You say wives, but I think of the daughters too —all those coming out balls with fancy dresses, etc.

Didn't she have a stroke a few years back?

Although Patrow is rich and suspect she has to concern herself with making equal pay to the men in Hollywood. I don't know why being a mother was introduced. A woman with children or without need to have the opportunity to make equal pay to their male counterparts.

Drop dead.

You really cannot read if you think I was ever defending Missouri. Claiming racist states as the South is a technique that allows you to believe that racism is limited to the South. Missouri is not called the south by anyone but you. What's next, when Maine's racism is highlighted you will call that the south as…

If I lived or not lived in Missouri is irrelevant to the fact that Missouri is not the South. To claim Missouri is the South is to continue to pretend that racism is limited to the south. Racism is not limited to the south. Racism is all over the country, including Missouri, which is not the south.

There are people in the educational system who cannot wait to wield power over anyone. Not most, not even quiet a few, but some. Some people teach in order to power over. A red flag is when someone cannot not tell you how they are a mandated reporter. It's like they are gagging for the opportunity to report.

Or you could say extra-sensitive reflexes.

You don't get to include a state as the south in order to justify your geographical prejudice. That is not how it works. I'm sure in the early days of slavery no state had clean hands, including the Northern and Midwestern states that get to deflect their racism now by pretending racism is isolated to the South. …

No big deal. I brought up Missouri and Indiana (or was it Ohio) as examples of recent racism that is not the south.

I really don't appreciate the implication that Southerners are any worse than the rest of the country. We currently live in California and our family is more invisible here than anywhere. At least in the south we knew who was going to betray us and who was not. If they didn't like us they would turn their backs on…

Anti-racism is hard work for white people. I'm not saying harder than that of someone who actually suffers from it, but difficult nevertheless. For one, besides doing what is right, white people don't have much of a personal motive, so facing the possibility of losing something (such as family support) can squash…

When white people don't want to lose their white family support they do not confront that white family support. Again, as well as the other comment, I not throwing shade. Anti-racism is hard work.

Kudos for fuming? What do you mean you know why she was being a racist fuck? How is there a reason to be racist? If you don't want anyone to think you agree (are a racist), you have to be anti-racist. It takes more than fuming in silence. Not that I am casting shade. You have to ask yourself do you want to…

Obviously, you have empathy my friend. The world needs more of it.

Those mass produced roses hardly ever have an aroma.

So she gets the message across. Like your misogynistic message of calling her a bitch in the vein of endearing.

The phrase "booty call" accentuates the height of linguistic vulgarity.

I think Alice in Wonderland is stupid.

Wouldn't The Giver be YA and not children's?
