At the end of the day, I think the outrage over this goes beyond race.

We have seen one justice system employed to keep all of us down, and another justice system that excuses it's torturers and enforcers. That considers banks "too big to fail" and the rest of us "too small to care". Officers that have been trained to…

If you think kindness is the limit of what is needed to stop mass death of Black teenagers, you have some work to do.

Would you have said the same thing to the white Mississippi freedom riders? They were good white people, too, and they paid the ultimate price for their decision to stand up for justice. Or the straight folk who mourned the death of Matthew Shepard? Or the men who fight for equal pay for women? Or the able-bodied…

Right. I don't want a prize, but also, don't basically tell me to shut up. That doesn't do anyone any good.

I thought it was a wonderful piece, but I sincerely doubt that most good white people—or at least the good white people who run in my circles—believe that they "deserve a fucking prize." I think they're expressing empathy.

Is a member of another oppressed minority (First Nations), I disagree quite strongly with this.

I guess the question is "How can white people be supportive of the issue without seeming to demean or take over the issue? " If white people don't talk talk about what they do in the situation, then the narrative is that white people are ignoring the issue (which so many do). If white people talk about the issue,…

"I've told this story before, but when I was a freshman in college, they had a luge party, and when it was my turn to do a shot, I started going down on the luge like it was a vagina."

"Women are always scolded for putting ourselves in dangerous situations, i.e. simply being alone."

This is great. Years ago I traveled around Zimbabwe and South Africa alone for 11 months - but I made friends, was adopted into families, and earned many wonderful connections that I would have missed had I been male or with a male companion. The flip side, of course, was that being alone and female may have put me in…

Boston Wife: Honey, they said no Pats jerseys in the courthouse.

He plays DE? The Bears should sign him immediately. He could only be an improvement.

Just coming down here to say this. We seem to crucify beautiful people because they are not allowed to have insecurities, yet if she was up there being like, "I'm not perfect but I am FABULOUSSSSSS" we'd be like, "what an ego-maniac, of course she feels fabulous, look at her, does she have to rub it in?"

It's the most perfect reaction because by bouncing it back to him, the interview makes himself look even more like the massive fistula he so clearly is.

But how was she supposed to respond? "Fuck ya I have a rockin' bod." There's no way she comes out of that not looking like an asshole.

Oh no! What a travesty! What censorship! What's next, Valve choosing not to carry Rapeplay? Them taking "Ethnic Cleansing" down from Greenlight? Putting the kibosh on "Custer's Revenge Remastered"?

Seriously, good for Valve. They have every right, as a retailer, to decide what they want to sell and be associated with.…

See this is where, I believe, we make a critical mistake. Because it is distasteful to us (rightfully so) we decide that it should be brushed under the rug. In my opinion, we SHOULD be making a huge deal of the 75th anniversary. We should be releasing DVDs of this movie with commentary by professors of history and by…

Not gonna lie - I fucking love this movie. I'm black, and come from a long line of black women who love it despite the blatant racism. I think it must be the dresses.

I'm gay, and if I want to hold movies to a similar standard I've got two problems: Movies made before say 1970 elide the very idea that I exist, which is problematic, and movies made from 1970 to 2005 cast me mainly as murderers and/or gross and/or a laughingstock. Even now things aren't great, but that's another…

I don't think anything is cheating until you've both said "we're in a relationship". Once you cross that line, it's tacky to leave up profiles IMO. I wouldn't confront the guy in dramatic fashion yelling "HOW COULD YOU DO THIS TO ME?", but I think that is a sign they are keeping their options open.
