eijing asked: But when will white people realize it's not about them OH MY GOD. I'm getting a headache reading the responses you get.
curiousgali asked: Isn't it frightening to think about reworking an entire extremely flawed society? But I get what you're saying about working with people's unique traits in a way that isn't oppressive. Kind of reminds me of Audre Lorde's "The Master's Tools will Never Dismantle the Master's House" where in section she emphasizes the strength in and importance of...
curiousgali asked: I was looking at your tumblr description and noticed you were anarchist. What are your ideas on reconstructing society? I assume you're against hierarchical social constructs but, as you've said before, since we don't live in a vacuum and have been and are affected by our environment, how do you think it would be possible to get rid of hierarchical inclinations? Perhaps it would a...

Anonymous asked: I have a question and want to know your opinion on it. How does one deal with being around a group of black men who are intensely sexist and disrespectful/ignorant toward other POC cultures? I am a POC and often feel very uncomfortable around a group of guys like this that I have to work with. Should I tell them that they are being disrespectful or are their actions justified because of how...

Anonymous asked: Devil's advocate question here: let's say someone is a fan of strong melodic lines. Couldn't that person be justified in preferring more melody-based music to that of rhythmic spoken words? That is, nothing to do with the content of the words being spoken (or sung), just the method of delivery? Perhaps, in reality, any person who would make this claim is using is as a cover for...

Anonymous asked: I have a random question, if you don't mind. I'm a liberal POC and have a lot of same views about society as you. But my issue is, I have an interview with a big wall street investment bank tomorrow but I'm completely against all the bullshit they stand for. Am I betraying my own values and everything we stand for by interviewing with these bigoted, capitalist, assholes?

It won't in any way harm you, unlike white racism against us. Also, the simple answer to your obnoxious question is - SELF PRESERVATION. Distrust of white people is what gives us a chance of...

On Misogyny/Homophobia in Rap and White Feminism

Yesterday, I witnessed a discussion on my dashboard that centered, once again, around Tyler the Creator (of Odd Future) and indie rock artist Sara Quin (of Tegan and Sara.) This discussion was actually an extension of a conflict that had occurred between the two earlier in the year, when Quin wrote a post discussing Tyler’s copious use of the word “faggot”...

I wish that conversation KR and I had about the violent misogyny in punk rock had happened here instead of the Kpop blog. I mean, if you don’t know, you need to know, that shit is baaaaaad. Punk has to be the shittiest genre of music in that unlike most others genres, it claims to be progressive and radical and it is so fucking not, and white punks will attack anyone who dares to call the...
Anonymous asked: The fact that homophobia and misogyny has its basis in machismo, which whiteness is largely responsible for creating, does not excuse the people who perpetuate that homophobia and misogyny from doing so.

For the record
I do not like nor will I ever support Tyler The Creator. I don’t care for Nicki Minaj much, either.
But, as a queer Afro-Latina, I won’t sit there and watch white people sit there and SHIT on blackness and claim it’s in the name of queerness and feminism. I’ll become Tyler the Creator and Nicki’s most vociferous defender if I have to to prove that point.

Anonymous asked: Um, I don't like most rap music and one of my big issues with it IS that the lyrics are often misogynistic and/or homophobic. It's not my only issue with it, and it's not true of ALL rap music, but it does make me very uncomfortable when it's there. How is it racist for me to not want to listen to music that I feel is marginalizing me?

tonystarkoppa asked: People who say they hate rap music because of its misogynistic content and/or sexism are complete idiots and usually defend rock/pop/etc. Every genre of music is full of that shit, people are just so quick to defend their completely obvious racism. smh
