Yeahhhh, people can say that they want others to acknowledge their privilege till they're blue in the face - the snarky responses to this just show me they're full of shit. Kim K is literally doing exactly what we say we want her to do: getting a clue, acknowledging her privilege, admitting that there are things…

Smartest comment I've read about this little essay. As a biracial woman, I can only ever be thankful when someone actually says "racism is still alive" because there are plenty of people who say it isn't while telling us about about reverse racism against the majority(as well as the many people like Kim K who live in…

Thank you. You said my first thoughts in a much less angrily ranting and well put way :) We can not both lament people's lack of knowledge and simultaneously mock or deride them for correcting it.

For sure. I'm not going to overrate it, but Kim Kardashian has now been able to reach a level of empathy that at least half of our Congresspeople haven't reached and never will. Kinda sad.

I agree. So she should have realised earlier, that goes without saying. But she acknowledges that she's been foolish to ignore the issue, or to act like it's not her problem. This article is so snarky and mean-spirited towards someone who just seems to be trying to better herself. Why do we feel the need to tear…

I totally agree - this is probably the first (and dare I say last) time I've been encouraged by something a Kardashian has said, and I, for one, will not mock it.

I agree. I have no stake in her fame or whatever, never watched her show or anything. But I find it so incredibly over the top how every single commenter feels they have to go after her for everything she does. She is saying something genuine and right, and hopefully her young fans (or whoever her fans are, not sure)…

Thanks for saying this because while I don't like this woman at all, all these responses are SNARKY AS FUCK and I think that sometimes we as people just have to be like, "thank God someone is genuinely trying, even if they know no better." There are worse people on this earth than Kim Kardashian and quite frankly, she…

This is why I'm pro interracial dating. One of my friends is the ultimate Becky (only every dated men named Colton) well now she's getting serious with gasp a black man and suddenly Florida and Nigeria's bullshit is very much on her mind. She could very well have black looking babies. When she was dating Coltons it…

I completely agree with you. She is a total fucking joke, no doubt. But until I started dating my love, who is black, racism existed in an "outside" way. And when him and I walk down the street holding hands and people give us dirty looks, it becomes much more personal. Not more or less awful, just personal. When we…

I have two White female friends (one a friend from college, another a work friend) both married to Black men. Their realization of what it means to be associated with Black men and Black people in the US of A has led them both to awakenings like KK's. Years into their relationships they are still jarred when they…

I wholeheartedly agree. People aren't born realizing these things. I grew up thinking that most racism was in the past, and the only racists left were out in east Texas wearing hoods but they weren't a real problem for most people. How wrong was I?! I am not about to mock Kim Kardashian for growing as a person and…

Sooooooooooooooo many people never recognize these things. She's wealthy, self-involved, and seemingly kinda vapid, but still managed to find some kind of awareness. I don't get how it's bad either.

Ok phew! Glad I'm not the only person who reacted this way. Normally I'm all about the snark but I don't think this deserves it. I don't follow Kimye's exploits but taken with zero context, a letter like this seems thoughtful and sincere. Regardless of how she came to the realization, it seems like a good thing! If we…

yep, she expressed what most white people I know think. Its actually a huge step to accept that there is real, institutionalized racism/sexism/other-isms in this world.

I agree. I think this is a good thing and I hope she turns a new leaf.

I think it's difficult for most people to admit their ignorance the way that Kim Kardashian has with regard to racism. I don't understand the instinct to mock someone for this. Thinking that these issues are everyone else's problem is not actually that uncommon, especially for this generation. So good for her for…

My vagina made $9500 working from home this week! My vagina's last paycheck was $9500 working 12 hours a week online. My neighbour's sister's vagina has been averaging 15k for months now and she works about 20 hours a week! I can't believe how easy it was once I tried it out.

This is what I do,,,,,,,,,,…

I don't care for politics or such. Anyone with any shred of moral decency should want to get involved. No girl (or child) should ever be terrorized for wanting to go to school. If kids stopped going to school or were too afraid to get an education, where would that leave the rest of our world?

The Nigerian government reached out to the United States for help with the search. I think we should get involved if for no other reason than the kidnappings are a terrible violation of human rights. I know many people believe the USA is incapable of acting on anything other than its own interests— I really hope…
