I just see Caroline's dad (Vampire Diaries) when I see Sally's husband.

I'm thinking this means literacy of the clitoris; an aim for better sex for women.

Do the Cherokee know their numbers are so large?

YES! Open mic. Oh, Mellie.

I heard her voice and did a double take. I just finished rewatching "The Office".

Related sidenote: Saw this on Buzzfeed just now. I rather love this idea and I watch both shows. I'm rather in love with Nicole Beharie; she's gorgeous and I dig her acting. I will watch both these women until I'm not allowed anymore.

My freshman year of college a girl in my class told us that her track coach told her that we actually did have extra tendons/muscles in our legs. She didn't find out that it wasn't true until that class. She would never catch us because anatomy is different for us. I've always been fast and had really strong legs as…

Surya Bonaly was who I watched as a little girl that made me want to skate. Dominique Dawes was who I looked at when I wanted to do gymnastics. While my sister and I didn't do gymnastics, we did skate and going to lessons every week and being the only black children was hard. While the children might not have been so…

Exactly. I feel like Rupert goes out of his way to look sloppy, so making comparisons between him and a guy who tries to always look good, doesn't work. I still don't understand the Neville love, but will Grint it all day.

I immediately heard that in Jim Jones' voice.

I was more thinking along the lines of his Jimmy Kimmel interview. It was very bizarre to watch Kimmel and Brian Williams*, basically say that that could only happen to someone as "cool". That was with audience laughter. Wayne seemed rather uncomfortable with the dialogue, but I imagine turning the idea of black male…

This reminds me of the reaction to Lil Wayne's story of "how he lost his virginity". It was framed as something cool and not the assault it was. Very bizarre message.

Argh. And they didn't stick the landing.

I actually taught my 4th graders about this 2 weeks ago. Different places list a different number of continents, especially when you talk about how some land masses aren't separated by much, if at all. We had a fun time coming up with names for Afro-Eurasia.

I guess the part that amazes me is that people actually know that there are black people in Brazil. So that question elicits both a "yay" and a "no".

It's interesting how certain names just have generational booms. I never see any of these names unless I see an article on Jezebel about them. I teach at a small private school, so there isn't much name overlap*. However, the most popular girl's name for the demographic (predominately black, lower to upper middle…

That is exactly the only thing I said when I saw that dress.

Thank you. It's funny because now that they're in 3rd grade they still come to me whenever they see an Addy book. They're rather sad I'm not reading it to my 4th graders this year.

I saw "Roots" (90s telecasts) and documentaries (Spike Lee's "4 Little Girls" has been with me forever) for the slavery and post-Reconstruction knowledge as a child. It doesn't take this to feel empathy or connect with the subject.

With the knowledge of slavery that I had as a child, this would have quickly turned into "Nat Turner's Rebellion". Especially me as a 7th grader, "Louverture!"
