So, right, exactly. Who gets to set the standard of when the tone has crossed the line to disrespectful? The whole thing gets pretty self-serving, pretty fast.

No one has said that the “only reply” should be an insult. I’m saying that insults are often part of the game when you’re discussing emotional things, and insisting that conversations always be devoid of that is manipulative. I’ve been in many, many conversations that involved insults, but eventually ended in…

Grownups don’t get caught up crying about the tone of a conversation when what’s being worked through in the conversation is shit that’s actually important. It’s a suspiciously easy way of derailing the conversation, as we’ve seen here.

“A respectful tone in communication is more effective than an insulting one.” More effective at what? And what’s the evidence for that assertion?

Tone-policing is a waste of time, and manipulative: “you’re allowed to have those feelings, but you have to express them in a way that I deem reasonable, or I’m going decide that ignoring you is justified.” Please. If there’s evidence that insisting that people make nice-nice correlates with finding solutions, provide…

Don’t worry about it. I really don’t think this is as complicated as some are trying to make it. Most black women don’t care if black men are in relationships with women of other races. What’s annoying is when the cited reason veers away from, “eh, just a coincidence/circumstance” and towards “I’m just not attracted…

Taylor Swift trolls us again.

LOL that website is hilarious, thanks!

Not again, is this the new thing, black men blaming their moms as the reason they like white women? First it was Beyonce’s dad a few weeks ago, and now this. Why is it always a black woman’s fault? Leave your moms out of it, because honest to god, no one cares. Don’t do your Mom like that.

The WP article being referred to was written in 2014. The wording in this post is somewhat confusing, because it seems to suggest that the WP article was written in response to Sessions’s comment, which it was not.

Died at “u look like Caillou”

He’s just a troll now. Well, he was before his entire existence was exterminated by the dragging he has just sustained.  RIP, “Michael Rappart” (LOL). Hopefully when he gets reincarnated, it’s as someone who’ll pick better targets. He should never in his pale life again consider coming for Sister Janet.

“PT cruiser” I’m dead

The ‘Only God can judge me’ defense. The last refuge of a scoundrel. If only God can judge you, then why is He allowing me to eyeroll so hard right now?

This. I’m not saying that only white people do nonsensical, nondirectional, non goal-oriented violence, but...I really think of non-goal oriented violence as a white thing. It is 100% true that a black woman would’ve said “I am about to spray you with acid if you don’t give me what I want” and then would’ve proceeded…

I’m not for this “Scandinavia is a racial Shangri-La” stuff. That is a sentiment that is readily debunked. Nowhere in the world is free of anti-blackness, if the population is pressed hard enough (i.e. the minority population rises from being “interesting and insignificant” to “wait, y’all are here for real?”). See:…

The point of the comment is that this is essentially a non-story because no one is losing sleep over the passing of this person. Clear now?

This is all hilarious, but that Nazi punch gif...every time I see it, I’m mesmerized. Soooo good

Eh. The rough equivalent of “basic” for males is “bro” or “bro-y.” They’re both pretty good descriptors, in my opinion :-) Also, to me, “basic” doesn’t imply that you only like popular things; it implies that you like an excessive number of popular things, and you like them *because* they’re popular, which makes you…

Great list, I absolutely love at least 7-8 of these.
