I’m having traumatic flashbacks. My stomach still hasn’t forgiven me for that day.

OMG, I am having such a wave a nostalgia right now I’m nearly in tears. I discovered this book, along with a vibrator, in my mother’s private drawer (man, kids are snooping assholes!) and my life was never the same.

I remember finding this when I was 9, tucked away in my mother’s nightstand.

I’ll give you that it’s complicated, but generally speaking nobody is going to raise a fuss if you politely ask a woman you know out once, she declines, and you don’t approach her again.

(I am not involved in this and am kind of poking my nose in, but I legitimately and for real love this interaction cum fanpersoning moment you’re having here.)

I don’t, I just have a lot of friends there and saw the Evening Standard video too. Right now I live in Ottawa (God help me, it’s terrible here) but I’m from Vancouver, BC. And not a guy, but everyone seems to think I’m a bitter old gay man.

“For Jared Kushner, Jared News is always hard to believe because it’s evidence that despite appearances, he’s alive–his Russia connection is tech magnate Yuri Milner.”

Y’all can’t get mad at this man for telling HIS story. For once I read something on The Root that was just straight-up informative; and did not invoke feelings of anger or sadness in me...or more disdain for racists- (mostly white) racist people. It was refreshing to read about someone else’s life without passing…

“As you press those tight paper folds together in an attempt to make one indignant lip”...

In first to say I SAID WHAT THE FUCK I SAID.

Because most of us black men are disgustingly insecure and have to keep black women down so they dont feel like theyre at the bottom.

Based on a few of the comments expressing these ashy mofos’ point of view, Russell is “stupid” for being with a woman like Ciara. What’s wrong with Ciara, you ask? Well, she’s “been around.” Meaning it’s known that she has dated actual humans besides Future and Russell. So he is stupid for acting that way over “that…

Okay Future.

And what really more can be said about people so invested Ciara’s unhappiness — and the perpetual unhappiness of other black women who happen to have children with men they are no longer in relationships with (which is really what this is all about)

I married a corny guy and I hope my daughter does too.

Ha thanks, though I don’t know if I’d call it heroic so much as basic decency. When you have shitty abusive bosses in this industry you go either one of two ways: perpetuate the cycle when you get a shred of power, or make sure you don’t act that way ever.

I’ve taken the bitch path too. Or rather, it’s on a sliding scale. My current job isn’t too bad and I’m merely the salty one of the bunch. I have a strict no hugging policy, don’t really talk about my personal life, etc. It sucks sometimes to be so closed off, but I’ve also found that those that are likely to be…

RAGE STROKE.

Amen. I took the “bitch” path. They don’t like me but I am still employed and make more $ than my “say nothing back” peers. (Not that there is anything wrong with that, I envy them, their day may be more tolerable)

It’s still very much a man’s world, and HW was not a special snowflake in his terrible behavior. I’ve come to the conclusion that women have only two choices when it comes to enduring workplace misogyny, harassment, and bullying: be a total fucking bitch from the start or be a guy. There’s rarely a scenario where…
