Classic Ronaldo No Fucks Given:

spot on, Ronaldo is my fav.

Cristiano Ronaldo's self-confidence is easily one of my favorite things about him. For over a decade, the English-language press has been obsessed with pushing a sexist, homophobic, xenophobic image of him as a swarthy, preening girly man who is ruining A Real Man's Sport, but dude could not give less of a fuck. It's…

There are four things you can do:

As another white person — honestly, from this answer it sounds like sadsweaterowner is right — but I wouldn't take it as an insult. Stay with me...

Think about the origins of guilt. Guilt is a conflict between two things: who you want believe you are, and who you perceive yourself to be.

You would like to believe you…

Your essay makes me uncomfortable. I honestly don't know how to help or be an ally. ... How do we do that without becoming a "good white person"?

So glad your question about giving up wasn't a serious one! And yes, sad that so many people feel that throwing up their hands is an appropriate response to a bit of push back.

I've had many of these conversations over the past several months. And I've been trying to sharpen my perspective on this problem, the problem of the "how do I help," question. I offer these comments with compassion and great respect for your commitment to children and families:

Just help. Just do what your…

I certainly don't see where I insulted you? Or said you have offended me? The internet is a tricky place, and I do have a tendency to speak a bit intensely.

Just do your job. Be sensitive to those kids and understand that you can't FULLY know what they're going through, but that's okay. You're not expected to know exactly what it's like. You're trying to help them. That's what matters. Let them speak, don't assume you know things about them because you've worked with kids…

Listen and amplify Black voices.

Isn't doing what you can all that you can do? It seems to me that you're an ally if you advance the cause for equality and reparations and not an ally if you don't. Some people might never accept your presence, some people might believe that you cannot help no matter what you do. But you don't need to win everyone…

Some POC will tell you that white allyship is not needed, but it is. If we want society to progress, members of the majority and minority have to work together to get towards that point. The first and most important rule to being a good ally is to listen. Listen and pay attention to what POC are saying and understand…

Right. I don't want a prize, but also, don't basically tell me to shut up. That doesn't do anyone any good.

What about talking about it for the purpose of encouraging others to do the same? I do sometimes have to remove someone, not just racism, but all kinds of things I don't want to see on my feed, sexism, graphic photos, candy crush invites, and I usually follow up with a post saying "I'm not into this, if you want to…

I guess the question is "How can white people be supportive of the issue without seeming to demean or take over the issue? " If white people don't talk talk about what they do in the situation, then the narrative is that white people are ignoring the issue (which so many do). If white people talk about the issue,…

The thrill of victory, the agony of de feet.

I don't see the difference. Roberto Soldado has been playing in the dark for the last year and a half.

People, I adopted a three-footed baby kitty this weekend. His name is Toby.
