Rush Limbaugh's theme song, as written by Ricky Gervais and performed by David Bowie —

I get that. However, the reason that your "sensitive, honestly worded question might be met with hostility" is because you're asking a black person if their blood is red, and they are just beyond tired that they have to remind people that they're actually human. (I'm not saying that this is the type of question…

I would be absolutely tickled pink if "yippee ki-yay motherfucker!" was a standard greeting.

It's racist when you use it with a black person who doesn't speak in the AAVE vernacular. If your friend isn't "from the hood" and more importantly you are not from the 'hood — you shouldn't be speaking to her using those slang terms. It's patronizing and it erases who they actually are if people use that vernacular…

We should be treated the same? But you said that blacks are all potential criminals though. Even the mothers whose sons have been shot by their elderly white neighbors. All blacks probably steal, so if they're in a store, people should treat them with suspicion. If there's a fight and a black person and a white…

You're not qualified to judge. You think that black people are predisposed to crime, which results in the examples I've given that effect black people trying to live their lives.

There's something funny about the police treating the family of a murdered child like they were the criminals after they watched their kid get gunned down by their crazy neighbor? Well, of course there is, to you. You've proven my point.

You're not qualified to judge. Also, if it's fair to suspect all blacks of being criminals, that results in the examples I gave you. People being arrested for shopping, murdered for being on their own property, and being viewed as the aggressor in a fight where they're the victim. Or how about when a kid is murdered…

It's still bad. And it can mean physical injury or death for black people just for doing, well, just about anything one can do. Shopping, eating, being in one's own home, parking in a handicapped spot while displaying a handicapped sticker, being the victim of an attack, being in an accident - anything. And it's…

Black people have been recently —

My frothing pitcher. For the past month, I've been working from home, and I've used my espresso machine more in this month than in the two years I've had it.

I will miss you and your posts, and I'm sad to see you go! I can't wait to read your future writings and wish you all the best.

I'm not wrong; I just disagree with you. And I do think we have opposing points of view, because you don't view the circumstances of Lohan's type of celebrity as a "real issue."

She benefits from the racial fuckery that exists in this world. And you mention Whitney Houston. Lindsay Lohan has never been as talented as Whitney Houston was. Mention a mediocre talented black performer that is given chances over and over again in the same vein. I can't think of one. It's like the Chris Rock…

People are stating that this irresponsible, marginally talented actress is offered chances time and time again. Conversely, even the most beautiful, talented, hard-working black actress will have problems getting any roles — she will have a harder time than the Lena Dunhams and Rosie O'Donnells (looks-wise), who may…

People may think it gives them fuller lips, but it also ages them.

Why would a part have to be "intended for a black actress?" Therein lies the problem.

I don't love Lindsay Lohan. At all. (See my post about how her "the black kid was driving" to get out of being punished for her crimes means that for me, her career can DIAF)

I don't root for people who try to get "the black kid" arrested for her crimes. Lindsay Lohan can languish in obscurity for all I care. Her career can DIAF.

I went to the University of Chicago. It is not utopian, but it isn't a horrible place, either. No school is perfect. Let's take Harvard. If you are a black high school student working at Harvard, and you are trying to fix your stuck bike lock - why, you might just be terrorized and called racial slurs by…
