How deeply ingrained is misogyny in conservative political culture, you ask?
There’s a handsome young white man playing pro football on a Midwestern team with a racist name that’s headed to the Super Bowl.
He’s in a stable, happy, parent-approved relationship with a pretty young white woman who used to be a country music star. Their story is more heteronormative than a Hallmark movie plot.
Both get more public condemnation than a serial sex offender facing multiple felony fraud charges.
I don't know who needs to be reminded of this, but diversity is made up of intersections. No one is "just Black". The #Black community is very diverse.
A group of Christians doesn't include Black Jews.
A group of hetero Black women doesn't represent Black Lesbians.
A group of Black immigrants excludes descendants of American slavery.
When I see a list of "Black voices", first thing I do is look for Jews or LGBTQ people. The latter is usually easier to find. #Diversity #DiversityEquityInclusion
Conversations at Arse o’Clock:
“Well, I’m sorry, cat. If you insist on sleeping with your head crammed up against my butt, sooner or later you’re going to catch a fart.”
We learned all the wrong lessons from 9/11, and now we’re rushing headlong into a new version of those same mistakes.
Once again, the most vulnerable will pay the highest price for conflating vengeance with justice and complicity with diplomacy.
