She had insurance. I believe healthcare is a right and everyone should have access to healthcare, but that would not have made a difference in this situation. Racism still impacts black people’s treatment in the healthcare system in Canada and the UK, two places with universal healthcare.

Jobs, maybe?

Everything about this story makes me ashamed to be a UMD graduate and Maryland resident. I know all things Bmore are generally considered the Wild West of Maryland, but this is ridiculous. I expect so much better from the UMD hospital and they have completely failed.

But, as a 49-year-old, you know NEVER to put anything in writing that could come back to bite you - especially with the Internet. She should have telephoned and made her pitch, whereupon White Moose management would have laughed in her face and hung up on her, leaving her with private hurt feelings instead of public…

Well, I for one am just shocked that a fundamentalist evangelical homophobe who abolished term limits and engages in voter suppression and intimidation that would get an Alabama Republican to call the ACLU likes Donald Trump.

Lots of folks have (couple generations at least) had a ring upgrade (new, fancier ring), or the engagement ring itself years into a marriage.

The truth is, no matter how much you spend on a ring, it doesn’t say anything about the value of your relationship or your self-worth. But if you’re buying a ring to wear for the rest of your life, get something that will withstand the test of time! Silver tarnishes and scratches easier than other metals, and cheap…

Everyone should do what works for them, but each story has context.

Anyone who fixes their mouth to tell another person how to live their life is projecting their insecurity on others, period.

Translation: “I’m jealous of all these successful Black women and am trying to get 15 seconds of Black Twitter fame.”

Additional list of dudes who would never have made this asinine statement considering their art was good for after the cookout with some brown liquor and the right lady (or dude - no judgement) on a warm sultry summer night:

Clearly he’s one of those dudes who thinks WOC shouldn’t have careers. Plus he MAD that Bey and Cardi have more than one pair of red bottoms in their closets, and he can’t get his girl a single shoe

CapitalOne has free online banking as well, and you can still deposit cash and stuff at their branches.

Wait a tick...

Who exactly are you talking to? Most pro-choicers already advocate for all those things.

80s and 90s R&B is alive and well in South Korea. I wouldn’t be surprised if Donnie Simpson moved there to host Video Seoul.

Yeah. It’s not “I don’t understand,” it’s “I don’t want to understand, and here are half-a-dozen straw men who don’t understand either.”

I maintain that we still need this kind of grassroots network to help women in states that are closing abortion clinics. Conservatives think it’ll stop abortion or sex; we know it’ll just result in coat hanger back alley jobs.

Any fight like this is pretty much just a tantrum with more violence. Same impulses, same behavior, different result.

Let me preach about SteakUmms! You get yourself a box of steakumms, you chop them up nice and thin. You take a big green pepper and onion, some garlic salt, cayenne pepper, paprika, black pepper and a pinch of chili powder and you put it in a skillet with some butter. You turn that on, fry it up, now you take a kaiser…
