I’ve enjoyed it mightily and chuckled too in the middle of my sympathetic indignation.<BR/><BR/>I also agree with many of the points that people have made here. I’ll add a bit more, generalizing now, because this post you are discussing is not exactly news. Of course there can and should be legitimate and interesting analyses about the social dynamics of blogs. I'm eager to read them when they don’t appear to be fuelled by condescension or jealousy. Shark-fu, you may have felt ignored as a blogger in this case, but (much less importantly) I have often felt insultingly patronized as a reader.<BR/><BR/>I’m ready to admit my biases and prejudices, I’m ready to open my eyes and my mind, but taking that into account I'm old enough to read what I fucking want to, thank you very much. I might be persuaded to read something, not guilted into it.<BR/><BR/>Shark-fu, I love both the style and the substance of your posts.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10755833.post-41750620084787489062009-02-21T18:41:00.000-06:002009-02-21T18:41:00.000-06:00What keori said.What keori said, in triplicate.

The issue isn't white women speaking for colored women, or straight people for gay... it's any individual speaking from authority as if another. <BR/><BR/>But (here's the important point) it remains important to SPEAK UP FOR others. I cannot speak for another, but I must speak up for him or her, especially if s/he cannot. If she has been battered. If he has been beaten. If she has been oppressed. If he has been imprisoned. If they have been silenced. Then I must speak loudly. Otherwise there will be none to speak for me. <BR/><BR/>No, Christina, white people are not all dumb (and I don't care what color you are as you state that...) nor does there seem to be malice in this colonization. It feels more of a "Hey look! We're relevant! We're important!" bit a la proclaiming one's hipness because some of one's best friends are black. <BR/><BR/>(Little Sister - you'll be my BFF, right?
