Imagine how he'll feel once he stops insulting people long enough to read the thread and realize how easy it is to find a perpetually offended group on the left.

I don't know whether people will bother to read the links you posted, but (note to Peon) they're right on the money as far as the topic and the OP's motivations for starting it are concerned. Thanks.

K, there will always be *millions* of such examples. Which is really my point: your thread title is easily translatable to something like, 'List all the things you don't like about things that offend lefties'. And that's pretty much all that people have done - along with a few of their best chortles and a merest sprinkling of offhand analysis.

Some of the things that have been posted I've seen as worth defending; others not so much. (Many, of course, are little more than propaganda, of course.) But, really, there's little point. The thread reads like a hotchpotch of copies and pastes from one or more of the right wing newspapers or TV news stations - Fox or the UK's Daily Mail, for instance. Nobody would have the time or energy to counter everything that's belched out with such eternal vigour by such media and their internet equivalents.

As a 'riposte' to this thread one could, I suppose, start a thread entitled something like "The Latest Nuttiness of the Looney Right" ... but - again - really, what's the point? To demonstrate that lefties and righties here find different things irksome and for different reasons (that they see as bad for society as a whole, etc, etc)? Is there anybody here who isn't only too aware of that already?

You seem to only support sexism when it suits you Aylee..... Read Perkins article in full and try and grasp the context.

My post was about Anne Perkins not Bahar Mustafa but since you ask, her comments were out of line and the MET Police are investigating her #killallwhitemen Tweet

After that bald face quote above they should investigate her sanity, her teachers sanity and the sanity of who ever hasn't fired her yet.

I recall you mentioning that. We were all tall king about white privilege and male privilege and heterosexual privilege. God help you if you are:

1. Male

2. A white male

3. A straight white male

You're fucked.

UPDATE: Rachel Dolezal, President of the N.A.A.C.P. in Seattle, has resigned and turned over the reins to the Vice-President.

“It is with complete allegiance to the cause of racial and social justice and the NAACP that I step aside from the Presidency and pass the baton to my Vice President, Naima Quarles-Burnley,” she wrote.

Dolezal said that her chapter in Spokane has been dedicated to fighting against injustices the African-American community faces, such as police brutality, biased school curriculums and economic disenfranchisement.

“And yet, the dialogue has unexpectedly shifted internationally to my personal identity in the context of defining race and ethnicity,” she wrote.

Last week, Dolezal's racial identity became a major news story after Lawrence and Ruthanne Dolezal, a white couple from Montana, identified themselves as her biological parents.

They said their daughter is mainly of German and Czech descent, despite the fact that she identified herself publicly as biracial and implied her biological father is black.

In an interview with The Spokesman-Review, when she was asked to identify her race, she said: “There’s a lot of complexities … and I don’t know that everyone would understand that.”

Dolezal again seemed to touch on the idea of fluid racial identity in her resignation lstter, when she wrote that challenging the “construct of race” is central to “evolving human consciousness.”

In other words:

I am not really BLACK. BUT...I identify as black so I should be able to live as black (fuck the complexities...I've done, arguably, better as a black woman than I would've as a white woman. This way, I can claim 'victim' on TWO fronts) since racial identity is fluid.
(ever-changing...Hmmm, let's ask someone who's really black or brown or white...And proud if it...if they feel that way).

What is sexism PS? Is it white woman sexism? Is it black woman sexism? Is it transgendered woman sexism? I think as a man you should feel shame for being sexist against Aylee, who are you to define sexism. You're just an old angry white male. You can't understand.

You are just an old troll, cut from the same cloth as sanity.

I havent shown any sexism towards Aylee despite your bullshit post.

The link is easy to follow, well it is for most people. Outdated views such as Tim Hunts, especially given where he was when he made them, lead to thinking such as that described by Perkins..... That inturn leads to sexual abuse, as shown by the attitudes of sexual abusers (she was asking for it, dressing like a slut etc etc)

Aylee has, quite rightly, spoken up about sexual abuse, so she should at least get the point as to where the thinking behind it making it somehow okay, comes from.

I wonder if I can be transpecies and make my work buy me a hamster wheel to accommodate me. I always thought a hamster wheel was more cool than a treadmill or elliptical.

It's easy for you to make fun of people you don't understand. You have no idea how I've suffered being transclass. You can't even begin to imagine what it's like being a rich kid born into the #WrongFamily. If you had any compassion and sense of social justice, you would be sending me money instead of cracking jokes.

Saw news article just a bit ago. They're calling her transracial. Oh, and apparently she's collecting victim status. Black, transracial, bisexual, single mom, lived in poverty...I forgot what else.

The "what else" is white. The story below is from the Washington Post:

Rachel Dolezal sued Howard for racial discrimination. Because she was white.

More from The Smoking Gun here:

As detailed in the court opinion, Dolezal’s lawsuit contended that Howard was “permeated with discriminatory intimidation, ridicule, and insult.” Judge Zoe Bush dismissed Dolezal’s complaint in February 2004, 18 months after the lawsuit was filed and Dolezal was deposed on several occasions. Bush found no evidence that Dolezal was discriminated on the basis of race or other factors. The D.C. Court of Appeals subsequently affirmed Bush’s decision. Following the dismissal of Dolezal’s lawsuit (and the Court of Appeals decision), she was ordered to reimburse Howard for a “Bill of Costs” totaling $2728.50. During the case, she was also ordered to pay the university nearly $1000 in connection with an “obstructive and vexatious” court filing that sought to improperly delay her examination by an independent doctor.

Apparently her catalog of grievances is as fluid as her racial identity.

Not to mention a great artist!

Didn't she go to Harvard for a graduate degree in art as a black woman? Interesting what that experience produced.
