La Lioness Priyanka's JournalI blame those of you who deny the influence of race and gender on the lives of women and POC
for what happened to me last week.
A recap of what happened can be found in the AA forum, but in case you missed it, here is what happened
So I've had quite the post racial day [View all]
I woke with a troll demanding an apology to white men on du on my private email address
Followed by a demand to delete a thread of mine with my phone number attached. Which I complied with because I didn't want crazy crank calls.
Then I received this message 'In future though, don't fuck with white men. Don't post anything negative about white men. Don't talk about white privilege, because there's no such
thing as white privilege. The bullshit and hate speech that white men have
to listen to on DU will no longer be tolerated. Things are going to
change. You can warn the rest too, because they're no longer anonymous
either.'
So I'm thinking we should have a conversation about the level of privilege you have in society where you feel entitled to stalk someone and then instruct them about what they can and cannot discuss publicly
All of you who deny race in multiple aspects of life, whether it be the fact that the large number of trolls on the internet are white men who stalk women and minorities, who deny the existence of discrimination in police practices and hiring, who deny the importance of the black vote, create a climate that allows this to occur in.
The next time you deny the existence of white privilege or male privilege, remember you side with the fucking trolls of the world. Congratulations to you.

Notice when he wins, even though polls indicated he might not
No one is talking about fraud and cheating and how much the democratic primary rules suck.
Because men earn what they get, the rest of us clearly can only win by cheating the system.
