Lack of nuance:
So much is crystalizing in my mind about the concepts of media reform and media justice. So much that I want to say a corrupt system cannot be reformed. Yeah, I know I’ve talked about my opinion about corrupt systems before (and about how you can’t “reform” Islam because there’s nothing wrong with it to begin with).
This kind of statement is embraced by third wave feminism but you’d never see the following on Pandagon:

Sewere who I love said something to the effect I wasn’t an ally BUT NO ONE’S BEEN MY ALLY in the anti-racism blogosphere for 2.5 years. Anti-racism is stunningly one-sided and blindered. Race trumps everything in the election, media, netroots, feminism and anti-racism and we could lose the election over it. Ironically, POC and WOC would suffer most. Misogyny is completely overlooked so MILLIONS OF WOMEN WON’T VOTE FOR OBAMA UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE. THEY REALLY WON’T VOTE FOR HIM and would rather sit it out, write in Hillary, write in McKinney, or vote for McCain.
Nothing trumps anything.
