"First, I must confess that over the last few years I have been gravely disappointed with the white moderate. I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in the stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Council-er or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate who is…

ETA, didn't get the joke. My bad.
....except Erin herself is on twitter telling people she wasn't afraid. She didn't look like she was going "going to wet herself" and the fact that people assume she was afraid basically proves the point of the article. And I guess rapping about dropping out of college and private prisons means you're pretending to be…
I got into a debate with this guy on Gawker about racism. He called me a bitch. I said some snarky shit about him calling me by my proper name, then he started calling me by my government. On Gawker of all fucking places. Creeped me out.
If Rush Limbaugh and Dennis Miller can be sports commentators, so can Gabby! At least she's an athlete too. Plus she's a Pats fan. Yaaaaaaaaaas, Gabby!

"Though for what it's worth, now that I don't live in Miami anymore, I generally tell people I'm from Chile or something when I speak Spanish (I speak pretty clean Spanish, not the ugly, sloppy Caribbean kind so it's believable). I just don't like the stigma attached to being Cuban when I meet other Hispanics, even…

I like Nancy Grace. She's crazy as fuck and blows shit up to infinity and back. BUT, I thoroughly enjoyed watching her rip apart George Zimmerman's BFF multiple times, and she highlights missing POCs, instead of just pretty little blonde girls. And TOT MOM. COME ON, THAT'S AMAZING.
It must be a really nice neighborhood for this to be an issue. I'm from a pretty rough area of Boston, and when someone is murdered, or an accident, the memorial that's placed where it happened stays up for a pretty long time. It doesn't bother anyone. It's not in the way, it's just there and remains until the family…
This times x1000. You are dead on, and you know what I really appreciate? How you can state so perfectly how our struggles mirror each other, but still fully acknowledge how its different. I have all the feels right now. Thank you so much for this comment!
I love all the people that are like "well, you shouldn't have taken the loans, so go fuck yourself". Poors, like me, and middle class kids get sold a fucking pipe dream. People preaching the bootstraps bullshit make me sick. We believe that by going to college, we can do better but it's a damn lie. Too many of us are…
I've had black men tell me to my face that I have it easier because "you're not a threat to white people" and totally disregard sexism. I applaud the black men that get it, I really do. But they need to educate their fellow brethren, because too many dismis the sexism we face from not only our own community, but our…
I hate that damn show and I'm glad it's snubbed. Like, the time we can have a show with well rounded characters of color is set in a prison and framed around a white woman? Really, now? Like all these damn struggle movies. Yeah, they're good, but can I get something just as good set in an office or a nice…
A is just being rediculous and thinks that criminal justice system and police are 100% right all the time. I have a degree in CJ, and the amount of people that don't believe that innocent people get locked up, or certain segments of our population aren't being overcharged and over sentenced is astounding. They're the…
....or you could have an adult conversation about what to do in the event of pregnancy before you stick your dick in someone. Or you can cut off your nose to spite your face like you did. Whichever. If I have a son that happens to be straight, I plan on teaching him not to have sex with any women that he wouldn't want…
I love the people on here like "omg, but MLK would be so ashamed". Being called a nigger by a white person having a fit of rage is straight up horrible. The act of not knocking them the fuck out is an act of God. Imagine somebody coming up to you and just spitting in your face. Are you going to be all "peace be with…
