Panfilo posted:So what happens when you get a race - reversed Tamir Rice incident? A uniformed black police officer shoots and kills a white kid playing with a toy gun. Will the privilege of being an officer override the privilege of being a white victim? Will the officer's colleagues and union stand behind him with the same vigor as a white officer? Could we expect the same degree of victim blaming levied at the child, or will he be deified for being an innocent victim of police misconduct? What happens is, at least as far as the racist public is concerned, is it gets turned into a tool to shout down BLM. It gets turned into "See, white people aren't rioting over this," "The media won't cover this story!" etc. The logic of it doesn't matter. edit: source: Facebook.

Doctor Butts posted:I actually kind of miss whale tails. Voguing is actually a great case study in appropriation. Watch Paris Is Burning https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paris_Is_Burning_(film) . Then read about the making of it, and what happened to some of the people involved as the filmmaker and people like Madonna built careers on their backs.

Koalas March posted:I am just now realizing I missed the hearing. How did that turn out? Can I watch it anywhere? Here's a transcript: http://www.bluejersey.com/2017/01/transcript-sen-cory-bookers-testimony-against-sen-jeff-sessions-for-attorney-general/ Apparently only three R senators stuck around to hear him talk. I liked this bit because it really cut to the heart of all the bloviating about the Majesty of the Law that Sessions et al. went on about : quote:
