		<title>Link &#8211; The people and their cultures: POC and the movies</title>
		<description><![CDATA[unusualmusic at Angry Black Woman wrote this great, great, great, GREAT post about racialization in movies, in casting and characterization. There are all sorts of examples where people of colour have been characterized as evil, undercharacterized, or simply replaced with whiteness.
Whitewashing is a frequent topic these days, given the complete and utter failure that is The [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=uppitybrownwoman.wordpress.com&blog=4218092&post=330&subd=uppitybrownwoman&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Quotation: Tuhiwai Smith on History</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m currently reading Decolonizing Methodologies: Research and Indigenous Peoples by Linda Tuhiwai Smith, published in 1999. I&#8217;m not yet finished, but so far, I&#8217;ve been enjoying it immensely. I recommend it to everyone, especially academics, but her writing is still very accessible and not full of jargon. This passage about history, among others, stood out [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=uppitybrownwoman.wordpress.com&blog=4218092&post=328&subd=uppitybrownwoman&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Um, yes, it does make me a bigot.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[About two weeks ago, a commenter wrote the following about the Miley Cyrus: That Achy Breaky Bigot video by ill-literacy that I reposted:
Come on ! That doesn’t make her a bigot. I’m sure you have done things that some could interpret as bigoted.
While I don&#8217;t know if this person (or robot) really had any interest [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=uppitybrownwoman.wordpress.com&blog=4218092&post=325&subd=uppitybrownwoman&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Hey, it&#8217;s been awhile</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I haven&#8217;t written anything on the blog in awhile. Somehow, I managed to completely miss the entirety of May without realizing it. I was overwhelmed offline by a number of things, but it&#8217;s gotten a little less frantic now and I&#8217;m more in control of myself (again). I wanted to concentrate on things before my [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=uppitybrownwoman.wordpress.com&blog=4218092&post=322&subd=uppitybrownwoman&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Angie Zapata&#8217;s murderer is sentenced to life in prison</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I read over at Questioning Transphobia that Angie Zapata&#8217;s murderer had been convicted of first-degree murder yesterday, including bias motivated.
I have to admit, I was a little surprised it was first-degree. I have very little faith in justice systems, but for once, they got it right. The system did what it was supposed to be [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=uppitybrownwoman.wordpress.com&blog=4218092&post=316&subd=uppitybrownwoman&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Cisgender privilege and derailing conversations with Trans 101 questions.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So, I&#8217;ve been half-watching the mudslide of transphobia that has been coming out of the feminist blogosphere in the last few weeks. I hope to engage in the conversations very soon because it is a part of my responsibility as a cis-person, but I have been mostly a reader and not a contributor yet. 
However, I [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=uppitybrownwoman.wordpress.com&blog=4218092&post=314&subd=uppitybrownwoman&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>In tough economic times, transphobia will get Alberta out of debt</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Alberta has decided that the $700 000 they were spending on gender reassignment surgery per year was putting them back too much. The provincial government has cut funding of the surgery completely out of the budget, which was released on April 7.
From xtra.ca (don&#8217;t read the comments): 
The Alberta government delisted funding for gender reassignment surgery [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=uppitybrownwoman.wordpress.com&blog=4218092&post=311&subd=uppitybrownwoman&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

I&#8217;ve kept silent on these opinions until now, and I think I am doing a disservice by not helping googlers. I&#8217;m here to help you today with all the burning answers from the top searches.

I probably won&#8217;t be updating too much in the next two weeks (which I hate to say, because then I [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=uppitybrownwoman.wordpress.com&blog=4218092&post=290&subd=uppitybrownwoman&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Link: The Top Five Ways That White Feminists Continue To Discredit Women of Color</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Guest post by Aaminah Hernández at Problem Chylde:
1)	Say we are too “involved” or biased in regards to the subject, and claim that you are more “objective”.
This is frequently done to silence people who are trying to tell their own story. Academia is famous for this, but it happens outside academia as well. For example, who are [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=uppitybrownwoman.wordpress.com&blog=4218092&post=281&subd=uppitybrownwoman&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>On fundamentally missing the point of WOC-only spaces</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Yeah, I&#8217;m talking about so-called white feminist allies who want to question the need for WOC spaces.
Yeah, I&#8217;m talking about so-called white feminist allies who get defensive when someone points out structural white privilege in action, start lashing out at imaginary threats, which they then rationalize as people/women of colour in general, and make the [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=uppitybrownwoman.wordpress.com&blog=4218092&post=276&subd=uppitybrownwoman&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Discussion: How&#8217;s your privilege today?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m not sure how successful this exercise will be, since I think only 8 people follow my blog, but humour me.
We are all marginalized and privileged in some ways. Often we speak about our sites of oppression more than our privileges. This does a disservice to social justice because if we truly want equity/equality, we [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=uppitybrownwoman.wordpress.com&blog=4218092&post=273&subd=uppitybrownwoman&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>When do women of colour get to be angry?</title>

I&#8217;m talking mainly about the relationship between WOC and white women in feminist spaces, but I know it applies elsewhere.
Depending on the race, [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=uppitybrownwoman.wordpress.com&blog=4218092&post=270&subd=uppitybrownwoman&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>
