My point was that it shouldn’t be considered “madness” when you kill someone who has repeatedly beaten or stalked you. That would give the abuser or stalker some semblance of victimhood, which they lack in my book.

Welcome to E. Africa!

You should tell your mom about these two Kenyan women. She might or might not love them.

“and Lorena was ultimately acquitted for her actions, pleading temporary insanity.”

I knew the 70’s were making a comeback but could it true? Is Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine reuniting and getting a residency in Vegas?

I choose you, Pikachu!

Can you imagine every time Sean Penn was in the papers, people made sure to remind us that he kept Madonna hostage, raped her and beat her with a baseball bat? No, instead they talk about how much he loved to help poor black folks in Haiti.

It’s sad to see that one’s homosexuality (especially in relation to one’s blackness) is still being used a dagger to excise important and relevant voices in the conversation. It’s this sort of attitude that led Wallace Thurman, James Baldwin and Langston Hughes to disengage or silence their homosexuality for the sake…

I once caught the Soviet version of this (8 motherfucking hours). They showed 4 hours one night and the other 4 the next night. I missed the second night and I hope this series fills in the blanks because I just can’t with the book.

I think that Turkey, in its efforts to portray a softer image of itself towards other Muslim nations, is pulling out all the stops in this PR campaign. In Somalia, they sponsor vloggers who go around Mogadishu and at every turn make sure to thank the Turkish government for its generosity. I don’t remember Turkey’s…

I thought it was a “thing” but hey, I like spinning together words.

That woman is a Fox employee. I’ve seen her on other Fox shows. She’s just a Tia Tomasina.

It’s like how Jeb Bush, father to two sociopathic children, has the gall to lecture others on morality and what causes social ills.

They’re trolling.

The fact that she made up some lie about being gang-raped, falsified records and then plotted to kill her parents has nothing to do with her being SE. Asian or having helicopter parents. I saw firsthand the sort of anxiety in kids (which isn’t a bad thing) it can induce when A or A- isn’t good enough (I was always…

I remember one kid from my high school who was of Tamil extraction. His parents were hard-motherfucking-core and they exemplified it in their lives. They worked like two jobs each and delivered news papers to convenience stores early before their first job started. They wouldn’t let him date or hang with us (mind you,…

It’s like her parents created an environment where she had to live in a parallel world.

I thought everyone in North America did that! Either you go camping, because you have a friend with a car/rental or you go to someone’s cottage. I really like Calabogie.

Not to make light of this situation but I went to a north Toronto high school with a lot of South Asian, Chinese and Viet kids who seemed to under the same strain this young lady was facing. I don’t remember any plotting to kill their parents though.

Your poor dad. I actually taught myself, and my demonic mother enforced it, to keep my eyes fixed on your face when you speak. Having grown up in a largely female household, my younger brother and I were always partial to the “female POV” (whatever that means). That meant that one had to focus on a woman when she…
