The Oregonian’s reporting was thorough and damning of Jennifer and Sarah Hart. I know their friends are grieving, but it’s incredible to me that anyone could have any doubts as to what happened.

They kept moving when child protective services were closing in on them. And they were able to get away with it for so long in part because of limited communication between state agencies and the fact that no central nationwide registry exists for child abuse or child welfare reports. 

Absolutely. Whilst I can’t speak for Latinx/African Americans, the misogynoir aspect parallels the sentiment expressed in my culture (non-Arab MENA); lighter is better. I don’t think it’s anywhere near as complex or complicated as the relationship Latin America and the Caribbean has with its mixed racial history,…

She’s black, Iggy Azalea is not.

Dude read the piece, seriously. I would rather be hit in the face by a partner (which I have been) than experience the shit he did to his partners. His cheating, gaslighting and ghosting was other-level.

Read the piece before you jump all over her. He absolutely abused these women emotionally. He cheated on, gaslighted and/or ghosted every woman he “loved” for YEARS. I’m sure it took some of them years to recover from that treatment. Plenty of women are raped and don’t destroy lives the way he did. And the way he…

You know there are light skinned black/mixed folx right? This isn’t a Rita Ora “she’s racially ambiguous” thing. Look at her sister, look at her. They are both black...

Cardi is perceived as a POC, she can go right on ahead and use the n-word

It’s a little weird to compare Trump—a man who has been accused of sexual harassment and assault countless times—to a woman who raps about consensual sex and dancing.

“Now, cheating and deliberately throwing it into the face of your partner, or gaslighting them about your cheating, can certainly be emotional abuse, I don’t want to discount that.”

Im sorry people are jumping on you; you can feel sorry both for a victim and for the people he victimizes. You can think of the women he hurt because their hurt due to his trauma helps us understand the full scope of how terrible trauma and abuse is, since it doesn’t just hurt the person who experienced but so many…

What is this coveted status Tony Robbins and George Will seem to think accusers enjoy? These turds think Anita Hill or Rose McGowan or Andrea Constand are walking around with a #MeToo punch card where if you accuse nine high profile men of sexual misconduct, you get a free mani/pedi with the tenth accusation.

I always get pissed off about these types of motivational speakers that view any type of externalization of blame as “victimhood” or “blaming others.” It always reads, to me, like what they’re trying to do is guilt you and make you dislike yourself so that you’ll buy their next book/attend their next seminar on how to…

Lorne Michaels hires too many people from the same areas, usually from Second City in Chicago. I heard Chris Rock had to personally recommend Leslie Jones to Lorne for him to give her a chance. I doubt a 40 year old black comedian like her would get a shot otherwise.

Snl’s funny when they do black stuff. They should have more black stuff.

SO weird! on this topic, my boyfriend posted something totally inappropriate and offensive and racial on insta last night. all things considered it was not the WORST i’ve seen but i was still like - wow you really have to go there? i was like. that’s not funny, and it’s pretty offensive. that’s tone deaf and…

Are you sure she’s white? Because I look white and my family is Mexican and Native American. Just saying. She may look one way and her DNA may say something else. Genetics are weird.

The most important takeaway here is that the New York Times so consistently refuses to hire people of color that they have not a single brown person who could provide commentary on this.

the yellow versions are the default (these hands belong to the smiling emoji faces, you guys), and I am immediately suspicious of any white person who went out of their way to change their preferred hands from default yellow to white. Like, you really really need people to know that you are a White American®

I don’t think the issue here is that the white guy is dispensing advice about when to use brown hand emojis. I think the issue here is that the white guy’s advice is fucking stupid and oblivious.
