The economy is doing well because of Obama’s policies. I already looked that up. His approval ratings are down in the dumps and there’s no uptick in sight knock that shit off, holla at ya boy when the impeachment even claps once Until they get his ass outta there, shit aint changed enough Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bailey Posted October 1, 2018 Author Share Posted October 1, 2018 I mean what is the #MeToo movement other than some foreplay if they can't shut that orange fucker down?

Angela Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 So... as a Black Woman (how many people in this thread are one?), I initially was interested in the point of Janet speaking as a womanist vs. a feminist until I saw the rather flippant comment about not caring the women assualted by Bill Cosby (honestly - he’s a rapist and deserves all that’s coming to him). As a Black Woman, my race and my gender are intrinsically tied together (and Janet eloquently captured that for me in New Agenda). If it’s not racism or colorism, it’s sexism outside and within my own community. It’s why I pay attention to what happens to not just Black people but to women as well because I am forced to pay a steeper tax when something happens to women because I am a Black woman. Misogynoir is a real thing and it’s rampant regardless of if I’m interacting with White Women or Black Men. I also don’t susbscribe to the Kumbaya “We’re all one human race” as that erases the unique and specific challenges each oppressed group goes through and it’s that kind of thinking that fed the whole “We’re a post-racial society” mentality that allowed covert racism to go unchecked until it culminated in Trumpism. And in relation to the race of our future Presidents, I’ll be honest: I’m interested to see when we as a nation elect a president who isn’t biracial. So, I’m good with Janet making her comments because it’s true. And let’s not forget an important point: Black Women started the #metoo movement. She’s not co-opting a movement that she doesn’t already belong to. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bailey Posted October 1, 2018 Author Share Posted October 1, 2018 I have no disagreements there, I will only rehash the points I believe I made that matter, White women benefit from #MeToo and have no aligned camaraderie with women of color, worse, they do NOT care to. Next, we got a long way to go, because as stated, those making the statement we live in a post racial world because Obama was elected are fools not viewing the reality. Since when did Neo-Nazis carrying tikki torches become peaceful protest? Screw dat, "very nice people on both sides"? BULL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rock & Roll Hall of Game Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 I don’t subscribe to the “kumbyah” theory.

I can agree with elements of a movement and understand what it means to me and the nuances involved in it. I think Kavanaugh shouldn’t serve on SCOTUS because I think there are too many women coming out AND it’s also not lost on me that some of these women that knew him and are speaking out probably voted for Trump which makes it ironic lol. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bailey Posted October 1, 2018 Author Share Posted October 1, 2018 I mean I went to the library to study and two guys, I named frick and fuck, were going back and forth over Ford, and "she has a wikipedia page!" and "he should be able to sue due to slander".......ummm no neither one of them can prove anything ....not one person has come forth to corroborate the events as Ford said. What leaves me disturbed, is Cavanuagh's rant about what its really about and when he did that his true unprofessional colors came out....still he is likely to make it to confirmation, unless we get a unicorn that comes forward Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just hate that since 2016 Trumpish has birthed a way of thinking that says its okay to act a fool and call folks the n-word and go after affirmative action, gay rights, and anything Obama built. What I want to know is how do you vote for Obama twice no less and then elect someone whose only tangible agenda was to undo the previous administration ?

She got full of herself, and that was her down fall. Hell she did not do a single campaign stop in Wisconsin, a blue state, and she lost them! taking shit for granted like shes so sure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
