I don't think she is still sobbing.

I'm glad to see though that some wealthy white men are prepared to tell us minorities how we should be feeling and acting. Such a rare blessing.

You know what? It's this kind of sexist, racist nonsense that got people to vote for Trump. If you want to ensure a second Trump term, by all means, go ahead and continue on the social justice train and demonize people for their race, sex or class.

That's going to leave a mark.

Or rather, it SHOULD leave a mark. I suspect they are impervious though.

I tend towards Grab On's side.  At the very, very least, there is anecdotal evidence of racially inspired attacks already taking place.

I suppose having some wealthy black men telling you how to feel and act was a nice change of pace.

Seriously, what drugs are you on? They seem pretty fucked up.

True, I should know my place. I don't know why I'm getting all uppity.

[Hamilcar]

I am starting to see some encouraging signs from my Facebook friends in the US that maybe, just maybe, extreme identity politics is not a winning strategy.

[Hamilcar]

True, I should know my place. I don't know why I'm getting all uppity.

You're the one attacking me on race, sex and class grounds. I would never return the favor. I'm merely calling you out for your nasty identity politics.

[Martinus]

It's funny how garbo, with a rich family, Stanford degree, cushy overseas job and a central London flat, is playing a victim card here.

But that's what you are. A person with the power and privilege to never have to worry about outcomes a Trump presidency. I'm certainly sure that's a nice existence. Don't really know where that leaves you as an authority to speak on to what is or is not appropriate for those of us who do have to worry.

Oh that's right, because I'm the wrong gender, class and skin color, I can't have an opinion. So sorry, enlightened overlord.
