Urban v's the Commentariat

Sorry, I obviously didn't explain that very well. I'm the one who's supposed to make legal threats.

Twitter must have a very short attention span, I probably only done about 20 tweets, most of them about farting :(

In all seriousness though, welcome - my initial comments were a (probably not very funny) reference to what happened when another twitter commentator turned up. (I assume you're a member of the intersectional twitter milieu anyway. I might be wrong though because, and please don't take this the wrong way, I've never heard of you before). Please do try and see past the abraisive posting style some of us have - we are a bit set in our ways when it comes to that - but if you stick around and engage with us you might like it, and come to realise that although most of us don't have much time for twittersectionalism that doesn't mean we're not strongly committed to ending the oppression that it attempts to deal with. Who knows? We might all even learn something. I've only read your first few posts plus the reply to me so it might have gone downhill since but you already appear to be making a better effort at actually talking to us than certain other commentators have when they've turned up.


well said.
 
Dangerous Minds. Michelle Pfiefer. Notable only for the use of Coolio's cover of stevie wonders 'past time paradise' (reworked as gangsters paradise)

any more for any more?

187 was the best one

Admittedly Samuel Jackson was the white girl, it's still awful though, the American school system
 
Well it's wrong on their part to be so hostile, but just like with anyone I don't think people on here engage very well

It doesn't benefit anyone to go on like this, of course these people have wrongheaded ideas but it's not really helping to win forum arguments with them

I'm not up for simply releasing the hounds on them, either. By all means let's go for decent debate. But I've asked this one several times, politely, to back up her suggestion that skin colour and veracity are linked and have yet to be answered. That's hardly meaningful engagement, is it?

But it's not going to happen on a forum. This is a thread set up to attack people like her, I was going to say it's confusing why she showed up but then I showed up and it's not even about me

You could email her or something, a decent discussion on a political BBS is more optimistic than Martin Luther Kings most optimistic dreams
 
The Wizard of Oz, with Sam as Dorothy, butchers as the scarecrow, you as the tin man, and phil as the cowardly lion.

the rest of us can be munchkins, to match our intelletual capabilies. laurie penny can be the wicked witch, helen lewis as the wizard of oz.

who gets to be glinda the good? fabulous dresses
 
My housemate is Bangladeshi, my other housemate is from Cumbria. We all live in the same house that's falling apart, all work similar hours, we shop at the same shops and sometimes eat the same food.

I don't know what the others would say but in terms of whose experience is closer to mine out of my housemates and say David Aaronovitch I think I would say that my housemates experience are closer. Someone like that may have experienced racism but to some extent their class position is such,that it doesn't matter any more. If I have a racist boss I may well have to put up with it until I get another job (which may be never) if David aaronovitch has a racist boss he can write about it in the guardian, its not exactly rocket science is it?

It wasn't a discussion.
