This week’s cover story, System Failure: The Collapse of Public Education:
From our high schools to CUNY, New York City’s numbers are in—and they are terrifying.
Maybe if the NYPD stopped terrorizing children with darker pigmentation they’d focus more on school and learning and critical thought.

I mean it doesn’t sound as horrible as I thought, but maybe it’s just being euphemistic in its article.

I honestly can’t blame David Karp for wanting to sell this website
You can only be called “daddy” by white middle-class teenaged girls so many times before something just snaps

A photo made available by Syria’s official news agency shows blood stains and damage at a cafeteria at Damascus University following a mortar attack on March 28. Syrian state-run television said mortar shells landed at the university, killing at least 12 people. It blamed the attack on “terrorists,” a term used by the government to refer to rebels fighting to overthrow President Bashar al-Assad.

Bandai’s Saint Seiya line of toys is now ten years old. What better way to celebrate than with a solid gold statue? (It’s worth sixty million yen.)

As unbelievable as [White Dude Super Detective (WDSD)] characters are, they would become infinitely more so if their race or gender were changed. In The Mentalist, WDSD Patrick Jane once grifted clients as a fake psychic, but now works as a hard-to-control resource for the California Bureau of Investigations. What if the Jane character were a Latino ex-grifter? Would his arrogance and propensity for sneaking into suspect’s homes and accusing wealthy businessmen of impropriety read as quirky and charming? Would anyone believe that a police force would allow such behavior? Could the Scotland Yard of fantasy be down with a coke-addicted black Sherlock—no matter how clever?
The San Francisco police department abides Adrian Monk’s obsessive-compulsive disorder, as the FBI allows Perception’s Dr. Daniel Pierce to assist on cases, despite his unmedicated schizophrenia and paranoia, which results in hallucinations. Could a black woman be cast in those roles to the same effect? I submit, that even in the fictional worlds of literature and television, race and gender matter. Belief can only be suspended so far. And this archetype is reliant on power that comes with white maleness in American society.

#i still remember bossymarmalade and glockgal’s deconstruction of white privilege in supernatural #and how dean and sam worked so well #because no one ever questioned white dudes #even when they were sketchy as fuck #and then glockgal drew racebent spn comics #where sam and dean really had to work to be able to be hunters #because they couldn’t just get away with fake IDs now that they weren’t white anymore #it was so amazing #i would’ve watched THAT show forever
