Too Funny! Reminds me of the San Mateo Cat Shelter where one of the cats loves to sleep on top of the laster printer where the paper comes out... - Greg Lato

Madness? THIS. IS. FAX CAT. - Mike Nayyar
Well 452 likes is the record, hmm I think that is pushing it. ;-) - Kol Tregaskes
Awesome. - Alex Scoble
this is underfaksink at its worzt - Petr Buben
Petr, I have no idea what you mean, but thank you. :-) - Kol Tregaskes
@Kol .. :] that, partially, might have been the purpose.... I don't know it exactly either. :] .. was I reflecting on a cat under the fax, and that it is hard to fax that way ... /?:] ... "underfaxing at its worst" .. - Petr Buben
Ah, OK, Petr. :-) - Kol Tregaskes
there ya have me ! :] .... see, to be honest with you, i saw this pic couple days ago, but i let it go, without posting it ..... what does that make me? :] - Petr Buben
OMGosh, just 23 more likes to beat this: http://beta.friendfeed.com/imified... ;-) - Kol Tregaskes

Freemor, yes very cute! :-D - Kol Tregaskes

that's why is called a cat scan and not a cat fax. - Phil Maxwell
oh ... a scan. not fax?! .... it looked to me like she was faxink - Petr Buben
Just 5 more likes needed. ;-) - Kol Tregaskes
Try rolling the cat through a press first. Flat cats fit into the fax easier. - Bob Blunk
Fax, Petr. :-) - Kol Tregaskes
even a flat cat... faxes just can't handle the hair. You'd have to shave the cat first, else the hair will burn and stick to the drum... a mess! (I am extrapolating from transparencies, mind, i don't have access to a cat to test) - Joelle Nebbe (iphigenie)
Hehe, Joelle. This is now tied for the 'likes' top stop. One more then, hehe. :-) - Kol Tregaskes

Bloody marvelous, Kol. Wish I could like it again... too cute (and help u to 500 likes). - Roberto Bonini
I couldn't believe it when I logged on from the morning over posting it and saw it was at something 200 likes! You all have a strange fetish with cats and fax machines, hehe. ;-) - Kol Tregaskes
Am I the only one who saw this and their first thought was - My goodness did someone break that cats neck? It still freaks me out a little - Steve C
Steve, it does look a little out of place, but cats are pretty bendy. ;-) - Kol Tregaskes
They fax much better if you flatten them first. What? - Kevin Pedraja
LOL, Kevin. - Kol Tregaskes
i can also imagine the cat going there cause it is snug and warm - Joelle Nebbe (iphigenie)
Ey, it would be a tad warm on there, especially after a long working day. ;-) - Kol Tregaskes
Caption which needs to be said aloud: Uh Ohz, I'm totally FAXED! - sofarsoShawn
Hehe, Shawn. 10 more for the big 5-0-0. :-) - Kol Tregaskes
Countdown! 8 more now! - Mike Nayyar

Admiral Anika
Thinking of breeding really tiny men, with 7" tongues who can live under your desk on minimal food. Need a Web 3.0 name though.
uhm. what? - ♥patricia♥
Like pocket Hobbits. - Admiral Anika
7" tongues, eh? Whatever for? *inno* - Michael W. May
are those anything like pocket rockets? - ♥patricia♥
Kinda, but better. - Admiral Anika
Need some seed money? ;) - ♥patricia♥
Yep! Lab costs and the breeding program are going to be $$$. - Admiral Anika
Can I be a beta tester? - ♥patricia♥
Sure, you can! - Admiral Anika
Actually, on second thought, I'll wait till you have the kinks ironed out. - ♥patricia♥
This thing gender-constrained, or could the process be extended to tiny buxom women as well? [I have a name, but first let my lawyers talk to your lawyers]. - ianf ⌘
As Mona puts it, "lolwut?" - Andrew Trinh
I thought this all about the kinks - Michael W. May
well, there are kinks and there is kinky. one is preferable, the other not so much. you decide which is which. - ♥patricia♥
Then before you know it, they'll form a union for vag lickers - Rodfather
That's okay. I'm 100% pro-Union. - Admiral Anika
Single-sex unions are unconstitutional, unless you manage to suppress breeding of these Tiny Buxom Ones™ as well. But then you're in for all kinds of other trouble, just so you know it! - ianf ⌘
LMAO :-D - Anna Haro
I keep trying to think of a name but get...sidetracked by the thought of the process. TBOs for me, please. - CAJ, somewhere else
Heres an idea for a name: "LAP" Of course you should point it's only in beta. - Paul from twhirl
LOL @Paul. - Admiral Anika
Does it have to be men? - CW™
No not really, but women will be in the beta. - Admiral Anika
can I be a beta-tester? :) - Sasha Kovaliov(.com)
Okay, Sasha. - Admiral Anika
No names yet? Hmmm.... Needfeed. Or Lickr for that retro 2.0 feel - Andy Bold
*dead* @Lickr - Admiral Anika
omg lickr. - DO ANYBODY NO MONIQUE
I have to cast my vote for Lickr. LOL Andy - nakachi
+10000 for lickr. - tiffany
How could it NOT be Lickr? I like the phrase "retro 2.0 feel" as well. - CAJ, somewhere else
tounglicious :) - Sasha Kovaliov(.com)
toungeeeeeee! (that's really old 1.0 :) - Sasha Kovaliov(.com)
"LAP" is an acronym which includes the word lick. - Paul from twhirl
Lickr FANTASTIC! - Manny
Can we get back to this idea of a union for vag lickers? 'Cause a bitch needs a roster. - nakachi
Think NOW and other fem-lobbies will silently stand by while your tiny women languish in perpetual beta? You don't know dick. - ianf ⌘
Hurry up. http://www.lickr.com/ still free but not for long. - ianf ⌘
Ladies, I hope being an avid lickr whose tongues are not 7" but talented, guys like us won't be forgotten. - Paul from twhirl
Of course not, Paul. The Lickrs will only live under the office desk. - Admiral Anika
Names....Qunnee? - Kris Roley
Ok, I'm scared. Lickr.com is showing me my own site. - Jimminy
You wouldn't bite my lawyer-assisted name/merger offer, so here goes: June 1st we're going online with a competitive service: DeLICKRous™ - like Kosmo's except for urgent on-site booty calls (volunteers of both sexes apply within). - ianf ⌘
Can you work on the prototype that also does housework and cooking while I am recovering? - Janet
Janet, I'm already married to him. - Admiral Anika
Okay, clone him for franchise sales. I'll order one pronto. - Janet
Had to bump this thread. It still makes me laugh. - Admiral Anika
Why we gotta be tiny and live under your desk? Just askin' - ha3rvey, not a sweetheart
I wouldn't want to bump my head on the bottom of a desk.. - David Gross from email
Because I spend most of my days sitting at a desk. *YOU* don't have to worry about anything since this is a future biological endeavor. - Admiral Anika
LOL - I wondered why this had popped up again. #UnintentionalDoubleEntendresFTW - Andy Bold
How far into the future we talking about? Cuz I need to make plans. - pea
Andy I was searching for something completely unrelated and this was one of 3 returns. I giggled. Pea, I have no idea. I need funding. =) - Admiral Anika
Pea, you need to plan a head? #coughs #ahem #nudgenudge - Andy Bold
Introducing the new iLIQ with downloadable motion sequences and a hundred and twelve intensity levels. - Slappy Line
LOL Slippy takes it :-D - Andy Bold from email
Who told you? lol - Slappy Line
Can we have options? Like can we have tiny women as well with 7" tongues and really, really long fingers? - cecily
I should withdraw from this discussion. 1: Definitely not tiny. 2: Minimal food? Right. Otherwise, CALL ME. - ha3rvey, not a sweetheart
o_O - Melissa
I too should withdraw from the discussion because I'm actually starting to wonder what processes would be involved in making mutant bonsai clone people for the purposes of destressing deskbound ladyfolk. - Slappy Line
Just had this picture of a tiny person under desk stabbing at hungry snarling cat with no2 pencil - WarLord

These are the pops that we bought today at Locally Grown Gardens market. Moxie is a really old brand (since 1884) and the flavor is hard to describe... you'll have to try it. - Kamilah Gill
I thought Moxie was a regional soda? Michigan? - Sue Radd
Moxie is awesome! - Michael McKean
They had the cool stuff in this market. So small and unassuming alongside the Monon. The internet helped me realize I was missing out on something. They play reggae in there. Such a nice little corner. I felt the same way when I found out about it, Dave. I was like, so *that's* what that little place is? - Kamilah Gill
Harold's got the link here: http://friendfeed.com/avandos... - Kamilah Gill
Sue, I think they may have imported the Moxie to Indiana from Michigan. We get Vernor's ginger soda here, too, and I've heard that that one is also from Michigan. Though the Moxie bottle says it was bottled in Atlanta by Monarch. - Kamilah Gill
Moxie is very popular in New England. I used to have a friend that would bring it back from trips to New Hampshire. - Michael McKean
I take that back, then. Maybe it's not from Michigan. - Kamilah Gill

I was trying to be nice by asking people what beverages they'd like to have at the July 4th event. I have no problem picking up different varieties of soda or beer. However, dear little brother, asking me to squeeze lemons so that you can have homemade lemonade is pushing it.
ROFL - Alex Scoble
That reminds me, I need to call my sister . . . . . - Chris Rogers
I'm already in charge of this much food prep - http://harmoniasnecklace.blogspot.com/2009... - so you can imagine how I feel about this additional request. His contribution - nada. I should probably note that my sister is also in charge of NOTHING for this little event, so it isn't necessarily a gendered thing. I'm good with food so I end up taking care of most of it. On the plus side, this means I have significant control over the menu. - Katy S
geesh. entitled much, your brother? - D0r0th34
I like to say he has YCOM Syndrome - Youngest Child Only Male. He's normally ok, but when it comes to things like this he doesn't help out much. He is good about helping with things that require muscle, though. - Katy S
HA, Katy! - Ayşe E.
I bought the lemons. I will be squeezing two cups of juice out of them for 1 gallon of lemonade. I will then offer the lemonade to the niece and nephews who will be arriving several hours before my dear little brother. I hope they drink it all. - Katy S
Pick up some more lemons and then tell Little Bro he can go squeeze 'em himself. *g* - D0r0th34
Time to start squeezing the lemons of the damned. - Katy S
Do they scream like little children? - D0r0th34
@Katy: in my wife's family they call this Little Emperor Syndrome. my brother-in-law hates this. :) - Joe Silence is not dead
It's more like I end up screaming. I just finished (10 lemons). I was thinking that he is the damned and that they are his lemons. Oh well, now comes the easy part - mixing it all up. - Katy S

Random fact: my Sports Basement visit on Sunday resulted in no standing tire pump. Why? They sold 30 of them in 1 day. I attribute this to record heat in SF and a warning that the next week would be "safe the air" days, meaning, everyone bikes to work. Still, seems odd.

Announcing that you're leaving a social network is essentially like telling the staff at Pizza Hut that you're not coming back and instead are going to Papa John's.
"Your pepperoni here sucks and makes me burp, so I'm not coming back. Don't try to stop me! Really! This is your last chance! I'll be across the street at the Papa John's. *closes door and re-opens* This is for good you know. I'm not coming back because this place sucks! Okay? Got that. Nothing you can say will stop me! *walks out and taps on glass window - faintly you can hear* I'm getting in my car now - really, this is it. Even if you run out now I'm not coming back." - AJ Kohn
Just. Go. - Derrick
@Derrick: Exactly! - AJ Kohn
Haha - Rodfather
This strongly reminds me of Winer crying the last few years now off and on and off and on again re: Twitter. "Acknowledge me or I'm leaving... Really, I'll do it! I swear! OK, one more chance! Don't make me do this! You'll regret losing me! I've done so much for you even though you never asked! You'll regret this! I'm going! Soon! Here I go! Eventually!"... I don't think any (typical) social network exists for fellating its users or otherwise stroking their massive(ly distorted) egos. As stated, Just. Go. - abacab
you obviously haven't been party to a message board where this person was a mod or admin. :P - Joe Silence is not dead
Right on AJ. Or kind of like telling that Pizza Hut store owner that you're going to the Pizza Hut 3 miles away. - Mike Reynolds
Oh god, the message board I admin for has like five of these people. And it's like they take turns during the year being the Drama Queen of the Week, posting threads threatening to leave and telling us how much the board sucks and how we all suck. BUT THEY'RE STILL THERE. *headdesk* - tinypants - Hagitha of FF
Amanda - your solution is only a banhammer away. - Sparky
I think it's more like announcing it to the patrons of the Pizza Hut. - ·[▪_▪]·
@Sparky, yeah, but banning people like that is just way too excessive an action. We reserve banning for really awful offenses. Banning for being a whiny brat just makes us look petty, not them. Besides, they're pretty damn entertaining, if I do say so myself. :D (we've gotten to a point where we just mock the shit out of them anytime one of those "Goodbye!" threads appear) - tinypants - Hagitha of FF
I don't like either Pizza Hut or Papa Johns. - Ian May
I really do like both Pizza Hut and Papa Johns. - Jannifer @wordsforliving
I went to a local Pizziera last evening, which makes home-made pizza from local produce. It's really good, and makes me like the greasy gunk chain pizza joints even less - Ian May

Joe Pierce
The secret to being smarter than you are, or at least appearing smarter than you are is surrounding yourself with people smarter than you estimate yourself to be. This is why I love FF. It lets me do that!
Well you've failed with me because, "I'm smarter than my brain." Actual quote from what I was thankful for in 4th grade. - Jimminy
Brains are overrated! - Joe Pierce
But I'm not a stripper, Joe. I need brains for stuff sort of like a zombie. - Jimminy
Pfft, just move to LA and start optioning remakes. I hear that nobody has tried to remake Pulp Fiction yet! - Joe Pierce
Give 'em time, Joe. They're working on remaking '70s movies at the moment. They'll get to Pulp Fiction soon enough. - Jandy, ConcertMaven of FF
70s? They Live is from 1988! - Joe Pierce
I was so flabbergasted I forgot to say what movie was from 88 at first. - Joe Pierce
So they may get to Pulp Fiction even sooner than I thought! :D - Jandy, ConcertMaven of FF
2014 - "There Will Be Pulp" - Jimminy
It'll be the movie that revives both Emma Watson and Zac Efron's careers. Just you wait until you see Zac trippin' on the herion, and Emma overdosing. Boreanaz may take on Butch. - Joe Pierce
Silly James. Your sum IS greater than your parts, even the brain part. :) - MiniMage TKDteacher of FF
MiniMage: The saddest part of that is that my brain came up with it and my body wrote it down. - Jimminy
Joe, are you suggesting that the male lead of "High School Musical" take that the same role in the film, that the male lead of "Grease" took. That would be to obvious and, thus, would never work. - Jimminy
except for the part where Grease is watchable. - Joe Pierce
But ok fine, we'll replace Zac Effron with the devil himself Shia LaBeouf - Joe Pierce
Justin Long as Vincent. - Jimminy
James, it seems like an exemplary display of teamwork to me! I think I'm drunk on ice cream. - MiniMage TKDteacher of FF
How about Terrence Howard as Jules? I'm trying to think of someone with a lot of acting talent and is a relatively decently known name. - Joe Pierce
I'll agree with you on Terrence Howard, be great to fill the role. - Jimminy
I'm not so sure I really do like David Boreanaz as Butch, any suggestions? - Joe Pierce
Shia LaBeouf as recommended by Sean for the role of Butch. - Jimminy
The only way to be smarter than you are is not be yourself. In a past life, as I recall, mushrooms helped. :) - jcunwired
JC, I dont' think I was on anything at the time I was 8. - Jimminy
If I'm involved int he movie, and Shia is involved in the movie Shia has to be someone who is going to get killed dead. Shia could be Zed maybe. - Joe Pierce
In a past life I was royalty. - Joe Pierce
Or we could just have a Geriatric Pulp and use the same cast. - Jimminy
o.O Our catch will be we reunite the "surviving" members to sit around an tell the stories to each other! I totally didn't misspell "surviving" the firs time. - Joe Pierce
LOL that would be great. Oh I just realized 2014 will be the 20th Anniversary - Jimminy
Maybe it will just have a re-release to Theaters, which would be awesome. - Jimminy
That will be the lead in for our new uber awesome nothing could go wrong version. - Joe Pierce
Joe, the movie would be horrible if nothing went wrong, you lose every plot from the movie if something doesn't get effed along the way. It would be pretty interesting Pulp Fact, nothing actually goes wrong. - Jimminy
And somewhere along the lines between me and yourself, we managed to derail this topic. - Jimminy
We are in charge of this thing, if we don't call it awesome no one will go see it. Uwe Boll sells tickets because he lies to the audience about his greatness. - Joe Pierce
Here is what I have so far. Justin Long as Vincent Vega, Terrence Howard as Jules Winnfield, Alan Tudyk as Ringo, Eliza Dushku as Yolanda, James Kyson Lee as Lance, Rober Downy Jr. as Butch, Samuel L Jackson as Marsellus Wallace, Wyatt Cenac as Marvin, Maribel Verdú as Fabienne, Maggie Gyllenhaal as Jody, Emma Watson as Mia Wallace - Joe Pierce
tossed in a coupla curve balls. - Joe Pierce
Ooh, I'll see any movie with Alan Tudyk, Eliza Dushku, Robert Downey Jr., OR Maggie Gyllenhaal. All of them together? Instant classic. - Jandy, ConcertMaven of FF
OMG, Joe that is the perfect cast. - Jimminy
We need to get Tarantino's ass on the phone stat! Also I didn't mention it before but the moment you said Samuel L. Jackson as Marsellus Wallace I could think of no one else. It just makes perfect sense. - Joe Pierce
Jandy, my next step is to develop a spinoff/prequel of Ringo (Tudyk) and Yolanda (Dushku)'s exploits pre-Jules incident? You in? - Joe Pierce
Indeed, he'd probably get pissed, because he's all about classics. We need to write a similar script and use this cast. - Jimminy
I guess our main option is to call Tarantino and wait for him to say, "What?" - Jimminy
Check out the brain on Joe! - Adrian
Its all how we spin it. We won't call it a remake, or a re imagining. We'll call it an old school, grindhouse style movie ripoff. He'll go for that. - Joe Pierce
He may be all about classics, but he's also all about homaging/referencing/pastiching/ripping off the classics. So all you need to do is...damn it, what Joe just said. He types more faster. - Jandy, ConcertMaven of FF
Now I really want to see this film. - Jimminy
One way or the other it would be Legendary! ..Oh snap I just realized we need a name for Buddy holly, the waiter. NPH!! - Joe Pierce

That second tweet... classic but lacking class. Discuss. - Louis Gray
Classic as in typical? - cecily
Classic as in memorable? I hope not typical... or I have been shielded from this typicality my whole life. - Louis Gray
I thought classic as in typical or common. If I'm not mistaken, the "lock the car door's kids" was such a common refrain at one point that it was a joke in National Lampoon's Vacation. - Jason Toney
Ah. And I've been a witness to that typicality almost my whole life. Interesting that we have two such completely different experiences. - cecily
Cecily, don't want to suggest I'm 100% naive. I just try to limit my exposure to people who would act this way. - Louis Gray
I hate the jews, just the other day I was asking why Jeff Goldblum was a trending topic. - Andrizzle Gizzle
I didn't take it that way, Louis. We're cool. :) - cecily
I thought "classic" was more like so prevalent as to be forever known. I don't recall Lampoon's, but I fairly howled when I saw the frantic door-locking in Weird Al's "White and Nerdy." - MiniMage TKDteacher of FF
This is sad, depressing and entertaining all at the same time. Do people really lead such sheltered lives? - Tsega Dinka
Sorry, I honestly don't get it. Why are you sure all those comments are racist? Like the tweet by miamismartgirl above -- maybe she honestly didn't know there is BET award going on. And looking at _some_ of the tweets at the Tumblr site, maybe those people really don't care about R&B and rap, not that they hate black people. - Andre P. Siregar
Andre, has someone said the comments were racist (although there are several that clearly show some extreme prejudice)? The point of the site, I believe, is to showcase that there are lots of folks who believe there's a certain kind of way Twitter (and extrapolate that out to the internet, their neighborhood, or as several suggest by their own tweets, the world) should be and that does... more... - Jason Toney
Some of those tweets are racist and wrong yes, but others like the one in the picture might as well just be someone interested in Jamie Foxx and not knowing why hes trending. Stop looking for people who might hurt you, wait until they actually do and you will have a much happier life. - Rasmus Lauridsen
Jamie Foxx tweet is not dangerous, but most of the others are. - Burcu Dogan
I wouldn't call any of the tweets dangerous... silly, misguided, ignorant, whatever... honestly, not worth giving a tweet about. IMO... :D - Bette Cooper
For many, this is what I call latent racism born from ignorance. They don't consider the statements derogatory or demeaning, because they haven't been outside their bubble to know any better. The television and films I grew up, and people still grow up with for the most part, reinforce that. It's ignorance but it is not an excuse once you are forced to acknowledge it by being able to... more... - Michael W. May
No Way! - Kevin J Hatton
Rasmus, yes that's what I'm saying. Jason, to me it seems like the site is too quick to label people. The site displays real twitter IDs, and it could possibly be that some of those people are not prejudice at all. - Andre P. Siregar
Did someone comment and say that they hated jews? I will clean out my ears as I think they must be defective. - Kevin J Hatton
............or at least get an appointment with an optician! - Kevin J Hatton
In a few decades more, perhaps, Mark. Only a few decades ago we were still hosing people down in the street. I'd love to magically make everyone understand each other, but it is a slow process. - Michael W. May
Are you sure there's a connection between the two tweets? Or else the whole thing falls apart IMO. I'd also like to offer the suggestion that the second tweet was a joke much like in National Lampoon which was mentioned earlier here too. I'm the first to call someone out on racism, but I live in a socialdemocratic Scandinavian country where the political correctness has been on insane... more... - Thomas Bøhm from BuddyFeed
haha. my reaction the awards was disinterest. Trending topics on twitter has been dominated by entertainment lately, and twitter has become a far less interesting service to me as a result. But I'm just one user. There's more than racial sensitivity going on with "highlighting the reaction to the BET awards" with the site, in my opinion. Most of the comments are not about "omg black... more... - motownmutt
Site seems gone now? - s t e v e
Jason, yes, the whole site was created to call out people and imply their racism. Some of the tweets were horrible, but some of them, like the one above, just weren't. Someone who hadn't seen or read about the BET drama with Foxx might have thought about the other very recent celebrity trending topics, and their first conclusion may have been that he died. And my post about Goldblum was... more... - Andrizzle Gizzle
I think there's a lot of assumption in presuming that all the tweets that were collected on the site were meant to "imply racism". Several, like the Jamie Foxx one above, showcased cultural difference and I don't think there was any other implication intended. Although, I must say, I don't want to get into defending a site I have no ownership/allegiance to and that currently is down. I'm more curious about the why of the more egregious reactions which MwM talked to eloquently. - Jason Toney
omgblackpeople.tumblr.com was removed by Tumblr because Tumblr doesn't allow "hate speech" - tiffany
So what's hateful? The tweets, or the posting of the tweets? My head hurts. - cecily
LMAO - Amir
@Cecily - I think we're not supposed to notice when people are being unintentionally racist (or intentionally). They think it's like reverse discrimination or something. Given all of the ignorant rolling around, I'm sure that's some of the logic there. - Jennifer Dittrich
I'm going to start using reverse reverse discrimination. That'll teach 'em. - cecily
i'm with you C. i guess the posting of the tweets wasn't seen as racist rather than calling folks out for their bullshit. - tiffany
I figure it falls into "turnabout is fair play" when discriminating against racists. - Jennifer Dittrich
from the omgblackpeople twitter account: http://twitter.com/omgblac... - tiffany
Pointing out people sounding racist is ok. But reading into peoples intentions especially online where all you have to go by is a little 140 char text is not the best of ideas. Yes some of them directly sound racist, so go tell the person that they sounded racist. But on your way there you might want to check out this video ( http://www.youtube.com/watch... ) But the one you see up top on this list, can be read in a multitude of ways and none of them racist in my opinion. (The Foxx one) - Rasmus Lauridsen
This is one reason I stopped using Tumblr after a pretty short time. IIRC, there was no easy way to export content, so if they make an odd decision like this and nuke your account, you got nuthin. - s t e v e
I love it when people try to teach me about racism. Seriously - there is just so much I didn't know. - cecily
And FWIW, when I saw the site and made this post last night, I didn't see any explicitly racist tweets posted there. What I saw in abundance was ignorance, and people's inability to understand that the online experience is very rarely as "universal" as they'd like to believe. - cecily
I'd also like to point out that the word "racist" wasn't kicked out in this thread by someone of African American descent. Until that point there was a pretty nuanced conversation happening about prejudice and privilege. The site itself didn't even use the word "racist". - Jason Toney
What Jason said. But you know, in a way this thread is as pure a representative of the OMGBLACKPEOPLE phenomenon as anything posted on that site. - cecily
Actually, FWIW, I believe we all have plenty to learn about racism, no matter our color, sex, or creed. So being open when someone offers another take on what you know is, actually, a good thing. After all, isn't one of the methods of fighting ignorance and racism teaching, and learning from that teaching? Exposure to new ideas, ways of thinking? Or maybe I have that backwards... - Bette Cooper
Suffice it to say, a lot of those tweets are racist according to certain academic definitions of racism, which may or may not coincide with your own personal definition.
