I feel like this going to turn out to be some insane viral marketing scheme in about another week or two.

I prefer “female” to modify a noun — it just sounds more grammatically correct to me — but my editors disagree and changed it.

The thing that jumped out at me, with little or no mention, is that while the hospitalization, addiction, and all-around erratic behavior was taking place:

Deleting all of this because I can’t afford to have it traced to me. That’s how bad it is professionally to struggle with mental illness.

It’s just you. The reason so many Black people prefer the term “Black”, is because “African American” isn’t necessarily an accurate description for some of us. Yes, we are of African descent, but many of us have never been to an African country and have no known family or cultural connection there, and there are many…

I say negro because I speak Spanish.

Basing one’s thoughts on racial appropriateness on the behaviors of a group of people who were alive back when lynchings were a fun family event isn’t a particularly good idea. But somehow I think you know this already, you disingenuous little scamp.

The mason jar one is a legit good hack.

For shame. This is the most victim blamey piece of nonsense I’ve seen.

Seriously?! Not just all of this ridiculousness, but you DIDN’T GO WITH YOUR WIFE WHEN SHE WAS COMPETING IN THE OLYMPICS?!?! How many Superbowls did you make her sit through? She literally competes one week every four years. WTF?

I literally just witnessed an altercation in my complex for this EXACT THING. Black teen was wandering around the parking lot at night, swiping at his phone. There’s no pokestops here, so he’s just aimlessly wandering around catching mons, when an older white man starts yelling at him to get lost. The kid tells him to…

Pokemon Go deliberately asks to be in places many of us would not normally be seen. By the simple virtue of white people seeing the unexpected, fearing the unknown, and assuming the worst, a black man playing ANY enhanced reality game where, according to racists and cops, ‘he doesn’t belong’, endangers him.

Thanks for the support!

I don’t think the point is “this is a Pokemon Go specific thing” but rather “oh, look, yet another thing for POC to worry about doing in public”.

If only he weren’t acting so free....

This is gonna be one of those comment sections, so I just want to say I appreciate you sharing with your experience and hope things get better.

Agreed, but there’s a difference between a one star review for “My drink took 10 minutes” and one star review for “I’m out $1000 and this contractor did a shit job I have to pay even more money to fix.” One is overkill, the other is probably not.

Minus a dui most driving mistakes fall off after 3 years. I don't see why we treat credit any differently. Keep huge mistakes like bankruptcies on for longer but let the smaller stuff slide off after 3 or 4 years. Seems consistent with other industries abilities to see how trust worthy and responsible you are. And I…

Agreed. Imagine living within your limits and then something like the housing market goes to shit or maybe your kid becomes ill. Now you are paying a the minimum on your card. And suddenly the economy goes to crap and you get laid off. You know Unemployment isn’t gonna give you enough. You look for work and the little…

Spoken like someone who has never had to deal with the byzantine process of getting the bureaus to fix their own errors on your report.
