White woman feminism is about a capitalistic career track, not having to have kids, and getting into the white man’s world. Meanwhile, Women of Color are just trying to survive.

Just A Quick Note to Atheists (From an Atheist)

Being an atheist does not erase privilege. This includes white privilege.
This also includes cis privilege, CNDP privilege, and het privilege.
Seriously, being an atheist does not erase your white privilege.
Criticizing exclusively (majority) non-white religions is racist. This includes Islam.

subterraneanbunnypig:
I’m sick and tired of people acting like it’s no big deal that Chris Brown will be performing at the Grammys.
I’m frustrated that the mainstream media is covering this story like it’s any comeback story, like an exiled prince’s return to a former glory, like this is another political timeline — as though some rich and powerful old white men in the music business have not...

Grammy producers confirmed that Chris Brown will be performing on Sunday’s show.
“We’re glad to have him back,” said executive producer Ken Ehrlich. “I think people deserve a second chance, you know. If you’ll note, he has not been on the Grammys for the past few years and it may have taken us a while to kind of get over the fact that we were the victim of what happened.”
