As a white woman, I actually see Madonna and Miley as caricatures. They do things for the SOLE PURPOSE of being controversial (see: Madonna using the word "nigga" and wearing a hijab and... well, there are just a lot of things about Miley that bother me) while I see Beyoncé and Nicki as pop culture symbols of…

I want to give more stars to this.

As a white person, I was wondering why the author didn't answer those questions, but then I realized that it's not their job to tell me how to be a decent human being. After all, it's not "positive behaviors" us good white people want to be congratulated for; we expect to be patted on the back for treating black…

I know, right? Oppression Olympics only works out in favor of the oppressors. "Sure, we'll deal with that whole rape thing when there are no women being stoned in other countries, ok?"

Because that's a total dead end of a thought process. "You can't care about A because B is worse and is also happening." There's always something worse. You can't care about B because C exists. Only spoiled people will worry about C because people with D have real problems. Of course D is small potatoes compared to E.

I'm so glad you shared that with me. It added a lot to my day.

Yo are you in the dungeon right now bc you seem like a giant troll.

As one of the few adults that honked in solidarity with the kids as I was blocked on Broadway this morning, I would also like to mention there were a tremendous amount of signs promoting feminism/gender equality/equal pay/etc in addition to Mike Brown/Eric Garner/Tamir Rice.

But why didn't she do something to stop him? I'm not saying it was okay for him to attack her, but it was a public event and she could've said "no" or yelled for security anytime and since I didn't read anything in this statement about her doing that, I can only conclude she must've consented to being slapped. And…

I'll never understand people who say, "Oh, they said I can say whatever I want, therefore he DESERVED to have a bad thing happen to him!" It's as if morality completely ceases to exist when there are no consequences for you as an individual.

You know, I've been angry about all this commentary but I actually think it provides a great example of why we need affirmative consent laws. You have people all up in this supposedly 'progressive' space arguing that that the burden is on victims to stop violent assaults from happening, with the underlying assumption…

uh greed.

Whether or not Janay Rice chooses to remain in this relationship is irrelevant. People stay in abusive relationships for all sorts of reasons. She can make that choice. It's not really about her at this point. If the NFL accepts a player who is videotaped beating his wife unconscious, it is sending a strong…

So, let me get this straight: Missori cops want to punish black men for putting their hands up and saying "Don't shoot." Hrm.

I think you're safe.

Being drunk doesn't excuse any form of illegal activity. It doesn't excuse killing someone with your vehicle. It shouldn't excuse being abusive towards an intimate partner.

WHAT ABOUT MY SHOULDERS?

LOL NO I DIDNT

maybe they won a contest? i can't believe they work for someone who thought they would excel in this position.
