so i guess OWS (or whoever posted that list since everyone’s all “OWS is decentralized! that list isn’t representative of OWS!!!11!!!1!) got hip to the fact that there were no people of color on their “essential reading list.” and this is what they had to say in response:

Why no authors of color on the Primer List?
• No reason whatsoever. We wanted to be blind to the “color”, religion, gender, culture, socio-economic status, etc. of all the authors, as content is king for this site’s objective. While the messenger must always be considered, the message/information trumps priority of the writer’s personal background. Many authors of all creeds will be included in the future, surely. Not because of the color of their skin, but the content of their writings.

there aren’t enough side eyes in the world for this whitesplaning racist circular logic ass bullshit.

i’ll say it again: FUCK OWS. with a rusty hepatitis-infected saw.

today in “not racist but…” news…

Wow. Piss me the fuck off even more. I wrote a comment on their page but it’s awaiting “moderation”. They probably won’t even print it. They basically said only white people have written the kind of content we want but it’s not about race. Just content. The usual colorblind language of your words aren’t as worthy. 

I find it hilarious that the message they essentially chose was that all those marginalized people are going to stay marginalized without white saviors who are generous enough to share with them. Gee, where have I heard that one before?

Well.

the bold is the only important part, really

Jesus god color blind what are you doing? That’s like the more psudo PC “I’m not racist but,”
