Texas probation officer here, don't judge me haha. Anyway, just because you're registered doesn't mean that you have any conditions prohibiting you from, well, anything. If he's done with his probation or parole, then he's free.

If you're openly crying in the office your boss is absolutely correct to address it. And she's right that it is making you look ... not great.

Yeah, I was expecting much worse than this, like "maybe you need to lose 20 pounds". THAT would be fucked up. It sounds like her friends are doing the best they can, and these are very individual things that this particular author doesn't want to hear. Other people may indeed like to hear these things. Humans are…

This is it. The most privileged article ever published on Jezebel. You did it guys. WE did it.

I get what you mean (where you grew up). I'd also consider that with the "right" outfit and training, you'd "pass" in the dominant society in a way that your peers would not.

I had the same reaction. I grew up in poverty and in a very diverse town. I've always been poor, I've always been held back by financial bounds. I'm at a place in my life where I may continue college and better my life, but only if financial aid holds out. I bristle a little at "black culture" being diminished to…

Great post! I have thought about this a lot (only White girl who grew up in public housing exclusively populated by Black families). I think that coming from a background like ours, it is not appropriation like it is for Miley.

He played a doctor on a Canadian tv show for a while. It was HORRIBLE.

Sadly, we cannot blame Canada for ole Billy Ray. He at least did not appropriate another people's culture because he hails from Kentucky, home of the bluegrass.

...Billy Ray Cyrus isn't Canadian...
