Well you know better than me about your body of course. But I am 5’3” and petite and my husband is 6’4” and 250 for what it's worth. I probably wouldn't describe myself as small-boned though.

You’ll be ok! Getting the drugs and not delivering in a car will make it much easier than this video portrays!!

Eh me and my husband were each 8.5 and 9.5 lbs and my son was 7lb 3oz right on time. Your body is not likely to give you a bigger baby than you can handle but anything is possible.

Well she was driving to a birthing center, so she likely did not want to deliver in a hospital.

It's not even that people are gross (though they are), but that people are programmed to think this way from birth. People don't have these kinds of biases because they suck - we all have them - but because this is the way our society is structured.

This is disgusting. I'm sick reading this. The Justice system is fucked up but this takes things to a whole new level.

#1 she assumed a position of power in a black organization posing as black. Stealing a position from a person who had no choice but to live their life as black & experience the oppression that the NAACP fights against. #2 if she did not lie, yes, this would be different. I know plenty of white people who would…

Awesome post. The other thing I think about trying to make “transracial” happen is that it is largely a phenomenon that only white people (and a small number of POC) can participate in. A visibly black person could never claim they are white, etc. so the term, like you alluded to, is one that is accessible only to…

Apparently she was “still white” when she went to Howard & when she was married. Seems she went off the deep end well into adulthood. I just can't even begin to understand her pathology.

Except she’s been saying she’s black for about 10 years. So for the first 27 years of her life she lived as a white woman. Not only that but she felt she had to lie about being discriminated against. So no she doesn’t understand being Black.

What does feeling black mean if you have spent almost your whole life as a white woman who has not experienced life as a black person?

It’s not “reverse passing” because she is not at all Black. black people “passingn” as white usually have significant white ancestry.

The thing about a light skinned black person saying they’re white is that they actually are. They probably have a white or biracial parent. It is not the same as having NO known African ancestry and claiming you are black. Both of her parents are 100% white (though I guess they said there’s some Native American…

The media did not victimize them more than the person who actually physically violated them. Josh was young, but he was not “very young,” he was 14 and he knew what he was doing was wrong. And yes I agree that the parents are ultimately to blame, but the perpetrator is also responsible.

I guess I don't understand the distinction. I don't think anyone is blaming the director or the stage manager of the Oscars for racism.

You forgot "alcoholic airline pilot," and I'm not seeing a whole lot of diversity there. Historical figures, assholes, people down on their luck. Tell us what types of roles white men are nominated for.

Dude, it's both. The academy and hollywood are part of the same machine. The problem is the film industry in general. They both suck.

Wait is it really the 1st time since 2011? That's not enough time to be "the first time since".

I know the answer to this already, but WHAT THE FUCK ABOUT CORPORATE WELFARE??? That's a fucking drain on the government's budget, but you're more concerned about a mother trying to feed her fucking children while working 2 jobs with no child support because her children's father is in jail for drugs or can't get a…

Oh yea they are all in cahoots. Sen. McCaskil and McCulloch are also intricately linked to Nixon, Roorda, Stenger (county executive), etc. And they're all democrats. That's why ppl don't vote. We need some people on the ballot who actually care about the black community in St. Louis & MO.
