The Crimes Of Colonialism Sides With Deep Green Resistance

An elder directed me to this article today, in which a group called The Crimes Of Colonialism (hereby abbreviated as COC, pronounced “cock”, as in dickshit) publicly declares solidarity with Deep Green Resistance (DGR), with specific emphasis on DGR’s gender bashing standpoint: that trans and gender-diverse people don’t exist, on the basis that their gender identities are … Continue reading »

Deep Green Resistance: Unearthing Racist Radical Feminism & Transphobia From Within

Radical feminism came out of the idea that feminists couldn’t overstate the oppression of women. Its motto was “The personal is political” and this was promoted with the better-known but more-frequently misquoted addendum, ”All men are potential rapists.” This is important to acknowledge when we fast-forward 30 years to take a look at recent declarations by … Continue reading »

Completely Useless & Wildly Immature Correspondence With SlutWalk Vancouver (Year 3) Organizers

The first correspondence I received was originally posted on this entry, as part of my open call to boycott SlutWalk Vancouver in its third year and in future years. But as I’ve since received further correspondence, and the issues I addressed in the original piece of writing calling for a boycott, as well as in … Continue reading »

A Brief History Of SlutWalk Racism

I recently published this open call to boycott SlutWalk in its third year, on the principle that it is literally a parade of white settler privilege pretending and (more-or-less failing) to “raise consciousness about rape culture”. This post will be addressing the racism that has been inherent in the SlutWalk movement (especially in Vancouver, BC) … Continue reading »

SlutWalk Vancouver, Year Three: An Open Call To Boycott This White Settler Privilege Parade

I am a white person, and a Settler in the unceded Coast Salish territories currently known as Vancouver, BC, and I am writing this piece today as an open call to boycott SlutWalk Vancouver this year and in the future. The event is set to take place for the third time in its short history, … Continue reading »

White People: Caucasian? Caucasoid? Cockatoo?

Lately, I’ve been seeing an increase in the use of the word Caucasian as an erroneous catch-all for white people in general. Being part Caucasian myself (and three other kinds of white), this bothers me. It tells me that people don’t know who they are or where they come from, and have simply given up … Continue reading »

Being White & Anti-Racist: Walking In Wooden Clogs On A Razor Thin Line

Allow me to be the first to acknowledge that there are times as an anti-racist white person that I still make mistakes. Try as I might to stay on the side of the razor thin line that guides my anti-racist activism, I am sometimes walking directly on top of it in wooden clogs. Sometimes those … Continue reading »

Richard Dawkins, Racism, & Islamophobia

Back in February, prominent atheist and dipshit (in my opinion) elevated to the status of secular humanist superhero, Richard Dawkins, went off the deep end with a racialized term on Twitter. And I don’t mean that he simply posted a tweet containing an offensive word and then conceded that he made a mistake, using the … Continue reading »

Apply Pressure To Stop Bleeding

Racism in Canada (especially against indigenous peoples, but increasingly so against immigrants and Muslims as well) is roaring, and people are literally at the point of filling the streets in protest. I am right there with them as often as I can be, and I am keeping the pressure on other people to take concrete … Continue reading »

Hair Revisited: One Year Later

A little more than a year ago, I published this post about how my and everyone else’s relationships with my hair, my race (which isn’t nearly so simple as “I’m a white person!”), and my apparent social gender radically shifted overnight when I started shaving my hair clean off for a full year and a … Continue reading »
