A few years back, I was witness to a proposal at church. If this had been a small church that both families had belonged to for years I could maybe see it being okay.

I think a more accurate comparison would be Rita Hayworth aka Margarita Cansino. Her natural hair had a widow's peak, which the powers that be at the studio thought looked "too ethnic." Their solution? Electrolysis! They have improved the process, but at the time it was quite painful.

When I read that I was like "Really?" In what universe are most of the Cosby kids light skinned? As you say, Rudy, Theo and Vanessa were brown skinned. Denise and Olivia? (I think that was her name) were light skinned.

I love her name! Some will say it's an old lady name, but hopefully she will be an old lady someday. Good luck to her, her dad and her mom.

Yes, that viewpoint is particularly American. In many other countries children live with their parents until marriage. Or the children may move back in if the parents are elderly or in ill health. I have a good opinion of someone who is willing to give up some things in life in order to take care of his or her…

These are the same people who have a black friend—that guy in accounting they talk to at the water cooler occasionally.

So it will work if the men are creeps, but not the women? Okay...

I'm sorry, I've got to disagree. Even if you use a condom every time, your risk of contracting disease still goes up with the number of partners. Really unfortunately, you can still get herpes, crabs or scabies even with a condom. The last two can be easily fixed, but herpes is for a lifetime. So if you sleep with x…

3+1=4 . That isn't a threesome.

I've seen this before and on re-watching, I think this is far, far worse than the video this post is about. And it raises so many questions. How did that happen? Wasn't it painful? Why is he allowing her to do this in front of a bunch of other people? I'm assuming no insurance as the reason for not going to a doctor;…

Even more so if you wait for a sale. I bought a package of the All ones last November on sale at Safeway for $11.99. I think there were 72 of them in there. I didn't have to buy any again until this March. Last month I got 82 at Target for around the same price. I don't anticipate having to buy laundry detergent…

"As for the Chelsea Clinton one, I made the mistake of talking about the time I met her at a party, she sexually assaulted me, then attacked me for turning her down."

I notice that, and it's creeping me out. Especially this, which sounds an awful lot like what I've read pedophiles write:

I have an acquaintance who used to be a reporter for the L.A. Times; he told me the exact same thing.

You know? When was that? I must have missed it.

Black people growing up in white neighborhoods can also have black friends.

How could he do that? Wouldn't he have to be married to the mother of the child for it to be legitimate?

You mean if she hadn't had an affair with a married man? And was also married herself at the time?

Also being black, having acne (at 40!) and the resulting scarring, I would suggest you see a dermatologist if you can. Specifically, one who is familiar with treating black patients. If you are in or near a city with a significant black population, you should be able to find one. If you're in NYC, you might go to Dr.…

"But I can't - because you're always walking around with your damn earbuds in ("Don't talk to me!") and your sunglasses on, even when they're not necessary (which incidentally doesn't make you look cool or sexy, only unapproachable). "
