It might be too late since we replied to it. Flag down a moderator. I don't think it was a bad post, just a terrible start to a worthless article, which I still haven't finished reading. Imagine if a writer wrote the same article replacing white with non-white. It would be an interesting thought experiment to see the reaction to such an article.
Edit: I read the whole article (skimmed it, really) and my nerves are a bit frazzled.
I couldn't resist signing up for Medium and posting a reply.
Double edit: Oh, Gack! Look at this nonsense Professor Cohen hyperlinked in the aforementioned article - http://jezebel.com/5905291/a-complete-guide-to-hipster-racism/all
Ill read that one now. I see its on jezebel, so I can guess already that it will be aggravating.

Hello, thank you so much for your sympathies.
My situation now is that im still living with my mother and we are avoiding each other as much as possible. I have a job at this really nice place teaching guitar but I have no students yet (I'm working it out and hopefully they will be coming in the next week or so). I'm also looking for other part time jobs. I'm seeing a therapist who is good from what i can tell so far but the fact remains that im still living in the torture chamber that is my mothers house.
As far as my mothers history i know that she was neglected by her parents (which she inflicted on to me later in life). Other than that I don't know much but I've seen my grandfather yell at her as an adult so i suspect there was verbal abuse as well.
I know im almost out but its getting worse. I'm getting angrier and angrier every day. I need to get out ASAP.
I am sorry to hear that you are getting angrier. I was more interested in hearing how your relationship with your mother got this way. Was she verbally / physically abusive when you were younger? I am just curious as to how things ended up like this between you and your mother. Glad to hear you have a job, and teaching guitar no less. I am a guitarist myself, so I love hearing that others play and are teaching new people to pick up the instrument as well.
Not sure how this all ended up in one bubble, but now I can't delete my post. Can anyone tell me how?

If you don't mind me asking, can you give some more details on your situation? Details of this specific scenario as well as history with your mother etc. Also, I want to extend my deepest sympathies for your situation. Hope you find a job soon.

I stopped reading after the opening paragraph.
I wish I had done the same.
The worst part is multiple people on my Facebook feed, (who I have since unfriended / ignored) wrote, and I quote "this is the best article I have ever read" and "WOW! Greatest.Post.Ever."
EDIT: How do I delete a thread? I actually don't want to bring more attention/traffic to this guy's article.

Here is an article (and I use that term very loosely) that has popped up all over my Facebook feed recently. I would love to hear what Stefan and you all think of it. The title is, "Douchebag: The White Racial Slur We've All Been Waiting For".

I tend to agree with Stefan. I am a musician myself who has always been accused of just being "talented". The truth of the matter is that I would sit and practice until my fingers bled, my voice gave out, and my ears were ringing nearly every day as a kid. So don't discourage yourself, pursue your passion and most of all, practice!

Glad to hear such a positive attitude. Thank you for sharing your story, and I wish you nothing but the best

This may seem a bit odd, but I'd love to join in the Skype and watch. I've always wanted to learn how to play
