Just too much! It's like twirling mustaches time.

After claiming victimization for herself, this idiot is now hitting up the POC fans she insulted to work on her e-zine! Un-fucking-believable! This is an over the top display of privilege and if you want to know what racism looks like, that is it.

If you need some background on what this has come out of, see rydra_wong's LJ for a collection of links, starting here and here.

Well, I just bit the bullet and posted something myself, hoping that it doesn't fail too badly and that I'm not coming off like the honky girl riding in to save the day.

One thing I think I've learned from this is that as embarrassing as it is to write something with good intentions and then be shown how badly you failed, it's better to try and fail than to stay silent. Trying and failing is a way of learning.

Yeah, that's a hard role not to try to take up for us Pisces, so always something to be mindful of. I will go look when I can. (-:

It is, and knowing when to hold back--sometimes silence is necessary because you're in the wrong position to be the speaker, and the speaking always takes up space, and the fail might hurt someone. But then there's hubris at thinking the fail you dish really is that big a deal to someone else who deals with it every day . . . still you don't want to make your friends go, *sigh* et tu, Brutus? another one rides the bus . . . all of that.
