I’m a straight woman of color and my dad sexually abused me. Let me spell out to you what incest meant to me. I can remember only a very few moments of my childhood ever being happy. There are no childhood photos of me smiling. I spent much of my childhood in my bed, under a blanket, crying. I was completely…

Filipina nannies know how to make those delicious Tagalog Cookies. 

I had almost the same experience, except I kept accidentally texting my McDonald’s servers with messages meant for my SO saying “OHHH NOOOO NOT ANOTHER BLACK MCDONALDS SERVER!!!!!!”

Plasco-Flaxman claims that they had a bad experience with the nanny immediately preceding Maurice, and that nanny just so happened to be black, so this time, they were hoping not to get another black, but to instead get a Filipina.

I agree. Sure, we can find a particular individual who is or was overweight due to laziness, lack of self control, etc. I can look in the mirror and see that person. I made the decision to lose a fair amount of weight, mainly through exercise and changes in diet (as opposed to “dieting”). I wasn’t obese, but I was…

All we (and black women have been) are saying is it is time for black men to stop being the hurt people who hurt people. And doing so will make our families and communities better.

“Hello Police. There’s this black woman walking around the neighborhood looking to buy drugs at the local drug house. Can you send the police out.”

This is so odd! Why would Michael Jordan be scared of a corrupt casino owner?

Compared to Sean Penn most people probably act like saints.  

She’s been surrounded by shitty men seemingly her entire career. Maybe we shouldn’t be looking to her compass for guidance. 

I couldn’t care less about this show, but one thing that was odd in the Variety piece was them talking about “Damon Wayans must be fed every 2.5 hours even if he is in a scene” acting like that’s proof he’s a jerk.

Shes not wrong and for anyone who’s listened to how harsh Wolf talks about things like Harvey Weinstein when doing guest appearance, it souldda been obvious she would swing for the fences

Recently read Doing Harm by Maya Dusenbery and it was infuriating to read that many doctors are taught (either overtly or through implied knowledge) that women are faking symptoms, over-reporting pain and are in general just pains in the ass that doctors have to put up with but not respect. Times are starting to…

I heard they were considering touring with Elvis Costello but had yet to decide who was going to headline and who was going to open.

‘It’s Not a Fucking Accident’

Isn’t how Kurt Cobain died still debated?

Its worth repeating: Spielberg’s movies still sucks and he’s a racist ahole.

Remove grown and man and you’re 100% correct.

This is a great piece, Charles. Thanks for sharing it.

Angela Bassett should have been Storm, all others are pretenders.
