she is better at playing Samantha than Kim Catrall.

Thank you for your thoughtful reply and the great article! I think this is one of the consequences of trying to celebrate a culture and history through events and so on. People repackage the culture in ways that are distasteful and can be seen as insensitive and it just commodifies the whole culture/history to such…

Because everyone is attacking me. So obviously there is something I don't know. All I know is that this is basically the same menu that was served at events at my college that the Black Students Association would organize to raise awareness about African American culture, and what was served in Harlem at soul food…

Stupidly authentic.

Why not?

Can you actually explain what the problem is?

PS. I don't know if that is actually what Monique did, but that explains the campaigning part.

"Abused people often go for years trying to be the bigger person so others don't accuse them of contributing to their own abuse." I never heard it articulated that way before. This describes my relationship with my mother. This whole comment section has proved way therapeutic.

I hope so much that Carly is the next Bachelorette. She would be way more fun to watch, and it would be great to see her get wined and dined and discover herself as a hot girl. She is so pretty. She just needs to let those eyebrows grow out!

This! The way he is like, "The Bachelor is pointless drivel and all of you are stupid even though somehow I have dedicated my entire life and my entire job to talking about it to you." wtf

Oh this is an females in emotional distress fetish show, but I love watching it!!!!!!
