Never delete. Always makes things worse.

This is a proven track record we are dealing with here, not allegations.

repost the Turtleboys. That really bolsters the credibility of your argument.

Okay, fine. Here is the same set of facts, written all word-salad-like to protect those unfortunate human snowflakes who wear panties that tend to bunch:

A term made popular by aficionados of treasonous scumbags who can't stop whining incessantly like the traitorous bitch he is?

Nice try.

Though probably not for very long. I grabbed a copy, and would be happy to send it to anyone who wants to rehost it and keep it permanently available:

Also, part of the discussion was hosted by Disqus and still available there.

From the link:

I am distressed by the nature of these allegations, which reflect a society where sexist and abusive behavior has gone unchecked for far too long, and powerful white men have eluded condemnation or prosecution for their actions.

I wouldn't hire that racist clam or anyone who dared associate themselves with it.

It should be lucky the thread was pulled.

I do not see anything in that paragraph that is racist. You can agree with it or disagree with it, but let's not call it something that it isn't.

BUT BUT BUT REVERSE RACISM

Though the astounding irony is Mr. Callseveryoneasnowflake got triggered the fuck out at the "white men" part that he completely missed the point that it's white men in power--be it in banks that collapse the financial industry, or those who talk about sexually assaulting women but still get elected president--that have historically been teflon when its come to paying for their crimes. THAT was the point, not an attack on their race.

issued by a young woman who apparently just got out of college and now has to start her nascent career by trying to walk the tightrope between pleasing the art snobs who will hopefully keep her employed and the white money men who donate that she can't stand in print, but kiss their asses anyways at functions.

Throwing in a little charge of racism to cover for your embarrassment always helps too.

Or am I wrong?

If you think that snowflakes are weak, where were you in February of 2015?

As a Mass Art Alum I witnessed Nixon with an assortment of young, pretty, undergraduate women and him hitting on them all the time. His behavior in the early 1990s was well known, and frankly creepy.
Back then he was a "famous" photographer and a full-time faculty member making him untouchable.
