babble is rabble.ca's discussion board but it's much more than that: it's an online community for folks who just won't shut up. It's a place to tell each other — and the world — what's up with our work and campaigns.

I love resist racism's blog.

Quote:

Dear White People:

If we happen to be having a Very Serious Discussion about racism, please refrain from telling me the following:

Quote:

Well, I guess I'm just an optimist.

This ranks right up there with telling me that you guess you don't see race, that you're reasonable and rational, that of course you can take a joke, ad nauseum.

But let me address this particular crap pile of bullshit putdown. What makes you think I'm not a fucking optimist? I mean, I am talking to you. And I seem to be continually surprised by cluelessness and stupidity and ignorance and privilege.

Also, I get up in the morning. And I do it all over again every day. If that's not optimism, I don't know what is.

Oh yes I am

Heart!
