I not worried (yet) about catching it myself, because I'm not in a high risk group, but I am getting concerend about the possibility of a substantial outbreak in the US. I know we have the infastructure to contain an outbreak before it reaches pandemic levels, but I have a bad feeling many more lives may be lost…

Politicians use abortion as a distraction from their shitty draconian economic policies and corporate cronyism. It's a distraction that actually messes up people's actual lives, but a distraction nonetheless. They can get people to vote against their own economic interests if they can just point in the general…

Howard lost the part in Iron Man 2 because he suggested that the War Machine armor should have a built-in baby wipes dispenser. True story.

Did YOU read the whole comment? Or, better yet, listen to it, since it was a video interview? Raven specifically said that she didn't know anything about her African roots and was just american and american is "colorless."

Glenn Beck was enthusiastically endorsing Raven's comments. I'm saying that's not a good sign that Raven handled that interview very well, with him being a massive racist and all.

I'm white, but if Glenn Beck immediately and enthusiastically posts a link to a video of your comments with a taunting tone, all "See? Finally a good one!," I'm going to go out on a limb and say you're doing it wrong.

I get that aspect, I myself don't ever say African whatever because I am many generations Canadian. Perhaps had she clarified that or communicated her dislike of the usage while still owning her heritage the message would have come across better. As it was her statement fell flat and sounded more like she was…

Thank you, that's flattering. But I wasn't trying to set myself up as some paragon of virtue, I was just kind of trying to illustrate my personal experience and how the fear a lot of women describe become more salient and clear to me.

I think if anything racists like other races existing, without a clearly delineated Other just who would they be able to blame for all their ills?

I've heard that. But usually people who hate their spouses this much end up on a Dateline special. This option has less homicide, which is always a plus.

What annoys me is that Twigs has to put out a twitter message. If Pattinson had at least one fucking testicle, he'd put a message out.

When Robert was looking for a new girlfriend, he reportedly told a friend, "I don't care what ethnicity she is, I just want someone with more than one facial expression."

Yes, yes, this. A million times yes.

To me, it's just stupid insensitivity. Because even if the person who sent the tweet was only thinking "this is her most well known line from her most well known role," there IS baggage attached that white privilege lets white people ignore. I had to stop and think (as a white person trying to be a good ally) about…

The same kind that made the memorial necessary in the first place.

"She Who Stays Woke, Kara Brown, Our Lady Of Killing It, Teller of Truths and Dispeller of Lies."

Another great piece from She Who Stays Woke, Kara Brown, Our Lady Of Killing It, Teller of Truths and Dispeller of Lies.

The envy/jealousy card is being played a little late here. Just out of minor curoisity: What on earth does Angelina Jolie have of which I am jealous or envious? If you're going to make such a sweeping generalization, I'd hope you'd have the balls to make some attempt to back it up. ETA: And I guarantee you ...…

Lately, I've been talking a lot with my dad about the nature of racism. He's more inclined to give everyone the benefit of the doubt and identify this as stupid and close-minded, but not racist (perhaps it's because he grew up in the 1960s, when racism was explicitly stating that POC were inferior/supporting…
