When I was looking at schools all I cared about was getting my degree so I can have a career and better life than the one I grew up in.

There should be no cookout invites ever. The only question should be whether we let someone take a plate for you, or nah. Some folks ain’t even worth the cost of foil.

I disagree. It’s pretty standard Republican platform to say making things “private”, taking them out of the public sphere or limiting access to things is the American Way. Not the other way around.

Please don’t confuse the fact that your cop family may be nice to YOU with them actually being good cops.

Huh? I am referring to white women getting AWAY with murder—not to say white women (like all women) are never murdered.

I don’t think they are much different. I don’t think her receiving critical emails is a big deal. So what. You write articles, people are going to disagree and respond. If they cross over into threats, etc. That is totally different—but, as I said above—those are crazy stans (and not what I understand him to be…

And white women who are pretty enough.

No. Those aren’t the same thing, because they are literally not the same thing. I don’t know how else to say it. The difference between airing an opinion in public (as part of your job) and telling people to personally contact someone who pissed you off is axiomatic.

Folks always want to say something about adoption, but adoption is neither free, nor easy, nor fast, nor guaranteed. It is not always a viable option/alternative for folks for a lot of reasons if someone wants to have a child.

The first time you said, “I’m tired. Fuck this. Plus she’s a baby. She can’t be that dirty,” when you were supposed to give her a bath.

But how could he possibly have known what she wanted?!? Women are such an enigma!

This is one of my biggest rage-inducers (although I have so many, nowadays). Pretty much every “pathology” of the black community is present in “mainstream” America and is just a part of American culture. Lest we forget, white folks elected 2 of the stupidest presidents ever, primarily on “want to have a beer with…

In some jurisdictions (like California), there are ANTI-SLAPP suits which allow the defendant to countersue if the suit itself was brought essentially to stifle protected speech (SLAPP stands for “Strategic Lawsuit Against Public Participation”). Otherwise, in the US, you are generally only able to recoup your legal…

Your argument makes no sense. You complain repeatedly that it “wasn’t very good” b/c it failed to make YOU believe that the characters and situations were “comprehensible and plausible.” You bringing Get Out into this conversation is because it was an example of OTHER PEOPLE saying that the movie is good when “in…

Why do you have to “see yourself in the mirror” for you to be able to understand white characters’ motivation, or actually be a black person to relate to the idea of auctioning off your body being terrifying? I, too, have never been made into—essentially—a zombie in my own body, but I physically felt the terror of…

I think that inferring that folks are bolstering their views from the convo described in the article is at least based in some kind of fact. But the general premise of “black movie I didn’t like bolstered b/c reviewers don’t want to sound racist” ignores that white-led movies you probably didn’t like were also…

So.....your basis for not liking it is that you didn’t relate to it? As a white person you may not have said/done X in the movie, but I guarantee you every black person has had that experience. (Hell, I even had white strangers telling me they voted democrat when bush was in office!) Its like #notallmen, but…

I am so confused. Why is this article about Ricker and his journey, etc., when it seems like Truong was like “oh you want that, here you go.” Seems like this article should be about Truong—if not the original restaurant (and the recipe, of course ;-))—and not the guy who was just longing to make something really yummy…
