So I’m going to start reading Save the Pearls. Wish me luck.
queerblackandproud asked: It's funny because the actual etymology of the term 'reverse racism' implies that racism must include power or be institutionalized because it refers to white people making policies that are racist against themselves (claims are bogus, but that's what it was meant to intend). So people arguing reverse racism because prejudice are necessarily contradictory... Still, reverse...
the-heartofthe-sun asked: What's Juneteenth? I'd look it up but I figured I'd ask if it has relevance to your blog.
Anonymous asked: it's not reverse racism, that's silly. it's regular old racism. black people, hispanics, asians all can be racist. ps: it's not a competition for who's more oppressed, we all know black people won that one.

subliminal-verse:
I don’t get why racist comments conjure up such a commotion..
It’s just like calling someone a ‘fag’ or gay, or ugly, or fat, or skinny, or disabled, or too tall or too small.. right?
Just because of the background, it’s illegal, yet if you call someone ugly all the time which may lead them to take their own life, suddenly that’s legal?
Voicing opinions are wrong.
There is...

Ugh, being separated from the social justice assholes on tumblr for a couple of weeks just highlights how ludicrous they can be. Honestly, this is the only place where I’ve ever witnessed genuine racism against white people. I understand that historically and to this day people of other races experience a completely unjust amount of harassment and unfair treatment, but...
Wait what? Outrage over fiction? Awesome!

I found out about a new book today. Save the Pearls, by Victoria Foyt.
Okay, another young adult post-apocalypse series. I kind of like all of these, because usually the offer a criticism of our culture, and the sort of social problems behind it.
So, the story behind this is there’s an eighteen year old with blond hair and blue eyes, and she’s what’s known as a pearl. I’m...
