I'm so proud to live in a time when Planned Parenthood exists to provide affordable and safe health care to so many women. I'm also so disgusted to live in a time when this service and women themselves are hated and constantly under attack. #feminism #feminist #plannedparenthood

From the article "Darren Wilson is Racist, As It Turns Out" by Jay Hathaway on www.Gawker.com. Wilson argues that the killing of Michael Brown was not a race issue whilst not understanding that his statements above make him racist, regardless of race playing a factor in the shooting. It's like people nowadays think you have to burn a white cross in someone's yard or lynch someone or say the n-word to be racist. Racism is often subtle and ingrained in the way we speak. Wilson can claim all day that the murder of Brown isn't a race issue, but his own words give him away. He's racist. Which makes me believe a racist cop shooting a black 18-year-old is racially motivated. Even if -- and this is a microscopic if -- it wasn't racially motivated, Wilson is STILL racist. He's still a shitty person. I really don't understand how anyone could defend him. This is my rant for the night. #blacklivesmatter
