"Good white people" demonstrate the qualities that all good people demonstrate: kindness, empathy, compassion, thoughtfulness, unconditional love. These are the values I try to instill in my students; that parents try to instill in their children.

It's part of human history; much of our history has been and is completely lost. This is one of the very few surviving artifacts of the Nazca people. Your supreme ignorance on the importance of the Nazca lines, and archeology in general is baffling.

In response to #CrimingWhileWhite, Ebony.com editor Jamilah Lemieux started the hashtag #AliveWhileBlack for black people to share stories of their interactions with the cops—not while committing crimes, but just while living—where they were treated with violence, carelessness and general inhumanity.

I think these stories are directed at other white people, the many, many who we keep hearing from, who truly believe that race has nothing to do with these murders. They were "bad" people who happened to be black, and "good" cops who happened to be white rightfully shot them. I think the intent behind the hashtag is…

Was anyone legitimately surprised to learn that white people are able to get away with damn near anything by the police?

My impression was that the hashtag isn't for educating black people about how nice the cops are to white people, but educating fellow white people on their own hypocrisy. It's a lot harder to say that these murdered black men were thugs and criminals who "got what they deserved" when white people admit to the same…

I feel like I'm missing something here, because I usually agree with your points, and here less so (which, as an aside, I can cope with. We don't always have to agree. I will live on. I am just surprised).

I can't imagine going through life with my mom trying to steer everything I do and everyone being so far up my boo-boo that every corner of my life is shared. Only to marry and then have my husband fighting with my mom over who gets to steer my life. Oh my God, did I just feel sorry for Kim Kardashian?

I know everyone is going to be like 'fuck you. you old hag prudy trudy' but I think there is something in what she is saying that is worth thinking about. Think all of the top female pop acts in the current market, Ariana Grande, Katy Perry, Rihanna, Taylor Swift, Beyonce, Iggy whatsherface, Nicki. Except for Taylor…

Bette had a very sexy show back in her day, but she was brazen and weird and sweaty. I think her point is that the Ariana Grande sex kitten show is cliche and boring and silly and heteronormative and bland and lacking in originality, which it is. Not that sexuality doesn't have a place in performance. Or maybe that…

I'm so sorry. I don't mean to be nosy, but your post just broke my heart- are you and your husband in some kind of counseling that could help get through to him just how selfish and awful it is that he refuses to help you so you can work? Because I want to go over there and yell "DON'T BE A SELFISH DICK TO YOUR WIFE,…

Wow...If we were at a bar, I would be going on and on about my current situation; wondering how my optimistic high-achiever feminist 21 year-old self turned into a bitter, sad 40-something housewife. Right now I am trying to draft an email turning down an very interesting position that is, alas, full-time. It has…

This is why Oprah didn't want a family. She says she's too ambitious to put career aside for family, and she didn't want to have a bunch of emotionally neglected kids just to fullfill her ambitions.

How many people were actually criticizing her as compared to just being sort of surprised at how dramatic the changes were, in neither a good or bad way?

jon > ben come @ me tho

Who are these people buying porn? Don't they know they can get it for free?

Gandalf?

These young ladies are not obviously talented.

I'd have a hard time keeping that situation civil.
