My feed reader is dwindling down to next to nothing.
Sphere: Related ContentI think the point where I went fuck it , is when a law student, a couple writers, and a professor basically endorsed a book and MISSED in reading something they were ATTACHING their names to .
Racist comics, about MY PEOPLE. Yeah MY PEOPLE, being KILLED and destroyed to save a white man and give a white woman the “courage” she so desperately desires .
And people fell over themselves to excuse them . Cause they’re learning
You know what , fuck off

These last few weeks have really been gross. White allies who have huge followings in the blogosphere have basically been exposed as people who don’t get it at all, are doing the work for money/careers, and have no ability to listen and sincerely apologize. It sucks.
Between this situation in the feminist/womanist blogosphere and the number of political bloggers who think that demeaning Clinton in vicious, sexist terms is teh awesome!!11!, my Bloglines have been cut in nearly half.
Meanwhile, there are least two blogs where Shakers (former and current) are gathering to complain about how much Shakesville totally suxxx now because of all that talk about privilege and all the yucky feminism and not letting people lecture everyone else on how they should vote.
This has been a very interesting few months indeed.
@Melissa McEwan: Oh jesus. You’ve got to be kidding me. Don’t people have anything better to do?
For what it’s worth, I appreciate the fair, even keeled blogging that goes on at Shakesville.
@Eric Stoller: It’s all been very demoralizing for me, that’s for sure.
Ugh, you said it, Melissa. It’s worse than watching a trainwreck.
*hugs Kevin*
ANd forgive me because I generally do like and respect SHakes but NO:
And it’s really nice to know that every time this year anything happens to a WOC NO MATTER WHAT , she will here about Hillary Clinton, and the trials of doing anti racist work. Especially since hey if anybody paid attention part of this ENTIRE DRAMA comes form the experience of having to sit through DAYS of that my opic navel gazing bullshit
ANd frankly while the pledge you made was nice , the fact that YET AND STILL the focus is STILL on what WHITE PEOPLE ARE DOING
and that YET AND STILL ” among her peers ( because somehow brown people blogging about the same time aren’t”almost no one as addressed the DISGUSTING AND VILE ISH among the comments . attitudes, and feminist blogs BY FEMINIST BLOGGERS, even in comments and the DISAPPPERAING oF WOC blogs
so the white people can talk, and no if you talk about linking woc and phrase it as if we ARE Outside the fact that its a multi e thnic coalition only menas that hey theres them and us and FINALLY were gonna decide to do right by ” THEM” but
you knwo what I typed this and im leavingi t but I probably should have kept my mean ” now attack allies mouth shut”
GOod luck and bless.
