Have to agree with Matt. It’s not the responsibility of every white person to apologize for other white people. Just like it isn’t the responsibility of any tother race to apologize for the actions of other members of their own.
What is the “issue”? That white people have moral culpability for the past? That seems to be the notion. There is nothing wrong with stating that its been bad for 400 years to be black in America, and that continues to impact black lives today. But that is not what I see as the issue. Instead I think writers like you…
I think the key point, though, is that she wanted there to be more than one character. If there’s just one token character representing a minority, there’s pressure on them to represent the whole group. Any flaws they had could be taken as impugning the entire category of people, so the safest path is to idealize…
I didn’t take “allow them a Lucy!” to mean “make one of them a main character.” Earlier in the letter, Glickman kept talking about how “even Lucy” counted as a good character, implicitly saying that she was a good character despite her abrasive qualities as the strip’s primary antagonist.

Even his expository small talk was filled with his accomplishments rather than his shortcomings.

Sure. The trick is to add back in a bit of moisture. Microwave: Add a little water, toss with a fork and nuke until hot through. Alternatively, break up any large clumps and steam just until hot (line the steamer basket with cheesecloth). If you don’t have a microwave or a steamer basket and have to reheat on the…

I have a problem with the course’s name. If there was a class called the “The Problem of Blackness,” or “The Problem of Hispanics,” or “The Problem of Jewishness” this website would be up in arms. Being born a particular way isn’t a problem. Nor should it be treated as such.
For many women in those days, booze wasn’t “fun” for them. There was severely rampant and brutal spousal abuse against women, oftentimes after their husbands consumed a large amount of alcohol. Their campaign against alcohol was more of a way for them to simply live. Through our 2016 eyes, it may seem like they…
Given that I seem to remember there were allegations of elder abuse by the most recent husband, I don’t think I want to google what these 5 years of life support were like. I can’t imagine this was good.
He is the Pussycat Dolls for straight women.
Nope, not overly-sensitive at all. I was born in the States but my family is West African; it just so happened that my parents were nuts about American R&B.
This isn’t our “Jingle Bells” - it’s our “Jingle Bell Rock” (But, y’know, better).
