You're right-I'm just trying to help with the minority part.

I got a cell phone when i started driving to school specifically for emergencies. I get it can be a distraction in class, but I'd think taking it away when the kid leaves the house might not be the best idea.

I know-I wasn't even aware people were keeping track of his sobriety date. There is very good reason for trying to keep it a private issue.

I understand giving two weeks notice so as not to burn bridges, but doing it because "Its considerate and the right thing to do" is giving a courtesy to your employer that they wouldn't necessarily give to you. Most of my employers were generally good people and treated me well...I wouldn't leave without making sure…

There is some truth to it that Asian women go after white (specifically American) guys. I spent a few months in China and noticed right away there was some resentment from the Asian women that the native-English-speaking white Americans kind of grouped together instead of spending more time with the Asians. I did a…

Thats not true. According to the article they were informed by local police later the same day she was found, which was, of course, after they went on Facebook.

The statement from the private investigator is almost unintelligible. "Where any of her friends and family on social media...." how did that mess manage to be a run-on sentence and a fragment at the same time, and what is it asking...'Was anyone on Facebook that day?' or 'We're taking tips via Facebook because we…

At first I didn't see what you were talking about, but I look and it does look different because of the shine added to the black wig. It makes it look greasy and less soft, like chemically-processed African American hair. Hate to use the word greasy, but yeah, all that gel some black women will put on or in it to get…

I'd like to think anyone who reads Gizmodo would already know this privacy notice is useless. On the other hand, I appreciate articles like these that I can link to when I triumphantly reply to goobers who do post statuses like these.

Ah, fighting ageism by mocking the age group younger than you...not hypocritical or catty at all.

I'm not talking about what it means to white America-Flowersshe was referring to a black father talking to his daughter and inferring that the black community understands and agrees that pretty=white. The tone didn't come through in my reply, but I was saying that it was disturbing for someone to casually say this as…

I'm not talking about in the context of Hollywood-Flowersshe was referring to a black father talking to his daughter and inferring that the black community understands and agrees that pretty=white. The tone didn't come through in my reply, but I was saying that it was disturbing for someone to casually say this as if…

I should have made it obvious that I know its not. I was surprised that someone would think, much less say such a thing.

I remember the month, and if I ever feel like digging out my old diary, I could tell you the day. But I had a very clear, messy (and so memorable) first one.

I was 10. I was skinny then, and almost 20 years later I still have an average BMI.

Seriously? "pretty" is black people code for "white"?

Oh good, another thing white people can complain about not being able to say.

Thanks-this article almost kind of ruined Denzel Washington for me.

But if you do get the job, be prepared for those same white men to assume it was affirmative action...and then to condescendingly argue that their racist assumption is a reason that affirmative action should be completely abolished because it only hurts minorities self esteem to give them help and makes white people…

And yet he would be worse off if his skin color were brown. Anyone can experience disadvantages of being poor. Only someone living under a rock would say there hasn't been extensive discussion of the plight of the poor in this country and that any poor child "doesn't have the right to feel bad about it". But this…
