Yep, people don't realize that some of us speaking up have had family members buried in a similar (if not as star-studded) fashion. It's even stranger as a biracial atheist. I don't believe in what these people are singing and clapping about, but as a half Black person that very specific church culture is part of my…

...It's a heightened version of a Black funeral, but not outside of "normal". Clapping out of enthusiasm or shouting isn't uncommon. Or after a choir performs. Plus, remember, there's a ton of people there.

This is what happens when you have a badly designed UI, and someone that fancies themselves as a "designer" making really bad inforgraphics not specified to the default picture size for articles.

I'm so glad I ate a couple of hours ago. NICE TRY.

Thanks for the response. I would say, though, that your statement about middle class AA's being against Black nationalism and all isn't quite what you think it is. That community, that lived in worked in a largely White work structure (and might be new to it), had much more to lose for looking like they were "down…

There are so many problems in this article, and most of them seem unintentional. This doesn't mean they are no problematic.

This! This was posted on Reddit, to much fanfare. There were comments on "Well, guys say these things too" or "these are all pretty common", but none touching upon how passive we're taught to be. "I'm sorry, but..."'s, "Could you just..."'s and other qualifiers exist so prevalently in women because of the reason you…

The replies by grace and Jenna are -sort of- on point. I work with pantone swatches daily. It's more of a system of color matching than actually selling inks, dyes, etc. Each swatch has a formula beneath it for the printer to match.

Hey look guys, I found an extended cut of Florence + the Machine's new video!

I have this haircut and I'm a lady. It's called the "I'm too lazy for a fauxhawk" hair.... Or something. Anyway, I think us Black ladies have been wearing this for a while. It's easier to straighten just the top of your head instead of all the sides and back. Though, be warned, you will be called T-boz and Rihanna…

Though my goodness, some of those lyrics are dark to be sounding so cutesy and young.

Hero by Regina Spektor, definitely.

I'm not a hip hop person, but I'm loving this triumphant, major trumpet/french horn thing that has been going on lately. I'm looking at /you/ Kanye.

My goodness, you're right! I was reminded of both, but this is totally the porno of an AA ad and a Gap ad going at each other.

It's not. It's a bad ad campaign using the "haha, mixed features are funny" to communicate their message. There were various race "mash-ups". If I remember correctly it was German, but I can't seem to find it. I think Racialicious/others did commentary on it. Anyway... yeah, not a fan.

Well, I'm just glad Chevron isn't a pattern that's taken after this thread.

Haha, that is fantastic. See, when you say braces, I would have pictured him with dental work or a broken limb.

Haha, I'm surprised you were able to find a picture of Michael Ian Black in that movie that isn't from a particular, very particular scene.... Oh man.

That surprise Ami James in the last video was very welcomed. Oh man, I forgot about him.

I believe this is the complete documentary (this is one of those things you can only watch MAYBE once), but it was aired in 2007 on the BBC. From what I can discern, there was public outcry and some changes afterwards. From first glance, all the children have lowered mental capacity... but you learn that some only had…
