I think there's porn named that.
You like ships. You don't seem to be looking at the destinations. What you care about is the ships, and mine's the nicest.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Hence, the hell going.

When I lived in Cincinnati, there was a wickedly funny and sometimes deep column in the city paper called Your Negro Tour Guide (by a black woman, natch.)
LOVED that column.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Maybe it's just because I live in DC, but wealthy does not always equal white around here.
True around the northeast where I've lived! My ex boyfriend is black, but the real differences between us came from the fact that he grew up upper middle class in the suburbs and I grew up middle middle class in the city.

"Structural Racism" is probably the term Gudanov thinking of. Racism rather than discrimination, because the point is that it is something built into the system that perpetuates white supremacy without anyone having to consciously discriminate - that will continue simply by people doing nothing and will require positive action to change. The distinction between structural and individual racism is important because structural racism is much easier for white people to pretend does not exist when dealing with other white people.
I've heard the phrase "systemic racism" but "structural" is new to me.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Huh.
Girl aged 17 knifes 30 men to death
A GYMSLIP murderess aged just 17 was being held last night for knifing THIRTY men to death.
The schoolgirl stunned cops by owning up to a serial killing spree that started when she was a 15-year-old.
She told detectives she wanted to confess before she turned 18 and could be tried as an adult.
The girl - too young even to be named - said she began targeting men in her home city of Sao Paulo, Brazil "for money, revenge and to bring justice"
She even SMILED as she reeled off her list of victims - which is feared to make her the world's most prolific teenage serial killer. She calmly bragged to police: "I don't have enough courage to hold a gun - but I can hold a knife.
"I am confessing because I promised I would do so before becoming 18 - to avoid upsetting my family."

That's so...thoughtful of her?

I've heard the phrase "systemic racism" but "structural" is new to me.
I've always heard that concept described as "institutional racism". It was a big idea of Stokley Carmichael's work. (Stokley Carmichael was the name of my dad's dog when I was a wee little girl - he was a black lab and very, very radical as I recall)
