There needs to be a movement in recently-young adults (mid-late 20s people) to seriously educate teens. Clearly their 30 and 40 something parents are not doing it.

NO. GOD NO. Do no lick donuts that you don't intend to eat. Do not lick anything you have not purchased. DO NOT STAND WITH THE BABY IN POPSTAR CLOTHING. She is a baby and cannot stand herself.

It might be that the video was widely condemned for its racist editing bias and she agreed to be associated with a feminist cause, but not one that was going to edit the footage together that way.

One community in our area got really, really mad when it was disclosed that over 2 million had been given to an organization to do outreach about health.

I am willing to bet that she didn’t know the video was going to be what it was, and probably wouldn’t have done it if she had known. Also, oral agreements are for suckers.

Beiber swooping in to “save Kylie is actually helping to prove Amandlas original point .Here you have a guy who immerses himself in the dress, lingo , dance and music of black culture for his career advancement , yet has not once shown any concern or care for the other side of the black experience you know teenagers…

All with added benefit of stripping out the disdainful paternalism to permeates so many other…

So? You do realize that there are self-hating Jews, right?

Thank you for this article. I think it touches on so many important topics- the segregation that the freeway only helped, the DRIVE from people in power for “measurable data” when those on the ground are just begging for more social workers, the meaninglessness of all that data, the use of it for getting more funding…
