I appreciate the donation to RAINN, if nothing else. It's good to hear "we were wrong" though.

Aha - It has Gina Carano in it? That's why my boyfriend loved it so much.

That's disappointing :( Figures my boyfriend would like it though - he has a celebrity crush on a female MMA fighter (Gina Carano, I think? Or Ronda Rousey? I can't remember)

There is no doubt in my mind that justice isn't color blind. One look inside the prison system can tell someone that. For 13% of the population African Americans are a majority of the prison population, and it's certainly NOT because they are more violent or dangerous or anything like that. Anyone who says that…

My boyfriend told me Haywire was "exactly like Bourne Identity but with a female lead". I haven't seen it, so I don't know if it does it well or not, but it's a legit action movie and not a comedy.

They just sentenced a [black] woman to 20 years because they proved she could have gotten away even though she didn't fire AT anybody, but rather fired a warning shot (she tried to use the Stand Your Ground law) - this man, based on his 911 calls, had ample time to get away before a confrontation even started, and was…

I wouldn't agree with the "alternative lifestyle haircut" bit - but in a prior video she did dance and possibly makeout with another woman for entertainment purposes. I think that is sexualizing lesbians.

I had the same reaction. I grew up in poverty and in a very diverse town. I've always been poor, I've always been held back by financial bounds. I'm at a place in my life where I may continue college and better my life, but only if financial aid holds out. I bristle a little at "black culture" being diminished to…

I always squeeze those people's hands extra hard.

Seriously! I pay the most for sneakers or boots. Heels I pay $20-30 tops for. I know I'm not going to wear them that much, and when I do I'm going to take them off and trade them for flats halfway through the night. I am just not one to suffer, financially or physically, for fashion.
I do spend way too much on books…

That's a good point. I can't really argue that.

Another commenter, Claud, posted this link and said it might have something to do with it. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/06/19/ex-…

True, but he states that he isn't going to fight against their rights. I think it's asking a lot for religious people who have lived their entire lives believing that homosexuality is a sin against god to wholeheartedly accept homosexuality, especially someone who was a part of something like Exodus. But for him to…

Cracked included this in an article called "The 8 Most Excessively Disturbing Public Health Campaigns" - they had a lot of interesting/strange ones.

I think this is very beneficial - and certainly a good idea to have included in the iPhone. Suicide prevention hotlines may seem like an obvious answer, but a lot of times in a depressed fugue or amidst a state of suicidal ideation you aren't thinking straight. It would be good to have a reminder that help exists…

Oftentimes they put the amount at such a ridiculous price because "you can't get it if you don't ask for it" and they expect to get less. Also large amounts of money may give a lawsuit some media exposure which can sometimes get the victim sympathy and rally public support (which really shouldn't matter in a legal…

I really think that if there is a god, that dogs, not humans, were made in his image. Dogs are perfect - loving, loyal, kind, affectionate, etc.

I kind of have a feeling that this is an over the top rebuff at the article on the comment from Reddit that Jezebel posted and tore apart. This definitely seems more like a joke on Jezebel's readers, especially with all the egging on that is taking place from the author.
That was my first thought at least. Not that…

If there were racist and sexist jokes in your place of work, then yes, that is to be taken seriously. These waiters were at work, not at some party with their friends. Hate speech and sexual harassment should never have to be tolerated at work. As someone who left an amazing job because the owner's son was sexually…

I love stand up comedy and yet I somehow manage to avoid all those racist jokes. Have I really just been so lucky all these years?
No Paula Deen you damn fool, "most jokes are racist" because you hang out with racist people and are yourself racist. Most jokes are not racist - all good jokes are not racist.
It's not…
