You may know that I am tracking the term/concept "microaggression." Therefore, I must point out this Buzzfeed article: "19 LGBT Microaggressions You Hear On A Daily Basis."
I'm starting to feel like pointing out a microaggression is a microaggression.

«Oldest ‹Older 201 – 228 of 228And the peals of laughter echo through the halls of Meadhouse as a three line post meant to spark a discussion on the poor, butthurt LGBT community slides over 200 comments on the backs of a race-baiting parody account and the white folks who continue to respond to him about which race is more to blame for all the ills of the world.
Pee Wee Herman ably summed up the content of this thread when he delivered one of the most famous lines of his career: "I know you are, but what am I? HAHA!"
It is to laugh and I thank you all for the many I have had following this comment thread.
I know that Althouse likes to keep Crack around, so she can claim to have one black friend despite living in lilly white Madison, but I'm surprised she is putting up with his nonsense on this particular thread.
Isn't this supposed to be for "teh gays" to whine and complain?
Or is there something I don't know about Crack?
6. Everyone starts saying racist things about black people.
This where your analysis fails, John. And while do agree that it is intentional on Crack's part, I'd add that Althouse encourages this and that Meade subsidizes Crack. I've never heard a denial on their part.
I continue to be amused by the evolution of Althouse's definition of "good faith" and also her deletion policy.
> Crack is proven right.<
that it is a black racist
to crack: what about black peeps killing the white peeps. you be silent?
Revenant, the biggest divides in whether people view homosexuality as "always wrong" or whether they favor gay marriage are age related. The older you are, the less likely you are to approve of homosexuality or gay marriage.
David, here is the question you asked:
Who says that blacks are anti gay?
So I answered, pointing out that multiple studies have shown that homophobia is more common among black Americans than white Americans.
Here are some questions you did NOT ask, and which unlike the one you DID ask would actually be related to your point about age and homophobia:
What is the most homophobic demographic in America?
Who says old people are anti-gay?
Is there a correlation between age and attitudes towards homosexuality?
And so on. Try to stay on-topic, kiddo.
Do you see blacks on anti gay crusades? I don't.
Argumentum ad ignorantium fallacy.
You'll consider any scenario - including I'm a raving racist instead of the artist some of you have known for years
Actually we pretty much knew you as "that guy who keeps ranting about how new age thinking is the root of all evil". :)
Here's the progression.
1. Crack posts a series of racist comments.
Fixed that for ya.
6. Everyone starts saying racist things about black people.
Really? What was the racist comment you made about black people?
Do some people respond to his racism with racism of their own? Sure. Who cares?
Crack - fuck off with your victim-mania.
I'd say so, if you care so little - white disinterest has been a topic around here. I mean, how white Americans - with this history of betrayal - can decide, over and over again, not to give a damn?
Yeah, makes you look like Nazis.
Crack - you really are a sad fucking puppy.
If there is any collective responsibility for slavery in America, Republicans paid the debt in full on the battlefields at Bull Run, The Wilderness, Spotsylvania, Cold Harbor and Chickamauga.
You have a problem with the Democrat party. Not us.
I'm with Bill Cosby. Who would tell Crack to pull his head out of his ass.
Answer to microagression is the microapology.
It's The Crack Show!!
Countless hours of unintentional comedy.
(Not to mention the irony that goes completely over his head!)
"Microaggression" is what liberals call the projection of their paranoid insecurities onto other people's actions, where they cannot show by even the flimsiest evidence that anything objectionable was actually said or done.
Like, a point I made on my blog today is how whites can be racist while thinking they're being NICE to someone...
This is so totally true! In fact, it's important to note that using the word "racist" here is incredibly limiting. There are all sorts of horrible effects of actions taken on behalf of good intentions.
I'm also certain that if I thought about it often enough, I could come up with all sorts of micro-aggressions directed at me.
6. Everyone starts saying racist things about black people.
Everyone? Nonsense. I see a couple of people toying with crack by posting over the top racist responses. I would not assume that they are doing anything but toying with crack out of annoyance at his far more egregious and over the top racialism.
7. Crack is proven right.
No, he isn't. As soon as he dumped everyone in an eclectic online community into one 'all whites are racists and denying it just proves it because I say so' bucket he lost all credibility.
I do not come to althouse to read conversations dominated by crack. If I wanted that I would visit his blog. I don't visit his blog.
"Think that might be the point of the exercise? Exposing what we really feel?"
Crack pretty much said it was all performance art a couple of days ago.
Assuming that's the case, then like most bad artists, he appears to think that good intentions are more important than abysmal execution.

Mr. Cosby says some surprising things. He might surprise you on this one.
Another thread ruined by crack addiction.

I know this blog belongs to AA, but I vote Crack gets banned.
The topic of discussion was "microagression," but 99.9% of the thread is about over the top black on white aggression. And pretty stupid aggression. Hijack.
Cracka lacka macka, crackas
I vote Crack stays. He's a master of self-parody. But it's Althouse's party and she can cry if she wants to.
GOOD DAY, SIRS!
LET THE GAMES BEGIN!
Very disappointed. The headline implied the microaggressions would be committed by LGBT folks. Now that would've been transgressive.
O.K., I know I've already produced one list of black inventions tonight, so you're done.
Your list is complete bullshit.
Fernandinande,
Your list is complete bullshit.
With that name and avatar, you should talk.
