I somehow missed this one before, and it’s better than expected! Musically solid, though I’ve never been a fan of Laiho’s vocals.
So now I’m listening to some other covers mostly also collected on their Skeletons in the Closet, instead of getting ready to go grocery shopping like I need to 😊 Never been that big on COB, but some pretty amusing stuff.
White women have historically outsourced the violence they could not carry out themselves to control Black people and remain dominate. This trend(if you can call it that since it’s just now more publicized) is another step in the evolution of white women being demonic.
But racism is a white man thing right?
It’s not a new trend. I learned about this from an academic standpoint years ago. It’s a totem pole of privilege that also serves to pit those in the middle and on the bottom against each other so that those at the top remain in power. The idea is thus: if you’re poor, at least you’re not poor and black; if you’re a woman, at least you’re not a black woman. It nods at your privilege and strokes your ego while telling you that whatever is wrong, it could be worse. And instead of working to make things better for everyone lower on that pole than you, you should do your damnedest to keep (read: stay in) your place.
I love it when people try to claim representation in fiction is being taken “too far” to the point where it’s no believable. They’re like:
“What’s next, a mixed-race immigrant on the autism spectrum?” Hi, my name is Rachel, also known as Rachna, and I’m a mixed-race immigrant on the autism spectrum.
“What’s next, a transgender Latino man with chronic pain?” What, you mean my former colleague, Marco?
“What’s next, a Black Jewish lesbian?” Bitch, I know I three Black Jewish lesbians, WHAT’S YOUR FUCKING POINT?
im so tired of the argument being “what’s next? a feasible combination of human conditions other than straight white cis able-bodied dude? that can’t possibly happen!”
