But why the white socks? WHY???

Can we just imagine what we want for the video? I'll just think of Kate Bush singing "Sat in Your Lap" because...it would be totally irrelevant, but...it's Kate :)

My family is chock full o' racists on both sides. 'Ghetto names' mean 'haha dumb blacks' to them. I see what you're saying, about there being two concepts there. But, for many non-black people, there's a definite link between the two. There's a mentality of "omg, if she weren't some welfare queen that dropped out of…

Honestly it wasn't funny. Objectively it was just a pretty stale joke and not that clever. I'm not bothered by him making it, but the fact that white people still think the 'haha ghetto names!' thing is fresh or humorous—that's why we call them 'nillas. So uninspiring.

Also...it's not nearly as offensive.

I so want to believe you're actually Armond White.

That video made me young and carefree as a girl again. I swear. It has healing powers.
Bless you.

yessssss! i luuurve Sam! he's the King!

We don't know the whole story...this guy could've been suffering from severe mental illness just like the woman in the story and not have gotten the treatment he needed...his mental health could've been the reason he lost custody...who knows! Either way, suicide is horrific and there are inadequate resources to…

Suicide is the 10th leading cause of death now and men are 4x more likely to successfully commit suicide. I'm so glad I'm working on suicide research focusing on the role of masculinity in suicide...

I feel bad for the father as well as the child. No one jumps out of a building because they feel angry. It's just so fucked up. :(

This just happened today, so of course we don't have the full story...

I just have the utmost sympathy for all involved. Including the child victim & the father. I speak from my own past experience coming through a serious, suicidal depression that someone who's so depressed they're considering suicide, they're not thinking clearly. I'm not excusing his actions, I can just see where he…

It doesn't FOR YOU. You are not a woman, and I am guessing that you've never had a fellow gay guy yell threats or insults at you after staring. If we don't give the "right response" that is likely to happen. Context is everything here. And there is also a difference between playfully looking at people and being…

Making eye contact, yes—especially when the attention is returned with a smile. But when your advances (because that's what staring is—an advance) are rebuffed, you look away and pretend nothing happened. If you are starting in such a way that you would be embarrassed if someone saw you (like at a sleeping woman's…

I think he may have orchestrated the whole thing, hoping to break free of his "restrictive" TV show. Not that there's another network with A&E's reach that will actually tolerate/promote his born-again ravings, but I am willing to bet he believes there is.

According to TMZ, gay crew members demanded some kind of action. My guess is that A&E is trying to placate them and will eventually bring Phil back.

I am wondering if A&E isn't thanking it's lucky stars that the media didn't catch on to the latent racism he showed in that interview and now they're scared to let him out in public again. Lest he be asked if black people were happier before civil rights.

Aw, that's just mean.
Meanwhile I barely give my husband chores to do on his regular off days much less when he's home sick. Even when I do it'll be like 1 thing like the dishes or moving a load of laundry from the washer to the dryer. :/

When I was a kid my mother never believed me when I was sick or hurt. The flu, strep throat, even three broken bones. She always thought I was faking it, and she always assumed my younger brother was telling the truth. It's the one thing I've truly never forgiven her for.
