I used to work at an immigration law firm run by a Jewish couple and their Iranian-American partner. In addition to being the first white people to treat me like a human being first and foremost instead of as a black person they gave me the best advice on race in America: 5% of White people will dislike you because…

People using charts on US census percentages are missing the point. I find it hard to believe that non-white americans only account for 21% of these mid-price to luxury companies sales profits.

Calvin Klein is the only designer who had more than 1 black model on the runway.

The fact that most of the slots for models of color are filled by the same girls, usually top models like Smalls, Wen, Dunn, etc. speak to the idea that people of color are acceptable when —and only when— the public is used to us, familiar with us, comfortable with us.

Is it weird that I'm Team Liam?

I hope this is just a case of inflection being indecipherable on the internet and you're not actually acting like he had just cause to feel the country...

The whole case makes me absolutely sick. That people are willing to forgive and forget and work with a dude who literally sodomized a child... ugh. I just can't. If I knew a dude did that I'd want nothing to do with him, yet Hollywood lets this guy have a pass. Ugh. UGH.

I don't think her attitude is "eh, whatever." She says it was rape, she says it was wrong. I think she's just trying to explain how twisted up her thoughts were at the time, as a result of being young, naive, drugged, and badly parented. She didn't understand what was and wasn't normal in regards to sex, maturity and…

It's japan. Of course they have that!

I don't get it.

What I also find interesting or at least my point of view is the level of insecurity at the success of minorities some of these people must feel. They are happy when blacks, latinos, asians, etc are doing stereotypical things but the moment a minority is somehow "superior" to them (be it finanacially, in the work…

The American dream is to work hard and achieve success. But as all minorities who achieve success learn very fast, you're then somehow no longer considered "a real American." i.,e. Obama, Miss America. Most people do not consider themselves racists but as soon as a minority achieves something a White person is not…

It's always fascinating that such strict nativists, who likely hate foreigners who speak other languages, take no pride in the English language and using it fluently.

Scientology is dangerous.

People can select gender, but they can't select shape of figure or face?

I've never been to the Jersey Shore (and after that show of the same name aired, I had no great desire to go) but I can't help feeling so bad. I mean, they finally get the boardwalk reopened and this happens?

So sad. This weekend was going to celebrate a 100 years of the boardwalk. Even with Jersey shore being a trashy representation of the shore, board walks will always have a soft spot in my heart. I hope this community can rally together and rebuild, yet again.

The victim is going to be on his show tomorrow. I'm shocked. It seems so exploitative to have these minors discussing what happened on television before the trial.

I watched The View at the health club (so- no volume, reading the close captioning) and Dr. Phil was the guest host. He was talking about the episode, and according to the close captioning, said things along the lines of "there is no consent when a girl is drunk, because she cannot consent when she doesn't understand,…
