I always found the whole "introverts are like your smart phone" explanation to be rather condescending. The only time I feel the need to "recharge" is when I'm around the same people in close quarters for like a week. Introverts are stimulated by other people, but they don't view talking to other people as as…

"The dominant culture of Egypt DOES NOT TREAT OR SEE WOMEN AS EQUALS. This makes it a bad culture. Egyptian culture is dominated by brown people and it happens to be toxic."

Once again, I repeat, what does "The West" have anything to do with it? Why feed into the clash of civilizations mindset that only empowers extremists on both sides? Are you trying to make a point about how "The West" (read: white people) is culturally superior? You think the situation would be different if only they…

Shhh. Racism doesn't count on Jezebel if it's against Middle Eastern men.

Is it worse? These statistics don't seem to think so

I just really don't understand why you have to be all Orientalist about it. No one's denying the reality in Egypt, but any time you find yourself saying "It's just so much worse than in Western countries" about anything, there should be a moment of pause, since "The West" isn't even an actual geographic category.

I'm always amazed at how many straight-up falsehoods get taught to us in elementary school.

If in her mind she's Gucci Mane, then she's on the bath salts for sure.

Honestly, I'm just surprised it took white people this long to start appropriating twerking and "ratchetness." I was starting to get scared that white people thought our culture wasn't worth stealing anymore.

So I guess you can necrophiliac to his already long list of accomplishments.

If the Democratic Party is really that out of ideas such that they actually nominate Hillary then we will see just how truly rotted from the inside the Republican Party is, because Hillary in 2016 is an 88mph 4-seamer left waist-high right over the plate, but she'd still destroy Rubio, Cruz, Paul, or anyone from the…

If you're someone who believes the US government is the enforcer of all virtue in the world, then yes, you should.

But there's no sex in the champagne room!

He really just loathes everyone.

Carl Franklin, Antoine Fuqua, F. Gary Gray, the Van Peebleses, go back to Gordon Parks, John Singleton even shows life from time to time. A lot of very competent directors that will never get the chance to truly take risks or work with actual scripts.

So Tyler Perry's a "job creator"... Yeah, that sounds about right. Foisting bad art upon the world is a disservice to humanity.

The quote was "this is the sort of activism that addresses real issues and provides resources that enable communities", which carries the implication of "if only all those angry lefties would put down the protest signs and instead start opening businesses then we'd be somewhere."

When people talk about food deserts, it's generally in an effort to explain structural reasons for the obesity crisis, which I'm not denying the legitimacy of, but the problem goes deeper than that.

I understand the logic, and also the structural reasons for obesity that exist, which should absolutely be eliminated, but if suburbia also has the same problem then I doubt a supermarket-enabled hood would be much different.
