It takes a village.

If we were downsizing, cheerleading would be considered redundant. Cheerleading is a sport that relies on a school to have another sport.

I wasn't too cool, but too poor and too black. No money for uniforms, camp, transportation to and from practice, etc.

That's just nasty.

I don't need to address racism. It is thrown in my face every single day I go out in the world with my brown skin. Racism did not prevent Miss New York from becoming Miss America. However, being an asshole to other women most certainly did help her become Miss America. It is what Miss America is all about. Not…

I agree with your #2. It seems like a lot of white people are using this as an opportunity to spout how great they are. A pile-on implies that Paula Deen is a racist and everyone who piles on is not. I wish that volume of anti-racism would come through in everyday interactions.

Not good.

It's like everything they say is a title to an essay.

What if it is not "desperate to make others believe she is satisfied," but the satisfaction of sticking it to others?

So it is the nagging wife's fault?

I wouldn't pay it and I wouldn't tolerate them bugging me. At first I would have paid for it, but as soon as they said no (at least twice, because I would have asked one more time before I left) then it is a no.
