First, some of these dark-skinned Dominicans have died (see the part about lynchings). Second, when the term “ethnic cleansing” was invented, it referred to Serbs expelling Croats and Bosnians from from the part of Yugoslavia which became Serbia. And while quite a few Croats and Bosnians were killed, most of them were…

Precisely. These people aren’t “migrants” any more than people of Italian or Greek or Polish descent in the US are “migrants.” They are legal Dominican citizens whose ancestors came from Haiti, and their citizenship is being revoked. They weren’t “illegal” before this law was passed. The DR has MADE them illegal in…

your cat sounds fucking incredible tbh

This comment is everything wrong with America.

It was such a great read! I just hope the gross Pooh Bear of caramel got hers in the end.

i think the “do literally anything else” was actually a helpful comment. Its unfortunate that you had to go through those things but the interest you could potentially need to pay from a payday load effectively keeps you in debt. I’m not saying you had other choices. But i have met people that had other choices and…

I think, by that, he meant, “Don’t get involved with these people because they WILL exploit you,” not, “Don’t get involved with these people because you’re pathetic.”

Anyone who has a platform and uses it to shine a light on a pervasive societal evil is appreciated by me.

He shamed them? I thought he was shaming the people preying on th people who needed to use that type of loan arrangement?

I don't think the point of the payday loans segment was to shame the people who needed them but rather the predatory loaners who through exuberant interest percentages were taking advantage of people who were desperate.

I think you missed the point of that rant.

The Armani thing, I feel like there’s a backstory there that we are missing. The Kardashians were some of the first folks to talk about how they got paid like $10k per tweet for brands, so you KNOW she wasn’t doing that for free. That means she must have been putting out one of her ~*~ToTeS aUtHeNtIc~*~ tweets and…

Wow. White, conservative, Christian Republicans sure as hell are desperate to get labeled as persecuted minorities aren’t they? These are of course the same people who think that actual persecuted minorities should shut the fuck up, because it really isn’t as bad as they say it is. Yet they jump at every chance they…

Interesting that this logic didn’t extend to when George Tiller was killed at church.

Yes, I’m sure that when he said, “You’re raping our women and taking over our country,” he was mad about Christians. That’s definitely it.

1. Not everyone who flies the Confederate Flag does it out of racism or hatred. A lot of people do it because of heritage and pride without intending negativity.

IT’S NOT ABOUT RACISM IT’S JUST ABOUT SUPPORTING HOW THE SOUTH FOUGHT A WAR TO CONTINUE BLACK ENSLAVEMENT AND GENOCIDE GOD

It was an ATTACK ON FAITH though, catch up.

Yes, I’m not saying she shouldn’t have been outed! I’m saying from the brief quotes I’ve heard her parents seem like very effed up people! You have to wonder if her behaviours stems from things that went in the past on and family relationships that weren’t helpful to a developing child....

Ugh. I’m doing this. I’m going to say it and then accept that I will no longer be allowed to sit at the jezebel lunch table. I think this woman is telling the truth about her abusive upbringing and I feel sorry for her. Some new details have emerged that her parents (fundie christians) used that horrible child-rearing…
