Yesterday, prosecutors decided that they won’t press charges against Greg Kelly, son of police commissioner Ray Kelly. He was accused of raping a woman—I wrote about it here. I sounded pretty sure I believed he...

I shudder to think that for most white people, the idealized imaginary worlds they create are places where PoC don’t exist. Usually, neither do queers. Or trans people. Or marginalized people.
These are the worlds of their imaginations. These are the places they go to for entertainment and...

In the context of cultural appropriation, and especially being called out on it, this bullshit argument
asserts the individuality of the defendant while they are being called out on behaviour that is practically indistinguishable from pretty much everybody else’s—it’s neither clever nor original

I love it when activist vegans say that humans aren’t designed to eat meat based on our teeth.
Go study the gastrointestinal tracts of herbivores, compare it to the human GI tract, and get back to me on that.
Humans can digest raw meat. There are indigenous cultures whose diets still consist of large amounts of raw meat....

White people, why do you feel the need to interject this anytime someone makes a statement about “white people”? Not “all white people.” But “White people.” You always tell us we’d to better to add a “some” before that “white people” statement, because without it, we are talking about every single one of you. Or, that’s...

i often wonder wtf so many “feminists” think womb-bearers dont deserve to be accomodated when theyre pregnant or menstruating. talmbout men dont get accomodated, if we wanna be equal we will trudge thru and suffer unduly.

A thousand times yes. And they are even worse about being privilege deniers when you call them out for sexist shit.

"Beethoven was Black."
raptorific:
First of all, let’s get this out of the way: Yes he was. By today’s standards, based on descriptions from people who met him, if you were shown a photograph of the real Beethoven and then asked to guess his race, I guarantee you 99% would say “black.” It’s a shame photography wasn’t really a thing back then. From a privilege standpoint, even if his ancestors had never set foot in...

What Became of the Taíno? volviomarilia:
Some scholars estimate the Taíno population may have reached more than three million on Hispaniola alone as the 15th century drew to a close, with smaller settlements elsewhere in the Caribbean. Whatever the number, the Taíno towns described by Spanish chroniclers were densely settled, well organized and widely dispersed. The Indians...
