Wealthy parents are no guarantee of anything. Two of the people I know have wealthy families, and they're ordinary people with college educations, somewhere on the border between working class and middle class.

MOAR PERIODS

I agree with your sentiment, but I am not sure if rich people all their money at public schools would fix the problems either. Some issues are institutional in these schools and not just based on the lack of money that the schools receive... There is a lot of corruption in some cases.

I'm all for knocking the rich, and have my pitchfork/torches ready for when we finally get around to storming the castle gates, but this article is disingenuous, circle-jerk trash talking of the lowest order. If writing a check was all it took to be a good parent, more rich kids would be useful citizens (as opposed to…

Invisibility-shamer!

Um, your use of "respectively" implies Olivia Wilde is dating Anna Kendrick & MJJ is dating Ron Linvingston... ?

Adding a touch of humor to the thread cannot hurt.

I'm a very nice person who cares about people, and that's why I know about this issue.

You truly are King of the Parenthetical, Doug. (not hating, just saying) ;)

Laura, check your sources. It's local poachers doing the majority of the killing. This has always been the way. Yes, it stinks that westerners participate in sporadic safaris. But they are not the big evil here. Check my other post. You'll see it's people other than Whites doing the damage.

That really is very pretty. I can see why she'd be drawn to the aesthetic, but she should leave elven culture to the elves. Appropriating this symbolic head-wear for the sake of fashion is just too offensive. Doesn't she even know about the elves being driven out of Middle Earth, even though they were there first?…

Dear Jezebel,

You say to a person who you don't know but who (a) purposefully moved from a lily-white suburb to a melting pot city to escape the casual racism of the burbs, (b) married someone who is an ethnic minority, (c) works on research about racial health care and outcomes disparities, (d) advocates for (1) the end of stop…

Looks like David K. Reinke, the shitty westerner(Lets be honest, you're trying to pin this completely on white men) has done more for rhinos than you'll ever do with this one shot article.

...maybe I don't look too bright....

You know most of the people doing the killing are a small number of native African poachers, doing it to make a profit off of the animals genitals and ivory because of demand for these things in Philippines, a few other countries, and especially China, right? The problem is China, and it won't stop until Chinese…

Needs moar Sontag:

Isn't "so much of this" due to Easterners demanding rhino horn for its alleged medicinal properties, and local poachers fulfilling that demand?

Curious how you left out the part about the rhino's impending extinction being more or less the result of Chinese demand for exotic animal parts for Chinese medicine.
