  • HA HA HA!

    The AAUW is the bad guy. It comes down AGAINST boys being educated.

    I read the USA Today editorial. Now I know.

  • Yep, cataract--you're racist.

    "I don't disagree with interracial relationships...but not in my family...I guess I'm sorta old fashioned with this. and it's not racism."

    So everyone else can marry those awful black people but your family is too good for such a terrible fate? Gee, thanks. Ever so. :P

  • Now I'm all for first amendment rights

    But you gotta love the hypocrisy that allows a letter that Greeneyedkzin accurately described as "racist, sexist and anti-Semitic" to remain posted for hours, while otherwise humorous, certainly less offensive posts are routinely censored and taken down moments after going up.

    Of course, this kinda segues nicely into the fact that recent posts on Broadsheet have dealt with studies and findings that, and you really don't need to look too hard, suggest innate differences between the sexes that extend beyond anatomy.

  • How can I be racist....

    I have black friends and enjoy spending time with them more then most of my friends.

    but they are women.

    I've been threatened by a black man in the past. And it seems I just can't get past it.

    And I know it can be stereotypical...and I'll probably get past it...

    But if my daughter or any of my sisters would date a black man...and he was to spend the night...I wouldn't feel safe in my own home...just for that one incidence and seeing some of my friends in rocky and violent relationships with black men.

  • Does "88" mean what I think it does?

    Heil Hitler?

    It would stand to reason, based on your letter. It's just a matter of time before Anti-Racist Action puts a crowbar (or something similar) into your face. We don't believe in ignoring people like you or holding "diversity rallies" on the other side of town. No.

    1) We go where they go: Whenever fascists are organizing or active in public, we're there. We don't believe in ignoring them or staying away from them. Never let the nazis have the street!

    2) We don't rely on the cops or courts to do our work for us: This doesn't mean we never go to court. But we must rely on ourselves to protect ourselves and stop the fascists.

    3) Non-Sectarian defense of other Anti-Fascists: In ARA, we have lots of different groups and individuals. We don't agree about everything and we have a right to differ openly. But in this movement an attack on one is an attack on us all. We stand behind each other.

    4) We support abortion rights and reproductive freedom. ARA intends to do the hard work necessary to build a broad, strong movement against racism, sexism, anti-Semitism, homophobia, discrimination against the disabled, the oldest, the youngest and the most oppressed people. We want a classless society. WE INTEND TO WIN!

  • You STILL don't get it, do you feminists?

    Fuck you all, MEN ARE ON STRIKE.

    "White men need a mental kick in the ass to stop all this crybaby, whining, spineless, sackless attitude of defeat and apathy! FIGHT for your race and women! DEFEND white women when a minority wrongs them and the world will applaud you! Honor, courage, dignity, respect are representative of our men. Remember that."

    A point to be heard...alot of male posters just get on here to whine and cry about how oppressed they are by women. This guy made a point...AN ACTUAL POINT....

    Get a fucking CLUE women, men gave up on you after being smashed over the head for four decades that we men were WORSE than worthless AND that we were ALL EVIL.

    I am looking forward to the NEXT forty years, when men REALLY begin to kick in their RRRRAGE and bust some feminist nuts in return (metaphorically speaking).

    The age when women were respected and listened to by men is SO OVER.
