Race is the house of many rooms, built by white people for “the world and all those who dwell therein” (Psalms 24:1).

i had no idea psalms was about white privilege.

Clockwise, from top left: Joy Behar, Alec Baldwin, Stephen Colbert, Maureen Dowd, Jimmy Kimmel, Susan Sarandon, Ryan Seacrest, Bill Maher

since these people weren't mentioned in the article, do we just assume they all said something dumb recently?

well played chimp

Is "social justice warrior" primarily a sincere self-label or primarily a mocking label? It's pretty awful.

mocking

quickly gaining traction in the right wing trollscape

ime it was originally a mocking label that has evolved into a reclaimed self-label

mocking

it's our generation's "cause heads"

i just figured out it's quite old now (urban dictionary from 2011) but for whatever reason it's popped up on my radar a lot more recently

^this, actually

have they completely reclaimed it yet?

because i still see it used mockingly, a lot

i mean i dont think its possible to completely eradicate mockery through reclamation

it was used sparingly back in 09/10 (earliest i saw it anyway) as a sincere self-descriptor

the "SJW" abbreviation was mocking from the beginning

and tbh any reclamation is still 100% snark/sarcasm like the image above, anyone who uses it as a serious descriptor is #notyourshield

roxy probably otm but it's a step in the right direction imo

ultimately it'll be of limited value/relevance to detractors and nobody will rly use it any more

idk tho

redditors and 4channers and... breitbart.com?? now use the term as a serious non-outright-mocking classification and seem to be under the impression that people still sincerely self-identify as SJW so i'm not sure what good "reclamation" will do outside of it being funny

tumblr shot first

social justice warriors come out to plaaaayaa

really?

DO TELL GOOD SIR

feel like SJW was initially hardcore tumblr marxist above-it-all types making fun of sensitive would-be activists?? can't prove this but I feel like that was the sphere I first saw it in

have def heard anti-SJW rhetoric from hardline marxists who usually have a 'safe space anecdote' or two up their sleeve

At the risk of sounding appalingly pretentious...

all articles on the nyt quiddities thread should start like this from now on
