That was a compliment? I really couldn't tell.

Is George Clooney gay? I know the 'commitment issues' thing has always been the reason when he inevitably breaks up with whomever but remember those bizarre (unsolicited?) comments his sister made a few months ago? I used to fancy the knickers off him but nowadays not so much-not because of the so-called gay…
Uh, well, that's what actually happened. It was actually assumed by the police and her family that she had simply run away, so not much effort was ever put into finding her.
How, exactly, is Community supposed to work around Donald Glover's absence??
I think that was lankypanky's point. The public jumped to conclusions about Ms. Knight, causing her to be somewhat lost in the shuffle.
This story still terrifies me. It's literally the stuff that nightmares are made of. All the fairy tales humanity has written since the dawn of time were to protect us from people like Ariel Castro.
They seem a little star struck of the camera - I don't blame them considering the claustrophobia that was their lives for a damn decade. I'd been wondering about Michelle Knight. Hearing she'd turned her family away spoke volumes. She seems like a sassy pants in the video. I like it.
I'm from Cleveland and the love and support these women have received really speaks volumes about the people of Cleveland and what we are made of. Michelle Knight really brings it home for me. I love that she does not want to be defined by this and wants to help others who have been abused. I wish all three women…
The Courage Fund is clearly doing its work and paying for great therapy and support for them.
What brave young women. Sometimes the human spirit is amazing.
I'll admit I've been most fascinated by Knight, the "forgotten" one of the trio. It was so immediately assumed that she was a runaway slut that nobody appeared to give a rip about her for years. It was horrifying and fascinating that her family had trouble even producing a photograph of her.
Why should I be the one to educate, though? I'm not your teacher. If you're inquisitive, Google that ish. I'm just trying to go about my day in peace. I don't need the extra burden of educating people too lazy to educate themselves on their own time. Imagine a so-called well-meaning guy asking you to educate him on…
I get that society deems straight hair to be preferable and all, but another aspect I thought was interesting about Good Hair was how many of these products aimed at the black audience are being sold by white corporations. And I suspect that Rock's take on that is something akin to, "OK, if you're going to straighten…
Ugh that documentary is horrible. It rubs a lot of Black women the wrong way because Chris Rock comes across as condescending towards Black women for their hair choices, while failing to neglect why many Black women feel the need to make said choices.
Ooh, ooh — someone showed me the Deva Curl "find a stylist" thing the other day, where you can literally find stylists who work with the Deva Curl product and (I think) are curl-approved. I actually found about three stylists in my area. It was awesome. I'll take one for a test drive soon.
The best response I heard to that was, "Either I grew it or I bought it, so yeah — it's mine."
Oh Ms. Banks, so funny. Ratchet ass white girls are why your album sales stay up honey. Don't bite the hand that feeds.
I feel like Taran Killam is behind the times on the apple maps joke... what is this, 2012?
I'm baffled at the people who a) want to touch someone else's hair and b) think that's totally okay. I was originally surprised at the "you can touch my hair" thing in New York because it's never occurred to me to touch some stranger's hair. I know that a black woman's hair probably feels different than mine; do I…
I am firmly in the "Don't touch my fucking hair, what is wrong with you?" camp.
