I liked that Girlfriends had round the way girl, teenaged mom who married her high school sweetheart and eventually becomes a writer Maya, bougie Joan, hippy searching Lynn, the scrappy ambitious princess Toni, and conservative William. It showed a diversity of black characters not usually shown on TV, and it also…

Did we have that show in Girlfriends? I adored that show.

So much horror! Why inject peroxide? Why do it on their child's play mat? So disgusting!

I agree with you. Jay fingered him, Jay had no reason to do it or help someone else do it and blame it on Adnan, and Adnan didn't contact his ex-girlfriend after she was reported missing (and after calling her 3 times the day before she disappeared). He did it. He chose somebody that he thought didn't matter to be…

Canada had sundown towns, Canada razed a black neighborhood and displaced its residents, Canada had segregated movie theaters (and arrested a woman in the 40s for "tax evasion" for going into the white section of a movie theater - her arrest was just expunged in the past few years). Sounds about the same as the US.

Why do people always comment on the grammar of pieces written about race issues? I wonder...

It's not that horrible.

Why couldn't you order another dessert of your own choosing and then you'll both have dessert?

I would actively decline that offer, because if I order something and I like it and can't finish it, I have no problems taking it home. Nor do I like people sampling off my plate, and I always decline sampling off others'. It's a restaurant - they have plenty of food for everyone to have her own.

You were being reasonable. I think he was the territorial one, wanting to take your leftovers or eat essential ingredients for a communal meal.

Even if they are friends, the joke was offensive, not funny, and out of place. However, I — like others — even read his retelling of her reaction as her not really approving of it. Her "YOU put it in a book" shows disapproval.

Black people are slapped in the face with unexpected racist "jokes" from white "friends" all the time.

Why are you asking this question here? Google will provide you with literally thousands of explanations and examples.

I agree that one cannot change the actions of another adult. I'm just disagreeing with the idea that the nonmarried person isn't a dick because they haven't made vows. They are a jerk. Society recognizes the relationship, so being a part of infringing on that isn't cool. If it were, they wouldn't take pains to…

There's a difference between abandoning and simply stating that the behavior is hurtful. People seem to be saying that one cannot point out that the 3rd party is being hurtful to someone else. IMO, one shouldn't have to keep quiet about that to be a good friend.

A marriage is a public institution. It's not just between the two people involved - society also recognizes it. So one is a dick when one has a relationship with a married person. I know things are complicated. But it's a dick move.

Great. Your statement is derailing because you don't like or use them, and in this character limited world of Twitter and the like, you want people to use emoticons that use up multiple characters. Great. For people who do like and use them, it's a little weird that there are no black and brown ones.

Wow. That's what you got out of my statement?

White men do catcall. Signed a woman who has been catcalled by white men in the United States and in Europe.

Why does this make you long for the days when there were no emojis? Because brown and black people want to have emojis, that makes you want to do away with them altogether?
