I was wondering if someone was going to bring this up. I brought it up in another post, but there was silence.

I thought everybody looked pretty good. I’ll never be a fan of feathers on anything though. It always looks silly to me.

The thing that gets me about things like this is that there is no warning or time to say goodbye for the family. Their loved ones are just gone, in an instant, and in such a cruel way. When people die in old age or even younger of illness, there is time. There is no time and they just have to deal with it. That’s…

This shows you how much the media is controlled by the “white gaze”. If the media were controlled by the “black gaze”, his use of the word would have not been worthy of headline. And, frankly, I’m losing my patience for white dominated media because it’s time for the “black gaze”, the “Asian gaze”, the “Hispanic…

Is she competing for a Most Insufferable 2015 contest?

Presidents can appoint Department of Education heads that will create mandatory classes and/or programs that help students recognize and eliminate racial bias within themselves. They can appoint an Attorney General who will investigate and actually handle racism in powerful institutions. They can appoint Supreme Court…

Meh. I don’t trust her. She talks a good game, but I doubt she’s actually going to do anything revolutionary to reduce racism. Gun control alone isn’t enough, particularly since zero tolerance gun control often hurts black and Hispanic people who get caught up in gangs (e.g. young kids who are forced to carry guns out…

The woman’s laugh is everything.

Corporations, donors, special interest groups, etc. probably.

My favorite part is when the white guy looks at her with a “let’s not” look as if she gives a fuck about what he thinks. Then, he turns back to Don when he realizes she doesn’t and that all the moral authority he thought he had is useless.

People who are outraged by the Kardashians are astoundingly pretentious and much more insufferable to me than the Kardashians are. They’re probably the same sort of people who hate Harry Potter because it isn’t Dostoyevksy enough and who refuse to listen to rap music because it isn’t Beethoven enough.

I don’t think she’s a sociopath because sociopaths lie without pause when questioned. When she was questioned about her race the first time, she said she “didn’t understand the question” and ran away. In the Matt Lauer interview, she was very careful with her words to prevent herself from outright lying about her…

Or imagine a family where the pathological liar only seems like the best choice because she manipulated you by pathologically lying.

I felt sympathy for her until this interview. She’s a lot more devious than I initially thought. She may still have some sort of mental illness, but it’s not clouding her judgment as much as I originally assumed. I also came out of this interview worrying for son and the brother she has in custody. There’s no way…

“Common sense” is learned. It isn’t innate. Therefore, the same logical would apply: He would have to learned “common sense” from someone and perhaps such people were not in his life at the time. I’m glad that you grew up in an environment where you learned that rape is absolutely wrong, but I think you’re too…

You pretty much just made the same argument as him. You gave your parents credit for teaching you that “some things are just not okay” and he said that he didn’t know his lyrics were wrong because “I had no guidance in my life.” You’re both making the argument that your understanding of morality was rooted in outside…

If you grow up in an environment that teaches you that you are entitled to a woman’s body, then yes, it’s possible for a 23-year-old to not know that rape is wrong - because he’s been told his entire life that it is right.

1. I am still enthralled and extremely entertained by this whole thing. Even so, I hope that all the pressure doesn’t cause to her to harm herself (e.g. attempt suicide), but this letter makes me think that she’s too delusional to actually feel anything negative as a result of the firestorm.

“So the self-hating people should be given the same recognition as those who don’t hate themselves?” I don’t know enough about Keri to know if she is self-hating, but this point is on point. A lot of white people will both consciously and unconsciously gravitate towards self-hating black people in order to validate…

I knew when I heard the story, people would going to link this to transgender people. People are always ready to look dumb.
