Now, I’m not one of those fancy lawyers you see running around these parts.

Keep showing your a$%, please. It’s so comical when Jezzie commenters try to “White-splain” racism to Black folks.

I am a highly educated, incredibly literate dark-skinned Haitian-American lawyer who has family currently living both in P-a-P and in the countryside. I am fully aware of who DR’s president is currently and who has been president of DR over the last 15 years. Not to mention that I was at the inauguration of Haiti’s…

Thank you for this article! I think it can be hard on spaces like Jezebel to discuss racism where White folks are not the direct culprits. But it’s a very important discussion that needs to be had.

Except Ferrari guy. In the midst of all this evil-minded douchebaggery, Ferrari guy seems cheerful and benign.

Yes why

If you’re doing a role elimination, it’s VERY shady to then hire someone to do the same work within a 6 month period and sets you up for a wrongful termination suit, which they now have on their hands.

From my reading of the story, it seems as though the layoffs were proposed as part of a “restructuring” where work would be differently distributed and, thus, they would not need as many people. When they turned around and filled those positions they got rid of without “restructuring” it probably just seemed liked a…

Is that a pentagram on your chest or are you just happy to see your DARK LORD?

If I remember correctly, Adam Yauch asked on his deathbed that they don’t use the music in ads. They’re pretty happy to put their album art on T-shirts or whatever.

Pretentious hipster bullpucky. There is no shame in getting paid for you work. If artists want to make some cash leasing their music out to advertisements, then more power to them.

I’m wondering if maybe she just decided she liked the hair and then there was a misunderstanding and then one lie led to another and next thing she knows, she’s running an NAACP chapter. It’s like a really controversial I Love Lucy episode.

You write articles for an online blog. At least use your words instead of texting shortcuts. Christ.

That’s funny, because as a multiracial chick, it was black people who had the hardest time figuring me out. They think maybe I’m black, then hear me speak (professorial accent) and assume I am white.

Probs if you actually knew the heritage of every single person you’ve guessed about, you’d find out you’ve been wrong plenty of times tho

I remember being confused about Wentworth Miller playing a bi-racial character in “The Human Stain” until I learned that holy shit, this blue-eyed whiteboy really is bi-racial (poly-racial?).

I was in a summer school french class years ago at UC Berkeley and a girl who was black became my default friend in the class. On the first day she asked if I wanted to get a smoothie after and then it kind of became our ritual. She and I clicked immediately and when she made a couple of jokes about white boys and I…

I am also black and I have relatives that look and speak just like this woman. I’ve been called an Oreo on more than a few occasions so maybe that invalidates my opinion but at the end of the day it’s just that, my opinion, and I stand by it. Every viewpoint you’ve expressed is just as anecdotal but because you’re…
