when you’re a racist you don’t see human you see monster -

Hm. Am I the only one not buying the fact that Pam Anderson  casually tosses about phrases like ‘Pyrrhic Victory’ in everyday conversation?

It’s not especially strong or brave to flee from rape charges and hole up until the case is dropped. A more conventionally brave approach might be to stand trial in an attempt to prove your innocence. Running and hiding seems like something other than brave.

This pretty much reinforces the fact that if your loved one is suffering a mental health crisis, do not call the police if you aren’t willing to accept the very real possibility that the call you made to help your loved one will end up with your loved one bleeding out on the floor.

She could have been holding a knife because she was barbecuing in the backyard! She could have been holding a knife because she was afraid of the burglar she called them about (yes, mental issues, I know, but...)! IT’S NOT ILLEGAL TO HOLD A KNIFE.

It’s murky legally, because normally another person’s intentional action, i.e. turning a car on and filling it with carbon monoxide, and then intentionally deciding to get back in after questioning it, breaks the chain of proximate causation. But that’s not an absolute rule. I’m not sure she should be held liable for…

I honestly don’t know how I feel about this verdict. I mean, everything I’ve read about the case tells me this girl is horrible and morally culpable, but I just don’t know enough about the law to say whether she’s legally culpable. And even if she is, I don’t know that I think she should be.

She needs a psychiatrist and counseling. All day every day.

“You’re ‘bout as cute as / An old coupon expired”

“They want you to stand for something, but once you do, and if you don’t do it perfectly, they’re ready to take you right down.”

For ages you weren’t even considered pregnant until you felt the baby move, and if you happened to take a herbal drink to ‘get back your regular period cycle’, what of it? Plus, in the US especially, at least some of the abortion restrictions can be linked to doctors thinking they knew more than midwives and trying to…

The tragedy isn’t this man’s fall from grace, it’s that he was able to make us believe that he was, in fact, Heathcliff Huxtable, when it was just another character he played. He’s been doing it his whole life, and now we get to see who he really his. He’s not a mentor, he’s not a family man, he’s just another Goddamn…

It says that she’s the current queen of hip-hop. It’s suppose to be competitive. If you’re at the top, be prepared to protect yourself from shots. If you look at it’s history, whomever is at the top has had to fend off multiple challengers, 50 cent beefed with everyone, Eminem beefed with everyone. Nas vs Jay, 2pac vs…

IMO I think Remy bringing other female rappers together onstage is because Nicki doesn’t really help bring up any women in the rap game at all and is hogging all the visibility/opportunities/money etc. In addition to highlighting that before Nicky there were other female rappers that paved the way and were successful.…

You know those women who say “I just prefer to hang with guys because girls are just so much DRAMA.” And 9 out of 10 they are, in fact, the drama? And probably have also been awful to every woman friend they ever had? I feel like that’s Nicki. People always say “omg why can’t female rappers get along, women are always…

But every single thing you've posted has done nothing except try to make this about you and your contributions to good whiteness. I mean that in the royal sense too. And, yes, I would've said the same things to all of those people, because the death of Matthew Shepard was not about straight people. It's not that hard…

You have some work to do. If you think kindness is the limit of what is needed to stop mass death of Black teenagers, you have some work to do. If you think the primary meaning of this essay was that you should apologize for something, or was even about white people, you have some work to do. If you don't understand…

As a white person, I was wondering why the author didn't answer those questions, but then I realized that it's not their job to tell me how to be a decent human being. After all, it's not "positive behaviors" us good white people want to be congratulated for; we expect to be patted on the back for treating black…

I guess the question is "How can white people be supportive of the issue without seeming to demean or take over the issue? " If white people don't talk talk about what they do in the situation, then the narrative is that white people are ignoring the issue (which so many do). If white people talk about the issue,…

Not talk about it. You can just do the right thing without telling everyone. That's not only for issues of racism, it's also just a general rule. You shouldn't need positive reinforcement for being a decent person. Just be one.
