So, towards the end of the article, the Zimbabwe situation was mentioned. To be clear, the government of Zimbabwe fucked this up bad, and in the process destroyed a huge part of the economy. White farm-owners got nothing, black farm-getters were not properly screened or trained to see if they knew how to —you know—…

Emotionally, I get this. Economically, I worry. If you didn’t, read the Quartz article Anne linked out to (obviously not talking to you, Anne :) ) - they lay out the problems pretty clearly. It is written by a pair of South African agricultural economists - one is white, one is black - so it’s not exactly a fluffy…
Not that hard to understand. As a kid, didn’t you ever break something your parents told you not to touch so you told them 3 black men raped and kidnapped you and knocked that Hummel figurine to the floor while they trying to make their escape.
I mean, we’ve all been there.
Starred both because you called out the glaring typo on Wagner-Wilson’s age and because of the Powers Boothe reference. That man was great
- Jim Jones was and still is one of the top Bogeyman.
Plus Letitia Wright was already cleverly taking down colonizers on Black Mirror before we even saw Black Panther. She been about that justice for black people life.
I’m disturbed by the fact that this is the first time I’ve ever heard of Toveet Radcliffe, but I’m not at all surprised.
I think all the paint just fell off my living room walls
Penalizing people who don’t lock guns securely in a safe, especially when they have kids and teens in the home.
Absolutely. My brother died suddenly 3 years ago, and if someone who hadn’t spoken to me in years (but knew how to contact me personally) took to social media to offer condolences, I would have been PISSSSSSSED. If SJP sincerely wanted to offer condolences, she should have done so privately. Her behavior comes of as…
I understand that the advent of social media has changed our social mores, but there is still etiquette to follow after the death of someone you know or know through others. It is absolutely not the time to make public conciliatory gestures like Parker’s because you are making it about YOU. If you want to extend an…
Good: 24 year old white woman adopts American kids instead of desperately throwing money at IVF or going to the far corners of the earth to adopt some other child.
I’m going to be honest with you, I am hesitant to share my thoughts on this. I’m not trying to take anything away from the good that was done. I just have some personal biases that are just that, biases.
Nice sentiment, but it almost reminds me of the pandering-seeming couple who adopted the baby of the heroin addict after the cop caught the mom about to shoot up. Is those boys’ birth mother getting the help she needs?
This is a very interesting story. I will say that after reading it twice... there is a lot to unpack going on here. Some good, some fairly worrisome. At the end of the day, what I hope for is a good life for the two kids.
This shit right here is why people don’t care when cops get shot. When you extrajudicially murder and treat people like enemy combatants, don’t be surprised when they view you as an illegally occupying force.
It’s not like it’s about the real football anyway. You know the really popular one. Played with feet.
