“Being a leftist is a calling, not a career; it’s a vocation, not a profession. It means you are concerned about structural violence, you are concerned about exploitation at the work place, you are concerned about institutionalized contempt against gay brothers and lesbian sisters, hatred against peoples of color, and the subordination of women. It means that you are willing to fight against, and to try to understand the sources of social misery at the structural and institutional levels, as well as at the existential and personal levels. That’s what it means to be a leftist; that’s why we choose to be certain kinds of human beings.”

My white friend needs some support because she’s dating a guy who is racist and sexist all at once but who is sdort of trying to change but…
Ever read Communion by bell hooks? She has a lot of insights into being in a relationship with someone who is sexist, but ultimately what I took from is is that you can’t really change someone for them or be their moral keeper. Its not your duty or obligation to fix him.
My current boyfriend has been super cool about educating himself and listening about feminism, but its something he decided to do on his own. He’s a man of colour as well so I too had to educate myself and learn how to see racism even when its subtle. Neither of us are perfect but we have a lot of trust in each other that if the other says something problematic or doesn’t see a problem, neither of us gets defensive, we listen.
Awesome post.

- then George Zimmerman, charged with murder for the shooting of Florida teen Trayvon Martin, has long claimed he acted in self-defense. Central to his argument, he says that Martin attacked him on the ground, making him fear for his life.
- nowWhile how the incident began is…
Right? According to stand your ground law, wouldn’t Martin have been in the right to kill Zimmerman and not the other way around?
