Points Proven Again And Again And Again

Deer White Peepul,

[Yeah you already know this is going to end well]

When a queer Jewish Black woman discusses the racism, misogyny, heterosexism, and anti-semiticism that she has to endure in her day-to-day, the thing NOT TO DO (especially if you're a straight white male) is to roll on to her space, white-mansplain how she shouldn't be soooooo angry, cry reverse racism and engage in the very behavior she just called out in the post.

While we appreciate you proving her point for posterity, feel free to stop now.

Any of this sound familiar?

And do you know that even a month later white folks are STILL throwing a hissy fit over this post?

Racist white folks, lock it up. Shut it down. It's done. It's a wrap. For reasons explained here.

Seriously, I was not being mean or angry. That was me on a very good day. The point of that post was to point out areas of opportunity for you to do better and improve. I want you to do better and improve.

Also white folks, quit trying to qualify that anti-woman ish just as a textbook attempt derail the discussion when I'm calling racist white women out on their bigotry and hypocrisy. If you didn't have shit to say about the numerous examples I cited about how black women and other women of color have to contend with both racism and misogyny, and you conveniently ignore and dismiss that, then you have nothing to say to now.

I swear afro_dyte wasn't lying when she said that May seems to be Privileged Mofos Showing Their Ass Month.

Because I mean, GAWD DAMN THESE MOTHERFUCKERS KNOW HOW TO REPRESENT!!!!!!!

the drama, racefail
