I am currently a Philosophy Phd Candidate at Indiana University, Bloomington. I graduated from Brandeis University Magna Cum Laude in 2012, where I majored in Philosophy and minored in French and Politics. After working full-time as a higher education administrator at Emerson College and Harvard University, I returned to school, receiving my MA in Philosophy from Tufts University in 2016. At IU Bloomington I have continued my studies in philosophy while achieving a Phd minor in Higher Education and Student Affairs and a certificate in College Pedagogy

So, basically, she has no skills and is worthless. Therefore, she conjures bullshite to foist on other skilless folks in order to appear to be doing something of note. In actuality, she'd be doing more for the world as a counter server at Starbuck instead of spreading this foolishness.

Author of said article isn't even black. Why does she get a say over what is offensive to black people.

---

She's a woke liberal white woman. Black people are always supposed to listen to them. They know what's best for black people.

It is comical to me to see stuff like that.

I can’t imagine going through life and trying so hard to always be a victim.

I just can’t seem to wrap my head around living life always looking for something to call racist

Surprise, Surprise



It’s ALWAYS some white, liberal scum behind racist garbage like this.

This is how the almighty woke and self righteous Savannah Pearlman felt after writing that “article”

And there you are! The 3W. “White Woke Woman” that is an Educator and I use that word lightly. Scourge of the earth.

My research interests in philosophy center on normative epistemology, prioritizing the testimony of marginalized people

---

"normative epistemology" - - Is that the same as "my truth" studies?

And, I'm sorry, Honey, but "prioritizing the testimony of marginalized people" MAY be something , but philosophy it ain't.

Does it involve determining who gets to speak first among marginalized people? Or rather putting marginalized people's testimony before non marginalized people, thus making the non marginalized people the new marginalized? Or maybe it's figuring out precisely in what order EVERYONE gets to testify.

This chick has a lot of work to do. She's basically God!

So a white person cant pay tribute to a funny black person by using his/her likeness?

I don't think it's a huge problem, but I don't like it, either. Difficult to discuss anything online without shite devolving into a bunch of "finna" and "****," and you just know it's coming from suburban white kids (childhood extending to ~30 now).

Don't really care what Black people think about it, but I wish there weren't so many White kids who aren't comfortable in their own skin.

I think part of the irony is a lot of people are using these memes to try to look cool or act approachable to minorities. I don't see it as disrespect. More of a form of tribute to feel like they fit in or are being more inclusive.
