Are you not not going to watch the Oscars this year?

[Ms Harmless]

normalizing violence against a black man in a room full of white people post-george floyd is not ok, and seems pretty inconsistent w my vague notions of your politics, harmless

we're not talking about white violence against Black men

love how Will Smith's Blackness *and* Jada's Blackness is being erased here to defend a guy whose LOLs we crave

love how you’re erasing assault against a black man on television!

by a black man!!!!!

normalizing the assault & oppression of black men, by thomas jefferson or clarence thomas, is not ok. never took you for a reactionary

I honestly don't think Will smacking Chris Rock is "normalizing the oppression of Black men" but OK

flatten the complex of racial dynamics by invoking celebrity. now who is the class reductionist

my point is that Black men don't further the oppression of other Black men; but they can further the oppression of Black women and that is the only power differential in effect here

[Mickey]

Now who's the reductionist.

I feel like this is what happens when people are trying to make things about race rather than seeing actual racism. But what do I know?

shit have I lost the game

I wonder what my Uncle Tom has to say about this

[Ms Harmless]

Now who's the reductionist.

still you

[tree_]

There's nothing more racist than determining an entire personhood based on skin color

[Mickey]

Now who's the reductionist.

still you

Oh is that so?

that is the only power differential in effect here

[Bammer]

Incredible thread. 53 pages in only 3 days. Wow!

By the way that Will Smith thing was total scripted to create buzz around an otherwise dead Oscars. You fools have obviously taken the bait.

[Malloy]

surprised that hasn’t come up


why should we take any of this seriously

[Malloy]

do we know what the ratings were last year?

[BurtReynolds]

I will not be participating in any further Oscars discourse.

[Ms Harmless]

Now who's the reductionist.

still you

Oh is that so?

you do know that "class reductionist" means something specific, right? it doesn't just mean you can write short sentences

Please read more carefully.

colour-blindness isn't anti-racist

seems like posters like you and harmless and Burt don’t want to see what’s right in front of you. typical online right wing hijinks

Who is RM's Diddy? Who shall broker the truce between tree and Ms. Harmless?

it's also not necessarily racist, while the former definitely is
