dare challenge her—well, it's the ultimate "you can be anything" success story of white America. Another branch of manifest destiny. No wonder America couldn't get enough of the Dolezal story.

Ol'Rachel comes across as petty and bitter.

I can accept this.

Thanks for the link, Mrs. Manky.


How is her racial fluidity anything more than a function of her privilege as a white person?

If Dolezal's identity only helps other people born white become black while still shielding them from the majority of the oppression of visible blackness, and does nothing to help those born black become white—how is this not just more white privilege?

Dolezal takes issue with the idea that racial fluidity only travels one way: "Well, I would respectfully disagree that it only goes one way," she says. "I meet people all the time who went the other way. I meet people who have passed or identified as Latina their entire life who were born categorized as black. Who pass white and have a black parent because that's how they look or that's how they have kind of come to look."

This freaking bit in it, though.

I feel like those anime haters have more life experience than you or I

I can't blame anyone for hating anime, well, except for the whole it's an entire medium thing, but due to the economics behind it, the entire medium has been turned into a factory for shitty moe garbage, so I understand hating it.
 
I do. (for the most part)

Wait now, hold on. Liking anime doesn't mean you have to into the current stuff right? Because I'm just over here on episode like 400 of One Piece.

Not what I meant. I'm just saying there's plenty of shit people don't want to be associated with.

For every Monster, there's some creepy shit that shouldn't exist.
