Unbearable brownness of being
May. 17th, 2011 04:31 pmWhy is it always the days when I'm busiest that I post the most?
Anyway I haven't said much about the Psychology Today dustup that happened recently, nor am I going to. Others have said it far more eloquently than I ever could. But between that and a couple of other things that have ignited the racial rage, I'm in seriously annoyed headspace. What I will do is post links, because the aforementioned more-eloquent-than-I people need to have their words read, as they are important.
You Keep Saying Black Women Are Ugly Worthless Whores And We Refuse To Believe You -![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
karnythia's response to the PT ish
Why are Black women so gorgeous, resourceful, talented, intelligent and hated on?
Somewhat unrelated to the above, but in the same theme is "A Day at the Park" which... yeah, I can't. I choked up reading it. As someone who has gotten the occasional funny look at the playground/library when interacting directly with two particular short pale people, parts of this resonated a bit too hard for me. The rest... just... wow. Poor guy.
tl;dr - Racism sucks. In other news, bears shit in the woods, the Pope is Catholic, and the Terminator's been having secret love children with his political staffers. How's your day been? :/
