This shit makes me furious. We've gone from driving while black to shopping while black. What's next, breathing while black? Actually that's probably already a thing. And I don't know what I can do to stop this, other than boycott Macy's and Barney's. I never shop at Barney's, and rarely at Macy's, so that doesn't…

And by slowly, you mean normal-ish pace, right?

I am not team jake and olivia. I hate them together.

Standing back-handsprings on a track? (not a soft bouncy gym floor). DAMN GIRL. I am super impressed. I used to be able to do a round-off and a few back-handsprings and that was painful enough. How is she not dizzy?

Right now, I'm basing my accusations on her whole "Tituba was a worthless illiterate" thing, but I'll be happy to revise my stance if and when the time comes.

I do thank you for this I guess, as I was also not expecting a change or a backtrack from the two previous articles.

I was waiting on a chance to speak with someone at RAINN (which didn't happen until this afternoon). While ideally the turnaround time would be quicker we both needed to find time in our schedules to talk. I didn't want to write about this without talking to them.

Well this took long enough.

I'm comfortable with it because victim and predator are not mutually exclusive. Barring any mental handicaps, are you saying that a young girl can't victimize anyone? That an 8 year old boy will have power over a 14 yo girl just by him being a dude? Because that's fucked up. If she was forced to have sex with him,…

We already knew he was abused. Now we know he was raped. An STILL, it's cool to hate him with impunity, with no caveats for circumstance. It's not cool, and it is clearly racially based at this point. It's ticking me off. Even more so because now I'm fucking defending Chris Brown.

Chris Brown has a singular talent for making it impossible to sympathize with him even if he’s recounting a vaguely traumatic incident from his childhood. You know, like that time he lost his virginity to teenage girl. When he was eight.

You have to be twice as good to get half as much.

I'm still wondering why Dr. Bailey has never been nominated. I love Greys unashamedly, and she is a great character. Maybe compared to everything else on tv, it's not the best, but it's still one of my fave shows.

I don't know if that's relevant given that I have two graduate degrees and I've never heard of a Slow Loris, but I agree that unless the handler told her (and why would s/he) she probably had no idea.

Is there any reason to think she knew it was an endangered species? I definitely didn't. If someone handed me a cute and non lethal animal I would probably cuddle it before asking its relative position in the animal kingdom

Didn't this happen in "Higher Learning"?
(Yes, all of my comparisons come from 1990s television and movies.)

Those white girls who are pissed should probably quit rather than comment anonymously.

Yes, please tell me more about that false equivalence.

Black people wearing "preppy" clothes can never be appropriation since appropriation involves a DOMINANT culture taking from an oppressed one.
