“Okay so for a country as progressive and advanced as Wakanda was, it’s dumb as shit to decide who’s going to lead it by having a bunch of dudes play Wakandan Ninja Warrior on a slippery mountaintop.”

The general phenomenon, of which this is a specific illustration, is probably that anyone who has received prestige as an Ethics professor knows a million fancy ways to rationalize to themselves whatever they want to do anyway, under this or that alternative argument (and also a million fancy ways to condemn the…

From what I’ve heard, “facilitated communication” is bullshit anyway.

What really confuses me is that the bus was going to drop her HOME. At first I thought it was a field trip to Horny Teenager City or something, but no... it was the bus take kids HOME. That is, AWAY from the environment where this idiot AP has jurisdiction.

Yep! That was me for ages. I’ve never driven so I’ve always carried a day bag big enough for all my stuff and like an empty tote or two for when I had to get something on the way home. As for cloth diapers, my seriously yuppies SIL is considering them now. See also “tiny houses” - poor folks have been living in…

Um yeah, I’ve been poor longer than I haven’t been poor and I’ve always carried extra totes, a backpack or something to carry purchases in. That is well before specifically reusable shopping bags came on the market. The urban poor often do not drive or have cars and have always needed a way to carry multiple…

She actually can go faster than the speed of light. She was originally a cop in her civilian guise (2X a hero top that) & s she was handpicked by Captain America to stand in as the leader of the Avengers while he took downtown. The coup de gras of all of this is that she’s one of the few people to go toe-to-toe with…

I—and I’d say most people of color—tend to view these items as something that, well, the white elite use.

The idea of calling reusable bags “bougie” shows just how out of touch the US is. Most immigrants I know, POC or not, are used to shopping with their own shopping bags. My own Nana didn’t drive and shopped w/ thin woven bags we got at the swapmeet decades ago. Every poor person I know has totes they could use for…

This came up at the END of the day? If the AP had such a problem with it, why wouldn’t he speak up earlier? Like, she was already leaving the school, bruh! Her shoulders were about to be out of the building! Just let her go home!

Monica was Captain Marvel when I started reading comics so she’ll always be Captain Marvel to me!

You leave the sword out of it.

Nah, it’ll be “Black folks are fat and unhealthy” without examining any of the exterior factors that got people there like;

This is undoubtedly a good thing. Reaching out to social networks to combat disease in an at-risk population. Kind of genius, actually.

Probably percs or xanax, much more popular with the kids these days

Although not discussed as much, this is yet another reason why representation matters.

I think the JLaw example serves as a good one. Really Haddish’s behavior is not different than JLaws in terms of what’s considered “good taste”. JL does do the whole sloppy, drunk single friend routine and it’s treated like an endearing trait. Meanwhile Haddish does the same thing and she’s “too ghetto”?

C’mon. TH is a…

Conversely, this also reminds me of those BW who were talking trash about Gabby Douglass’ hair on their Twitter timeline, and the only way the whole world found out about it was that Jason Whitlock decided it’d be a great idea to do a Fox Sports special on it. *smh* Meanwhile, girlfriend is busy…

The irony of someone named “Jakoury” talking about embarrassing the race has not been lost upon me...
