Not trying to be a turd, but why do we always have to tout someone as THE NEXT [ ... ]? Other than clicks and marketing. Yeah, I get it, we don't do these things for the brilliant 12-year-old girl; we do it for grown people business things. And out of laziness. But it's not really that fair on, say, in this case, a…

Don't have money: "Work hard like the rest of Americans, darkie! Stop complaining!"

OMG, I'm so outraged by ... ... someone spending that much on a bag!!!

Not trying to get pissy here, but you should probably just google "white entertainment television vs. black entertainment television." This has been explained millions of times.

1. Africans definitely need more teachers like this to save them from themselves.

It sounds like you already know. You probably should ask someone who knows the situation better than us interneters, but it sounds like rude, angry, and disrespectful are qualities worth sticking around for. It doesn't sound like your love is being respected. Imagine one of your best boy/girlfriends in your shoes w/ a…

We're getting into generalizations, and I'm sure this happens to women, too. I never found being a boyfriend problematic, per se, but I've always been uncomfortable with people who seem kind of obsessive about the whole title thing, and particularly people who rapidly change their tune. I've always been similarly wary…

This could be a more accurate dialogue, IMO:

I've been in quite a few relationships, and this resembles more of a summary of romantic comedies than any relationship I've been in.

Well, you probably don't know if you missed anything. But at the end of the day, it doesn't really matter if you're happy. You could also have experienced 8,000 things and be miserable.

Dear Genius,

It's called statistics ...

If you can determine what an unhealthy obsession with race is, why don't you tell me what a healthy obsession with race is, then?

Haha. Back atcha. *blows kisses*

No worries. Just finished watching it. What a phenomenal talk. It's just amazing how many people know that, even say it regularly, but can't seem to do it in practice.

I mean, I agree with everything she said, but SHE SAID "SLAVE TRADE!" And we know that invalidates everything. It's like she didn't write any other words. When will the Maasai learn?

Hallelujah!

This argument doesn't just end at people writing books. Her argument applies to so many in the NGO world, too. People talk about arrogant bankers and politicians, but jesus me, there are countless arrogant, patronizing, selfish, appropriating NGO do-gooders running around those parts, too. Rarely have I seen as much…

How witty. How deep. How do you ever come up with such accurate parallels? I'm so impressed by your aptitude.

No. No I don't think it's a valid argument. Maybe I would if I lived in a world without context. But something tells me that explaining it to GenericWhiteGuy, or explaining the silliness of your "black thuggery in a nutshell" correlation, won't be a fruitful exercise.
