I do have one dealy-bop. The last line has a minor problem with it.

"Robertson said when she pitched a story about an African-American model who'd been killed, Gleick told her the victim looked like a "slut" and the magazine wasn't interested."
Can we sue them for constantly blathering about the Duggars like they are some sort of American royalty?
This attitude is supremely unhelpful. Those of us who were born/raised here don't want to leave. We want to make it better. Besides, let's not act as if Texas or the South in general has a monopoly on crazy.
Wendy Davis is proposing an end to the statute of limitations on sexual assault in the State of Texas.
Ew. I have never once tried to imagine having sex with Beib, and now that I have, I wish I could go back to simpler times. I imagine him to not try at all, last 5-7 pumps, and leave thinking he rocked your world. Even in my imagination he's a humongous douche, and I'm thoroughly creeped out.
Zero tolerance is bullshit. If you're a student and get jumped by another student, you are both suspended or expelled for fighting. It results in either ridiculous numbers of suspensions, or spotty and unequal enforcement.
Good. I mean, I'm reminded of the recent topic of discussion in Texas where minorities(juvenile) were considerably more likely to be tried by the judicial system as adults than their white counterparts and I'm glad that this is acknowledging that* as well within school systems.
Fucking hallelujah. I worked in the juvenile court for eight years and zero tolerance laws were always a menace. They didn't allow for discretion, they were unproven and yes, the more time you spend in jail, the less likely you are to graduate from high school. Zero tolerance policies did not have any demonstrable…
They have a fear of anyone seeing their penis. Simple as that. That's why they wear their swimsuits to the beach or pool, and why board shorts are the common swimsuits. It's a thing that starts as a teen. It becomes "gay" to be naked in front of anyone you know. Then, swimsuits get wet and clingy, and often leave an…
I just wanted it for the first time a few weeks ago (it was one of my movie channels.) And wow, exaggerated or not, I can absolutely believe everything about it.
I love the crap out of that movie. It's at the top of my list for insta-schadenfreude. Must watch right now.
Did she ever see Game Change?
Did you not write that nywoman was uninformed about her own heritage and it was therefore appropriate for localsp to tell her all about it?
It's almost as if countries become isolated from their point of origin and develop their own culture separate from the one they came from. It's almost as if...I don't know, I'm just spitballing here, but it's almost as if Jamaican people don't identify as West African because...culturally and geographically, they're…
Yeah but she didn't grow up in Jamaica so how is she appropriating by wearing what you consider American clothes, as an AMERICAN?
Those are wild questions when the person you're speaking to is American, and those things are a part of American, or western culture (not to mention international at this point). Why don't white people in America with Dutch ancestry wear those wooden shoes, why don't white men in America with Scottish ancestry wear…
