Let me enlighten you a little, considering I'm feeling benevolent.

Any time you feel a need to defend yourself when someone is calling out bigotry, the problem is you.

No. I would like to point out bring any race into it makes you racist. Your sentence implied that you meant all white people.


What happened here in the article is very upsetting. I hate that people think they can take advantage of anyone and think they can get away with it.


As someone who has some pull in the fashion world, urban outfiters is going down.

Oh sweet summer child are you ignorant.

Let me learn you a thing. Reverse racism doesn't exist and your arguement against all white people being bigoted, just proves that they are.

Do yourself a favour and just stop.

And further, the very fact you think we need your help? Yeah, no. Keep your white saviour crud and eat it. We just need you people to stop stealing our culture and stop pretending that your courts aren't a rubber stamp for the rich and racist.

I get where you are going with it but it came off mean and hurtful. Grouping any race into one category of bigotry is mean and hurtful.

When I'm angry over an injustice to my culture is not the time to have a conversation with me about how white people are so oppressed.

But hey, I should obviously take time out from my hurt that my people are once again being stolen from to soothe your hurt feelings over my tone and use of your language.

What I am trying to say is that instead of blaming an entire race for injustice we should focus on the real issues at hand. The corrupt system of the so called "justice system". I am not a fan of injustice of any kind. And having someone upset about something that is personal to them saying something like that will cause more hurt than getting your point across.

What you did was point fingers to make yourself feel better. It doesn't make the real issues go away.

Are you really this stupid or are you being deliberately dense?

You are just a ball of hateful and angry energy. At least I won't blame your entire race because of who you are as a person.

You're not covering yourself in glory here, you know?

I am angry, and I have every right to be angry. That you've somehow decided that your opinion counts for anything in this situation is laughable at best and just down right sad.

Go educate yourself a little before you speak next time and perhaps I'll be less 'hateful' as you say.

YOU ARE MISSING THE POINT!

You have every right to be angry. I am not disagreeing with you on the subject you linked. Just the fact you are grouping one race together because some asshole judge.

Just please, Maya, think about things through before you post them. You may have meant it one way but it sounded another way.

Tandy, here's a couple of links you probably should read before you say anything else:

Gross. The Navajo are literally one of the main tribes I learned about in primary school, how can that not be famous enough?

I know, right? Who is this judge and why are they even still practicing law they're so bad at it.

There are a lot of things that happen in law that maybe make sense from a... rules-robot standpoint maybe, but not so much when you're actually talking about people.

The difference between the law and actual justice, I guess?

Some days, at least. In this case, definitely.

And yet they tell us we need to trust the system and get offended when we fall over laughing at them.

The thing about trusting the system is that everyone in the system is (ostensibly) human, and that pulls in human biases and everything that comes with that.

And this would be why I don't, trust the system that is. If Tandy is any indication, it's full of ignorant dumbasses who don't deserve my time of day, let alone any trust.

People who haven't been on the wrong side of the system don't always understand the inequities.
