I hope Michelle talks about how amazing I am when it's my birthday!

I KNOW RIGHT! The argument is so dumb. I often feel that the dumbest arguments are the ones I really struggle to disprove because to me, it's enough to say THAT IS DUMB. HA I love the human argument. I also just feel like, since when is the media supposed to be a factual, realistic representation of the world? Even…

Thanks, Internet. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Godwin's_…

My dad is like that too. He has a FEAR of being fat (I think in his experience, he associates it with age and dying) so it's his number one insult. Are you a lawyer that annoys him at work? THAT GUY IS FAT. Are you bad a driver? YOU'RE STUFFING YOUR FAT FACE. I'm a thicker gal but super healthy. I don't think he sees…

Ignore the fat vs. skinny. This woman was emotionally abused by her POS father.

LaComtesse please help me out. My mother (whom I love DEARLY) uses this argument constantly: "Gay people are only 10% of the population so why are they on the news all the time?" "Black people are only 10% of the population, so it makes perfect sense they're not very much of the actors."

What exactly do you find complicated? Rape is not the same as sex. You can choose to not have sex and still be raped.

Oh how I cried when I heard this news. I thought his health was improving.

If such a crime happened on the property (of a McDonald's or an apartment complex), then there must be a procedure in place to avoid lawsuit. Management is required to have some policy in place to keep employees/residents/whatever safe. Particularly is there is a decision in place that might facilitate the crime…

I promise you that McDonald's has to do just that (or hire a third party to do so). There's not a special McDonald's court court but there is a policy and procedure if one employee accuses another of interpersonal violence. There has to be for legal purposes. Have you ever worked somewhere that would fire you with no…

All smart companies have procedures for crimes committed by their employees, particularly against other employees. I promise you that McDonald's has a sexual assault procedure as part of their safety policy.

It reminds me of MoGlo's article early about lip service towards equal pay. I actually don't care what the Columbia president is calling for - I care about what he and his university do to prevent sexual assault and punish rapists. Actions versus words, ya know?

I FEEL YOU! I think it's dope that she WORKED for this body though - it seems a little different to me than just loving people's bodies who are thinsporational. Although I guess they work to be thin, she has a beautiful body because she has worked so hard at her job. That's so cool!

I hear ya. I don't think that's a very topical argument here. Black women are still POC. Perhaps we interpreted the tone of the article differently - I thought it was celebratory because MSNBC added a woman of color (yes, a Black woman), rather than saying "YAY MSNBC IS NAILING DIVERSITY!" I understand why you jumped…

I think it also illustrates HOW white supremacy gets ingrained in the minds of the colonized and oppressed. It's not through people using the n-word to your face - it's through teaching you that all beautiful things you should love are inherent in white dolls.

Cue all the white ladies who didn't have blonde Barbie hair "empathizing" with your sentiment because they couldn't find a doll that had red curly hair ;)

Not super sure why this is relevant, but the reason why is in the article, I believe: From 6 - 2 AM, 30 percent of MSNBC's 25-54 audience was African American, and 7 percent was Hispanic.

I LOVE THIS!!!!!

LINDY! Have you tried the coconut La Croix?? They're hard to come by where I live but girl get you some and get back to me.
