Baby is cute.

I wonder if it's not a little something different.

"These are things I have never even heard of," he told the paper. "It is impossible to believe these things are true. This is not how the Missoula County Attorney's Office conducts itself. These are half-truths, mistruths and maybe even outright lies."

considering that teacher in Montana received a 30 day sentence for raping a student of his who later committed suicide, these allegations don't surprise me.

Outrageous. If this is all true, Mr. Van Valkenburg does not deserve this job. Organizational culture starts from the top. This is a case study is why rape is so under reported. Who wants to be revictimized by those who are supposed to prosecute your rape case in the even unlikely event it even makes it that far?

I think another factor that isn't often addressed is that in media, a white person is almost always one-half of an interracial relationship. Rarely do you ever see two people of color who are different races in a relationship on-screen.

Yep I think it's pretty obvious not all interracial couples have the same experience. I'm lily white and my husband's Korean. We get lots of confusion (eg when boarding trains/buses, dining out, or dealing with the condo management office, the default assumption is we're separate parties) but never any hostility at…

I abhor the expression "boys will be boys". Why the hell is "boys will be boys" an excuse for anything? If it's an acceptable phrase, it's time we redefine the word "boy" and actions that are acceptable and taught to those who fit under the word "boy".

Van Valkenburg filed a motion hoping to prove that the DOJ doesn't have jurisdiction over his office,

I suspect that white guy + Asian girl would be the least objected to, just as the white girl + black guy is the most objected to. Asian guy + white girl would also be considered weird ("She's into Asian guys? But there's so short!" etc etc).

Also, regarding gay and lesbian interracial relationships: anecdotally, I'd…

Van Valkenburg: Why don't those DOJ people understand that the little girls were asking for it? Wearing tight kindergarten dresses and wiggling their butts when they walk. Clearly sluts.

Will Smith was paired with Eva Mendez in Hitch because a white female lead wouldn't play well with audiences and two black leads make it a black film.

Everyone knows that interracial couples are the real racists. It's right there in the name "racial". See? That's racist. Conservatives are the only true liberals today.

Did you write that black women were considered "pariahs" if they dated outside of their race? If so, I was gonna say, I'm not sure I agree with that. I feel like within the black community, there are mixed opinions about us dating outside of our race. Black men either get upset or they don't care. Same thing with…

They exist because it's useful data collection for statisticians, especially as we know that there is a disparity of services and access based on color in the US. In order to change that hard metrics are needed.

Black women are invisible (in the pop culture/media world) so they're really not a threat. Black men have always been a threat. I still think this is at the root of it. I think a lot of ignorant people might Tragic Mulatto the little girl and her sad circumstance but I don't think we've made it past the basics. I…

"interracial children are confusing. They can't be put in a box. Who are they?"

First of all, considering the biggest thread in this morning's Dirtbag, timely article haha.

I don't know why this data should be surprising. Black men were lynched for even looking at a white woman in the past. It has everything to do with ownership. White men believed themselves to be better than all other races and as such, entitled to the use of all others. This included white women. Only they are allowed…

Can we have all the racists tested for their racial makeup and film their reactions when they find out they're not pure whatever they think they are? That's a reality show I'd watch every week.
