Yeah, it’s not like any of this was her idea. Why couldn’t her dumb ass parents just allow her to be the twitter/instagrammer she was so obviously born to be? Seriously, she obviously hates school and already has-or had sephora already dropped her-a career so what would she even do with a college education? 

Yeah, the white people not facing real repercussions is the only thing that’s dampening my enthusiasm for this whole thing. 

Does enjoying, bordering on reveling in, schadenfreude make me a bad person? Naw, they are getting at least a little bit of what they deserve. 

Sure, but why couldn’t they just donate the money directly to the school like regular rich white people? That is, when you really think about it, skeezy enough already.

That is completely utterly and EXACTLY what I thought and did!!! Cheebus, she looks way older than Kimberly, who is what, 15 years older? Oy.

Oh why do they keep letting her talk? and why do we keep responding? Is the train wreck analogy correct here? Yes, I think so. We can’t help but at least look. *sigh*

Seriously, she is not cut out for any of this.

Ok, take yer damn star now!

Chafing though, so you be careful out there.
