when i was working at a Johnny Rocket’s in east LA about eight years ago, we had a large black clientele. the entire waitstaff except for me was latino and anytime a black customer came in nobody would serve them. they used to say the nastiest s***, especially about the tipping habits. i was like wow, white people are…

can’t help but compare this to the badass, classy way Amy Schumer handled the heckler who yelled ‘show us your tits’ during a performance last fall. god, women are so much better than men. 

i am so damn sorry and mortified. my race is awful. nothing else to say.

WOW. I was not aware of that. What a slice of dick cheese.

Well we differ in our subjective definitions of talent then. But of the two of us you seem far more concerned with inciting comment debates on this article for some reason, so I’ll just let you have this one.

Have you ever read her writing? She’s incredibly talented.

Having 14 monthly mortgages and probably close to a million bucks in annual property taxes alone would eat into that cool 2 mill pretty quick I’d imagine

I’d have to imagine paying 14 mortgages and annual property taxes on each would put a dent in that figure pretty quick.

It could be above ground / night outside.

Except...she was responsible. There were no witnesses to their exchange in the grocery store, just her testimony, which was false. She told her husband knowing that he was both a racist and physically abusive, and he and relative murdered Emmett Till. Then, she lied on the stand and both the killers were acquitted.

I’d say queens branch of the 7 or the N.

Actually (as of a 2006 provision, thanks bush) he would not need congressional approval to send in the national guard, or even federal non-reserve troops, if he deems it an ‘emergency basis’. Under those circumstances his command overrides the state governor as head of a national guard militia. Usually the main reason…

i’m torn. on one level, she married a man with much more political and financial power than her. judging from their public behavior he’s likely abusive, or neglectful at best. guarantee he’s got her in a pre-nup that would ruin her and her son financially, if not something more sinister. wouldn’t be surprised if…

yeah she just signed up to be a trophy wife.

xovain was the only good part of that site. I used to read xojane a bit before it got peak awful, and then a couple years ago I quit cold turkey. Never looked back. Those commenters make even the worst Jezebel commenters look like peace activists.

Ugh everything about her is heinous. I remember an article where she talked about getting a tampon stuck in her vagina for literally weeks. WEEKS. That person should not be employed. 

Sadly there is a lot of evidence proving your point. Just look at the gay rights movement. it’s no coincidence that a white-male driven movement stands as the most legislatively successful social reform movement in US history. And, the fastest: 45 years between stonewall and the federal legalization of gay marriage.…

like I said that is fair. in a perfect world we’d all implicitly share / support / attend demonstrations in favor of equality regardless, and nobody would ever need to evolve their awareness to get there. But humanity is not perfect. Activism is built on the faith that people can change. it’s always been the nature…

Honest question: Why the attachment to distrust? What does that serve you? Your argument about maintain concern is valid. But why make a series of blanket assumptions about the participants and their enthusiasm? What is wrong with taking part? What does suspicion and fatalistic thinking accomplish that staying focused…
