What’s Crossing Your Mind II

Repeating that just tells me that you either failed to read or understand my first paragraph. No one in the US has completely *nothing* to do with racism. That’s like saying a fish has nothing to do with the water it’s swimming in. It’s all around us. As I said already, choosing not to have anything to do with it is a privilege, it means the person is simply ignoring the injustice around them.

And on the idea that someone has to wait and learn before having an opinion: a) that’s assuming that no public figure is informed, which you can’t know and b) there are some things that are just wrong and time isn’t needed to see that. A group of white men shooting a black man in the back, for example.
You make a good point, I agree. But when the topic of privilege comes up then all too often it's a... because your... line of thinking.
 
You don’t have to necessarily know what you’re talking about to, say, know that’s Putin is a piece of shit. What facts are you waiting for on that? If you can speak up for, say, the rights of trans people, you can speak out against what Russia is doing. I’m not talking about celebrities. I’m talking about everyday folks who, because of their profession or influence, have a minor platform with which to share.

It matters TO ME because I’ve seen people speak out against violence against gays or trans folx or Muslims but when it was MY community, they were silent. And now, they’re silent again because it doesn’t fit their curated narrative or worse, they make it about them.

It also doesn’t really matter what you think. Because it is what was crossing my mind. Not yours.
Agreed
 
Haha! Would definitely save a lot of laundry if I painted nude! Dancing around on the kitchen counters was difficult enough, without adding bouncing boobs into the equation!

The rest of us disagree.
 
When the world couldn’t be more divided, one man brought it back together.

It’s hard to find the motivation to be productive after having an awesome weekend. I’m really happy to be back to work and know this is where I belong.
 
Stepmothers have no middle ground in media depictions; either they’re evil in fairy tales or horny in porns.
 
Wow. Lit forums on landscape view on phone is like coming out of a tunnel. 😁
 
He fucking ruined my birthday from now on. I’ll always think about what happened every year from now on.
