I have that Donahue show on tape! Raul Julia's quote about how grain used to feed cattle could feed all the world's hungry people still haunts me. (He wasn't a vegan, as I recall, just providing another point in their defense.) God, he was so great.

"We have an economy that's pretty much based on war and Christmas."

I wish I was ballsy enough to go braless on national television.

I think it is implying that Bonet "felt" or "sense" something wasn't right and wanted to get away from his control.

I will never NOT tell this tale: I had DINNER WITH HER when I was in college, we were hosting a Roe V Wade debate. I drew the short straw and had to take her out while my friend took Sarah Weddington out.

The irony of Phyllis Schlafly is that her life is actually a great feminist example. She's had a rich and varied career, doing basically what she wanted when she wanted, while still raising a family and building a media empire. It's enough to make you wonder if she's really trolling the right wing...like, when she…

Feeling goood on a Wednesday... being a baybayyy...

ya ya ya

You are right! And since there also seems to be no photographic evidence to the contrary, we must come to the conclusion...SHE HAS NO RIGHT SIDE OF HER FACE

i need a goddamn vodka.

Your answer is exactly the problem I'm having. I asked an honest, sincere question. Your reaction was to insult me, while giving a thoughtful response. However, another person had a completely different answer and encouraged the question and gave an equally thoughtful response. Two different people, two highly…

because the death of Matthew Shepard was not about straight people.

There are no "good white people", " good black people", "good hispanic people", ect.... There are only GOOD PEOPLE!!!! We need to take race out of it.

Sometimes I think good white people expect to be rewarded for their decency. We are not like those other white people. See how enlightened and aware we are? See how we are good?

Your assumption here is a problem. You assume that the commenter is looking for a prize. They aren't. They are saying they don't need to apologize for sympathy and empathy which is offered without reward to all walks of life. That the automatic assumption (on your part, it would seem) that they are saying these…

I thought it was a wonderful piece, but I sincerely doubt that most good white people—or at least the good white people who run in my circles—believe that they "deserve a fucking prize." I think they're expressing empathy.

This has given me all the feels. I am struggling not to cut all of the white people out of my life (kind of hard, given I'm married to a white man) and many of those people are "good white people." They are shocked at racism and racist behavior— so much so they I get links to racist posts on websites because they…

I guess the question is "How can white people be supportive of the issue without seeming to demean or take over the issue? " If white people don't talk talk about what they do in the situation, then the narrative is that white people are ignoring the issue (which so many do). If white people talk about the issue,…
