so, because I somehow volunteered to mod a comm that is about privilege issues, it made me go into the usenet archives for when i went crazy and started posting about privilege in a.m.t., and found the thread where I posted and defended the "invisible knapsack" list, and I was TOTALLY RIGHT about which ones of my friends had been in total denial about systemic racism to the point where I had to take a break. (waves at one of them) and goddamn, I used to have a lot of time to argue on the internet, and sounded like I really knew my shit, compared to my add/scattershot posting style these days.

then I just kept reading various old feminism/race/privilege arguments of AAAARGH from the a.m.t., and I really miss arguing with that particular group of stubborn buttmonkeys.

If you need back up, hun, let me know.

nah, I mostly enjoy those arguments and at least with the modding of this place, it's not like when it went down on a.m.t. and I suddenly realised that all of these people who were my friends just didn't fucking get it, and, I'll have modly powers, so if someone is too butt-ignorant, I can smackemdown.

*hands you sharp stick* if you poke yourself in the eye, you'll have something to compare the pain to.

I think you need a "stubborn buttmonkeys" icon.

Systemic racism is a myth. :P

[maevele.livejournal.com]

still?

[chris462.livejournal.com]

I don't doubt that wide-spread racism exists, but I still struggle with the "systemic" part.

Mostly, though, I'm just giving you shit. :P

Hai thar! jinnigan and I were talking about stuff for the comm on Google chat, and I made a post in my LJ specifically for the three of us to draft out new user info:

I'm gonna write a draft in the next 24 hours after the Super Bowl's over, unless you or J wanted to do something first. It should be more like dbwhite's, but not a ripoff or copypasta of it. Also, it needs to address the multi-layeredness of anti-sexism (addressing men/women, gay/bi/straight, and trans/cis). Any thoughts are welcome and encouraged! :)
