It wasn’t not about that.

Admit it, this whole post was a humblebrag about your marriage single handedly defeating a republican, wasn’t it?

Correction: the actual count was 370-368.

After Nov. 2016, I told my wife we’re voting in every local election (we had previously just voted in presidential elections). She was going to vote for a Republican who lives down the street from us just because he’s local. I told her I voted straight Democrat and I guess she decided to as well.

So, a bit like Ned Stark then?

People: read the links in the story before you pass judgment. If you want a quick overview...

 I am honestly a little bit tired of so-called progressive dudes crapping all over Democratic ladies while not looking to so-called progressive men doing squat for either women’s rights or minority rights.

Bull shit. She is the star of the show. And Doctor Who was hardly a ratings juggernaut at that point.

It was maybe forgivable to pay her less in S1 when she was, as you said, unknown. But when they saw what a fucking massive hit it was they should have at least brought her up to Matt Smith’s level for S2 if only for optics’ sake. Like, come on.

Supporting role vs. starring role doesn’t factor into your equation at all? Especially after the first season, her winning the Emmy, and cleaning the floor with him in their scenes together?

Dude, Martha’s storyline was fucking heartbreaking. Something halfway decent needs to happen to that woman. Part of me kind of hopes Oleg and Martha find each other and settle down together, finally both having a happy non-fucked up relationship.

Absolutely. They talk to us like we’re “others” and not just people. My boyfriend (who is half black and half chilean) has this happen to him a lot and hates it. One example he gave a long time ago sticks with me: he goes to Trader Joe’s often & a white guy that works the register there always calls him “brotha.” He’s…

Love to! For the record, I’m a non-black latina.

 If I didn’t know better I’d think the headline & the piece were put up just to give me an aneurism. I’m glad he’s being sued. Let us know when the prosecution for attempted defrauding of the county and state is coming.

Racism is prejudice + power. There is no systemic force that reinforces black supremacy or protects black people simply by virtue of being black, therefore racism doesn’t apply to black people.

I also don’t have any white friends. I didn’t grow up with white people and never meshed with any at work or in college/law school. To this day, I feel super uncomfortable when I’m around a large group of them because they ALWAYS END UP DOING THE SAME SHIT.

I’m clearly making a mistake trying to navigate life with a conscience and empathy.

“If black people could be racist, I would be. But we can’t, so I’m not.
