If all they learned is to keep their stupid, hateful opinions to themselves, I am okay with it. The chances of them actually changing are slim. I firmly believe that, a lot of the time, battles against homophobia, racism, sexism, etc. are less about changing hearts and minds than they are about shaming idiots into…

No. I'm not. So if you are about to get up on your little white girl soapbox and preach to me about how white people are super qualified to raise black kids because of all that institutional racism they face and that black culture they understand, well you can save it cause I'm good.

From Slate:

Are you implying that it's normal for women in the US to feel 100% sure of their bodies and sexuality? Or that it's common for pop stars to talk about how they're developing and growing into their sexuality and how exciting that is? I mean, I WISH that were the cause, but this is actually a big deal, especially…

My friend's family reunion was held at a plantation outside of Savannah, GA and it included several White members of her overwhelmingly Af Amer family. She said it was one of the most powerful moments of her life. Tears were flowing among everyone. At that particular space they catered to the Af Amer experience and…

There is a difference between having personal shame and knowing there will be shaming fallout from other people, though. Plenty of people are not ashamed of their sexuality but don't want their mom bringing it up and saying they should be ashamed.

He named his children after two people who were fucking each other?

Go home Ani, you're drunk.

Also, he actually kind of looks like himself as a baby.

When I first moved to the South, a coworker suggested to (black) me that I take my family who was visiting, for a tour of a plantation. Because it's soooo pretty and you will really enjoy how peaceful and grand it is.

I do think that there is a difference between an African American family hosting a gathering on a plantation and a group of white women "shacking up" in one for a spiritual retreat. Context is everything.

It's truly upsetting, because these could be really important heritage and remembrance sites that sheds light on/memorializes/deepens our understanding of American slavery and its lasting effects on the social landscape.

It's a shame that this woman is considered a feminist icon. Meanwhile Beyonce, who has been in the music industry for over a decade and has many songs that are pro-women, especially pro-BLACK women, still struggles to garner respect from white feminists.

This right here is a derp meme in the making...

I don't know where to start with this rubbish that you posted, I'm "dark-skinned" African; and I'm not naive to the biases and privilege that comes with color related politics in different Black communities and outside the black community in the U.S. As an individual whose dad is considered "light skinned", my mom is…

But there is a big difference between voicing your point of view from your perspective and completely discouraging someone from their goals because YOU believe they will fail. It's not a constructive opinion or suggestion, it's someone completely burying another person in their perceptions and negativity.
THE LAST…

I remember when this was "College students loathe Facebook allowing high school students in"

Facebook was originally developed for use by College students. It was never meant for the teens.

Kanye being as deep as he is, there is a reason why he commissioned a bag with one pretty lady with big boobs, surrounded by three ghouls. It's obviously a family portrait! I think the one with the green face is Rob!

Ugh, I would hate to read an interview I gave when I was 21. Or from like a year ago, really. She sounds dumb, but no dumber than I did when I was young or like most people when they are young. She isn't the problem, it's people giving credence to what she says that is the real issue. She isn't some prophet or…
