I love the idea of a revolution. We talk about it in Women's Studies, as if this is the ultimate goal we're working towards. A revolution. This is my own spirituality

I never know what to say in response to your posts, so I generally don't comment. :P But I seriously hate it when people say oral sex isn't sex.
Recently though, I had an awesome conversation with a couple of straight girls where I was able to get them to think a little more broadly. They asked me my definition of sex (which is the intention of at least one of the involved parties achieving orgasm). One of the girls started to ask how I knew I was a lesbian if I didn't always get off with a woman, but she stopped herself partway through, realising that she doesn't always get off with a gay but that fact doesn't change the fact she knows she's straight.
It was pretty sweet, being able to do that. lol /two cents
No problem! When people ask me what my definition of sex is, I never really know how to respond, haha. But I like your answer. Definitely. I mean, my roomate said something like... well I have a penis and places to put it, when speaking about straight and gay (male) sex. I said that many gay men don't even have anal sex. I showed him. haha.
And yes, it's stupid the ignorance of people... I guess you can't really blame them, but you know... get educated! haha.
Again, I have to repeat that racism is not impossible for non-white peoples to feel. There are places in the world in which caucasian people do not hold power over other races & yet there are power structures based on race that exist. This is not prejudice, this is racism. &, I'm afraid: because one group of dominant peoples came up w/the word does not mean that they are the only people that are able to feel it. Again, I would say, racism is based on hatred, hatred to the point that you feel that those you hate because of their race are something far less than human. This is not prejudice, prejudice is dislike, but not deep, passionate, dehumanizing hatred. & it is possible for anyone to feel that level of hate. I think that it is maybe even easier to feel that amount of hate towards a people that have displayed that level of hate towards you. If people treated you as less of a human being because of your sexuality, if they decided that you did not have the capacity to feel certain things or to think certain things based on a lifelong

This is the definition of racism that I was always turn to - the way that relations are organized so whiteness is percieved as normal (also, a system of exploitation based on skin colour). This is why I'm talking about semantics. Because that's just it. we could sit here and forever debate the word racism and what it means. Because I believe the word racism means that whiteness is power, black people, or people of a minority cannot be racist because racism means, at its very core, white superiority. That's what I'm trying to say... if that makes sense. Not that people cannot feel hatred.
I actually think that reverse racism is a racist term in itself. It was built out of a hatred of African American pride.
Reverse racism has nothing to do w/pride, it describes the compulsion on the part of people trying not to be racist to still engage in racist thinking and action via these attempts. So, lowering educational standards for African Americans is an example of reverse racism, as what may be claimed to be an equal opportunity action actually displays an implication that African Americans cannot intellectually compete w/caucasians. It has absolutely nothing to do w/pride, but instead is concerned not w/the victims of racism but w/those members of a majority that may be unintentionally being racist
