    If I can simply take out the qualifier to turn it into a sexist statement (instead of a racist one) then I have a feeling this is not going to be a very well written article.

    how white women use strategic tears to avoid accountability

    If I can simply take out the qualifier to turn it into a sexist statement (instead of a racist one) then I have a feeling this is not going to be a very well written article.

          The articles are about two different topics.

              I think you're upset because I posted an article and it generated comments showing a clear bias on this site... Wasn't my intent, but it happened.. I saw similar articles posted, so I posted it....

              I think you're upset because I posted an article and it generated comments showing a clear bias on this site... Wasn't my intent, but it happened.. I saw similar articles posted, so I posted it. Thought it would be welcome. My mistake.

      I disagree. There is a large class of people who use tears for strategic purposes. They're called assholes.

      But I think it's a gross overgeneralization to try to claim that a large class of people cry strategically as a regular occurrence.

        It's always a good day when I both get a laugh out of and agree with a demifiend comment.

          I'm also available for children's parties, chemical weddings, and electric funerals.

      Almost as if they want to paint a picture for the world.

    I'm not at all surprised that some white women use their tears to silence POCs. They probably do the same to men, because they're assholes. When an asshole turns on the waterworks so they can lay on the emotional blackmail, the only response that works is to show that you see through their crocodile tears.

    This can be difficult if you suffer from an excess of empathy, but it is necessary. Assholes won't learn if they don't get their noses rubbed in their failures.

      You obviously don't get invited to the white woman world council, where they plan their white woman actions, all together, as a single entity.

        My possession of a Y chromosome, a cock, and a pair of balls precluded any such invitation. Hell, I'm not even supposed to know about that particular conspiracy, but a junior initiate saw my hair...

    I think far too many articles these days are trying to affix traits specific to horrible people onto any race/gender/sexual orientation they don't like. It isn't just White women who do this to PoCs, it's manipulative assholes who do it to anybody who disagrees with/upsets them. There's no need for the specificity present in this article. The behavior is present in any group of people

    Edited because autocorrect is a jackass

      I don't follow? Is this because I am unpopular and my opinion is unpopular so you want to side with the group think and be seen as folk hero? I was completely civil in that discussion and even agreed with the majority in the thread. i kind of feel like this is a bit unfair. People can post when it has to do with one specific group, but post against another and we're wrong? I am not understanding your message here?

      I wasn't trying to prove a point. There have been a lot of article related to that subject lately so I posted another. I don't understand why I am wrong for it, but others aren't.

      And to dismiss my points / comments by calling them arguments but not to do that to anyone else is a bit harsh.

      What in the world did I do to indicate I had "malicious" intent with my post? Just so I am clear, I am not allowed to post any articles dealing with gender?

      Or is this more because my post generated comments exposing a clear bias and you don't want your site to be seen that way?

      I am genuinely not seeing what I did wrong. All I am taking away from this is, don't post new topics.
