There have been rumors swirling about him for years.

Yet her mother is a dark skin Black woman. Her mother raised her. That alone makes me suspicious of her ignorance based on her own appearance 

I gasped out loud when I read that. Utterly lacking in self awareness and humility. If that event transpired the way she claims, her best move would have been to be gracious to the fan, while internally checking yourself that you’re not as relevant and important, and moving on.

She still doesn’t know.

For a while now my wife has been trying to explain to me the concept of “colorism” in the Black community. [Disclosure - my mother refers to my skin tone as “Lily White” since my ancestors came from Ireland, Sweden, Germany.] It’s a weird situation when I never really thought about it and could see that her being of a…

Of course she didn’t know what being treated like a black woman was like, she married into the royal family. There’s no amount of love in the world that would lead me to overlook that your family has caused so much genocide and destruction of my people and others. There’s no amount of love that would allow me to…

I’m trying to imagine why she felt it necessary to share it. Imagine comparing the semi end of a brutal regime and his release from prison after decades, to her marrying into a white family that historically colonised and enslaved black and brown people. This was not a good boast.

Meghan Markle has very specifically identified as “mixed” and never as black. There is privilege in this. Plenty of biracials identify as both. A whole fuck ton of us knew her entrance into the royal family would be her ultimate wake-up call to blackness. Yet it never entered her head. THAT’S privilege. A lot of…

LMFAO FACTS!!!

This has all kinds of self value or devalue issues written all over it. An btw. If a black male who’s mixed had of made the same comments yall would be dragging him. The reason she didn’t know what it was like to be a black person (or black women) was because SHE DIDN’T SEE HERSELF AS ONE! Let’s be real here. Most of…

I’d honestly argue that as more -11 points for Mike and making the total 0-0..........................

Call me a Leo apologist I guess, but I can’t summon outrage for this. Is it gross in a stereotypical entitled man sense? Sure. But everything seems consensual, there haven’t been any allegations of abuse or mistreatment to my knowledge, and while I realize this is a pretty low bar to clear, there’s worse shit in the…

>LaBeouf admitted the plot of Honey Boy, which he claimed at the time was semi-autobiographical about his father’s abuse is “fucking nonsense.”

Educate the most at-risk people, since it’s apparently very easy to avoid contracting.  Once those people know how they are at risk, the problem should pretty much vanish in a month.

OK, this is probably just a problem with Vox not bothering to translate the PDF (it is in German...), but a 3% decrease in car trips is much different from a 3% decrease in congestion.

As someone clubbing in the UK during this period, Biggie has the club bangers period.

It is weird to me how the “Silent Majority” never shuts up and is always in the minority on just about every issue. 

It’s a short stroll from the right-wing American mantra of “Fuck You, I got mine” to get to the place that says forgiving anyone’s debt (unless it’s mine) is a bad thing.

“I struggled to pay off my student loans and now people are getting their debt forgiven. How is that fair?”

One of the worst ways the right weaponizes ignorance is using the average person lack of understanding and taxes. Mailman isn’t paying for shit. The interest on student loans in the US is so ridiculous the program could be restructured so it just pays for itself and wipe out a huge chunk of existing debt at the same…
