It's a way of saying that someone who isn't black is accepted amongst black people. But some people mistake that acceptance for permission to call us "niggas".

Ok so why can she do it and I can't is my problem. Miley can twerk and dress in urban clothes and use slang. Its called being 20 being edgy, she is exploring. Yet if I do it there are a whole different set of cultural connotations and preconceptions placed on me. I can't do these things I am not afforded the space…

So what you're saying is that you're white.

So when will this phase she's going through die already? How does a girl go from not knowing a single Jay-Z song to being on a rap song? I think the day she casually uses the n word is the day her phase will die. All of her black "friends" (I say friends loosely) will drop her and she'll receive non-stop harsh…

Ugh. That is shitty, shitty parenting, and they should be told it is, but... Yeah, best you can do is keep your daughter away from families that say superheroes aren't for her.

Whaaat? Ok, that's definitely not legal. That's actually kind of abusive. I hope whoever is instituting that gets fired.

Well, since the concept of a pension seems to be a thing of the past, people aren't really given raises or bonuses based on tenure or performance - who gives a shit about that company, really?

I agree that we need more women at the upper levels of management, and penetrating male enclaves. I just don't agree that any individual woman (even a well-off high-flier) is obligated to stick it out if she's miserable, guilty, hating life, and/or feels that she would be happier at home, or her family would be better…

actually, i totally agree with you, and that's why this whole thing is driving me nuts. some privileged people did something, the nytimes made a thing out of it, but does it really capture anything real or important about our culture? or is it just a bs trend piece guaranteed to make people offend each other, with no…

I don't understand being against the thing that can prevent the need for an abortion.

Yeah.. it is so completely none of your business what I decide to do with my children, job, or my life in general. Worry about yourself.

That's fine, but my thing is, working parents managed to get all that stuff done AND work, so staying at home isn't necessary for the situation to work.

I don't even begrudge people who believe their marriage will last (frankly, I don't think you should get married if you don't believe that!) But believing your money-earning spouse won't be in a deadly accident... or get laid off... or one of your kids will need expensive medical treatment... or the economy will…

ps. 2006

Seriously. Stop focusing on gay marriage and abortion, and instead focus on what being a conservative is supposed to be about: smaller government. If you'd actually spend time talking about ways to make the federal government smaller and more efficient, and address the issues of crony capitalism - which both parties…

"There are very few Democratic women who can begin or finish a sentence without mentioning a 'woman's right to choose,'" Conway said...

That sad part of that is that she IS just being herself. Desperate and uninteresting.

I really, really dislike people who scam the system like this. I can't even put it into words. Maybe it all dates back to the one time my house was broken into, or the fact that I was raised to value a work ethic above almost all else, but theft of any sort just disturbs me, especially in cases like this where there…
