Which is why I believe I—a black appearing American—should receive reparations. Because of all the emotional distress being a black face in a white place has caused me.

OH MY GOD WE USE THE SAME BLUSH! NARS! EXHIBIT A! I'm pretty sure it's the only blush people with dark skin can buy and use successfully from Sephora. Is this correct or non? Just curious. Used the same blush, every day, for the last four years. Kind of wanna branch out...

Eck, thanks!

As a diabetic med student who just got off of a neurology rotation, 1) it could be a partial seizure 2) or a MIGRAINOUS seizure!!!! but it's 3) definitely not hyper- or hypoglycemia and 4) it's probably not a seizure. I know it's weird to assume that relatively well-dressed white people are doing drugs, but heroin use…

I think this thread should win an award: It really covers all the sanest points on why women may or may not identify as feminists... and it's not overly mean. I'm proud of all of you, including you, waaaaaaahhhhhhhhaaaaaaa.

I was going to be obnoxious and say that the reason why pancreatic cancer only receives 16% of the funding breast cancer gets is because breast cancer is over 5x more prevalent. But then, the yearly death rates for both are comparable.

HUZZAH! I'm from Wilmette and I went to New Trier. And OH MY GOD! It is full of rich obnoxious people... but we are still pretty liberal. We vote for republican senators (mark kirk is our current one). But we are also very intelligent. So this babble about autism being caused by gays? Yea, no. She's not going to win…

Apparently....!!! Because Detroit is a post-apocalyptic wasteland nowadays, 911 takes about 52 minutes—on average—to get somebody to the scene (DO NOT HAVE A HEART ATTACK IN DETROIT). I know that this is in a suburb, so IDK. Just saying, it could have easily taken an hour.

I think that's the problem with all "stand your ground" laws, right? You can't really understand why someone felt unsafe. It's kind of like "hate crime" laws. You can't prove that someone beat up some kid because he was gay. Maybe the guy just beat up that kid because he really is an asshole and likes beating up…

Quite possible. The schizophrenic brain is a far variant from normal while still being functional. If they did kill someone, perchance they'd do it in a "very striking and gruesome" way.

Because 'schizophrenia' is a sprawling, ill-defined umbrella term that most likely comprises several similar but separate disorders in the first place

Lols. Not defending. Merely saying, she almost definitely doesn't have those psychiatric issues, and even if she did, that wouldn't make her "innocent".

Ah. So the networking can happen between sororities at different universities. Thanks for that insight. Now I'm kind of disappointed I never attempted to join one.

Just some fun psychiatry facts:

I never joined a sorority, but I'm assuming people want to join them for the networking and for the possible social work that sororities do.

Perhaps you can speak to other girls that are also not simply angry and/or black and get them to help, too. Thanks!

"Of the 15 icons chosen, only three are women of color (Iman, Grace Jones, and 15-year-old Tyra)."

That's a good question! Although if they're going to stay "natural" and not relaxed, I'd say black hair would be superior to white hair because it's not as oily. And if it's healthy, not as sheddy. God. Can you imagine hairballs in zero G?

And yet, somehow, your batshit crazy talkin' sounds almost well reasoned. Clearly you need more practice. 1) Fill your mind with hate! Much more hate! 2) And if you're taking meds, stop taking them! 3) Finally! Believe that you are right no matter what you're saying. Keep trying! I'm sure you'll get it :D //// and to…

I used to feel that way—that I was me and that I was unique and they always tell you unique is good so I must be important. I guess my only problem is that I look black...? Like all the famous biracial people I know of, they are all considered black. Halle Berry, Jimi Hendrix, Lenny Kravitz, Barack Obama, Rashida…
