My advice is to get your Hotep phase over and done with ASAP. Go to a Kwanzaa party or just a Lauren Hill concert (bonus points if Dead Prez opens). Hotepry is like chicken pox. The later in life you get it the more aggressive and persistent it is.

I like how you are commenting on a video of a racist and start talking about your own hatred of others. You realize your thinking is very comparable to what white people thought when they started integrating people of color into public bathrooms. But it’s ok your point of view is ok to blurt out...

Right?! Do people just not remember how Jessica Simpson was marketed back then? Before the reality show?

But where or how was Portman living that she was confused because someone who wore a bikini wasn’t having sex ?

I agree with Natalie’s original statement. I think what rubs me the wrong way about Jessica touting her virginity while wearing a bikini is the implication that a woman’s sexuality exists to be enjoyed by everyone but her.

This really is some ‘heroic’ tale you’ve told.

A minority, twice over, decided to tell you that you were saying potentially harmful/bigoted things in a neutral space. Referring to them as “it” indicates to me that your words were likely less than kind in doing so. While you can’t be racist against white people, you can definitely be transphobic or homophobic, and…

Why on earth would you give a 20-year-old home for a short period of time from college a curfew?!? Maybe I’m an outlier, but when my kids are 20, they determine how to live their lives.

Re-posting from up-thread because relevance:

I hear what you are saying and there is a recent article making the rounds that evaluates the wage gap as a ‘motherhood penalty’. Two comments on that assessment: 1). Do women choose to leave their careers to focus on their families or are women expected to choose between their careers and their families when men are…

I’m not so sure women are less likely to go into certain high-paying industries. I selected my undergraduate major - economics - based on data showing the qualification yielded one of the highest entry-level salaries. I applied for over 300 jobs with custom cover letters and resumes, attended networking events like…

Also just very strange to be so offended to hear the word “sex” and then proceed to scream it?

I had a boss who was amazing at doing that in a nice, polite way. Yes, she was the boss, so she had the authority, but she never had to actually use it to divert the conversation and give space to other people. She would use a quick break to say, firmly but not aggressively, something like “interesting take, Jake, I'm…

7. How convinced were you that Magic Johnson bought the cure for AIDS from the federal government?

YES!

Part of the problem is that you’re treating her affection like it’s a measure of your value as a person. But women ain’t Mjölnir, my dude. They don’t have “whomsoever should part these legs, if they be worthy, shall have the power of Score” embroidered on their underwear. Whether they fall for someone or not…

It’s BOTH a part of india and soveriegn land. Technically, the same is held for ‘reservations’ in the United States, except, of course, the US gov’t feels free to invade the lands when it suits their purpose (such as laying down a pipeline).

This was also his 3rd or 4th attempt on that island. They had previously shot at him.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to both John’s family and friends

She’s also very right that it just makes you poop. All crash diet nonsense is ultimately about pooping. Cleanses, super foods, crash diets. They all just make you shit non-stop.
