That's oddly specific lol

Don’t distract from current issues concerning black and Latino people by starting a new topic dedicated to which e-reader you should invest in.

Your one black male friend and your one black female friend are not “perfect for each other”.

If you see a black woman with a fair skinned-blue eyed child, do not ask her if she wants to pick up some “extra” nanny work.

101.) just because a police officer gave you a stern talking-to for speeding in your dads Beemer without his knowledge doesn’t mean you know what it’s like to fear the police.

Do not touch a black woman’s hair. It is not a compliment when you say “oh, it is softer than it looks...” or “Girlfriend! I had my hair cornrowed when I was I vacationing in Jamaica, we could have been twins, with my tan and all....

No, not really.

Well Justin, that's certainly a nice way of saying you left your wife, meet another woman than stole the van your wife worked so hard on and planned to move into. You know she even helped you build the PeanutButterCoast.com. Oh and you stayed on the road because you didn't have another option.

Oh man, he was lucky! White people with tans are always looked at with suspicion, especially when they are homeless.

Dealership couldn't fix it so Nissan flee in a special tech who figured it out in minutes. Needless to say the desler got a little heat from Nissan. Anyway, my Wife…

I totally see your point, and I think having a non-confrontational attitude when discussing issues like this does help, but I don’t really think “not meaning it that way” should be an acceptable excuse. It’s the prejudices we don’t realize we have which are the most dangerous, and as such, I think it’s the nature of…

Just because you won it doesn't mean you have to keep it.

My 15-year-old niece got a talking-to from her high school guidance counselor for the exact same thing. She’s “too confident in her answers,” and it upsets her male teachers. Because…they’re overly emotional, insecure crybabies, I guess?

All the times I’ve said something to a man, was kind of ignored, then what I said was repeated by another man and that turned out to be a great idea/funny/helpful/worthy of attention.

Yeah, this isn't exactly a huge light bulb. The idea that classism is at work in Harry Potter is hardly new. As for why Muggles are kept ignorant...Hagrid offers a perfect handwave for that in Philosopher's/Sorcerer's Stone:
