'whatever happened to Geena Davis?' has been a question that has long kept me pondering. Now I know! Thanks.

Ok. Never punch someone. Especially in front of your child. Shit.

hey it's cool. Sorry if I was over defensive. I don't even know whyI'm defending the UK. There are so many assholes here.

I was so pissed off about this story. This Tshirt was everywhere and it was cool and made the papers and men were wearing it and it even made me like Ed Milliband a little bit. And then this shit storm hits and it's like, why the FUCK couldn't you people do your due diligence and make sure no women were exploited…

Hackney?

Firstly, thanks for your considered response. After I sent that last message, I was conscious of having whitesplained you. I'm really sorry if it came across like that. I got a little defensive after reading a whole bunch of posts that were like 'those Brits, not understanding the offensive nature of blackface' and I…

I definitely know that London isn't the rest of the UK, I grew up in Devon and absolutely studied slavery in primary school in the 80's. I'm not trying to present the UK as some kind of post racial shangri la, believe me. I am addressing the notion that we don't get taught about it and that because of this ignorance,…

Blackface is totally unacceptable in the UK and slavery and our country's role in it is taught in all schools. My kid is doing it now, in year 1, as part of Black History month. Londoners in particular are very aware of culture and diversity, as this city is so multicultural. There are many museums in London dedicated…

Thank you. Yes blackface is offensive here. Yes, we learn about our history as a slaving nation. This guy is a dick. They exist everywhere.

Blackface is absolutely offensive in the UK and we definitely learn about out country's history with slavery. This guy is an asshole and the fact that this happened in Brixton, basically the Harlem of London, is really bizarre.

We do know it. Blackface is absolutely offensive here.

Wait, what? This happened in Brixton? For all you yanks, that is the most traditionally black neighbourhood in London, made famous by race riots in the 80's. Think Harlem. That's....really weird.

It is really problematic. My friend is Iranian British, born in Iran, and married to a British man. She recently went to Iran so her extended family could meet her children. Before she went she had to have a second (Islamic) wedding ceremony as her first one had been in the UK and secular. The Iranian authorities…

I've been wondering if Jezebel was going to report on this, I sent a tip a while ago. I'm glad Ghoncheh's case is getting some international recognition. I want to know what my government is going to get this young woman home to her family. She is a British citizen and the powers that be are merely 'concerned'? I am…

Ok. Fuck. We have just bought a 200 year old ex naval property in London, a big rambling shack of a place for way under the market price. We move in next month and these stories have been giving me the jitters, but your comment has legitimately terrified me!

I know what you're saying. It bugs me when people who generally are not socially aware or active, or contribute or care about any causes, only click into life as soon as an internet trend tells them to. The ice bucket challenge was a good example of that. I think you can be both happy that a cause is raising money,…

It doesn't matter if a comment is intended to be polite. *

I just started AHS Asylum and NOW I KNOW WHO THE KILLER IS!!! Sad face

I loved Whip My Hair too #sorrynotsorry

I'm watching that right now, tardy to the party. Me and my friends all agree that, the freakiest thing about the series is that if you disregard the supernatural conspiracy stuff, it is probably a fairly accurate portrayal.
