It's because women (and other victims of sexual assault) are discounted under the law. What many people have to remember is that men craft sexual assault legislation, they enforce it and more often than not are the perps.

I don’t know that there is any great result for anybody.

The struggle is real.

I would be sitting there and he would be regaling me with stories and all I could think about was biting into some jerk chicken. That poor man, if only he knew that I wasn't listening but instead daydreaming about a drumstick coated in delicious spices and fire.

My entire life is a walking irony so I don’t see it for what it is. I'm not trying to sound patronizing so I regret if it came across like that. Thanks for your insight though, you didn't have to share but you chose to and I appreciate that. I don't run into many Ricans up here so whatever I do get is usually thru…

Pierson is part of a proud tradition of conservative black Americans who are willing to cape for the system despite their continued denigration by the said system. This includes Rice, Powell, Thomas, and Sowell. They ought to be ashamed of doing the master's bidding but it nourishes their souls, or the space where…

I think they don't value the truth so they don't mind lying to us. I just avoid any white or Arab establishment that does hair because in their eyes, if it's not dead straight and lifeless, it's worth doing. I just go to a Jamaican barber now and he knows exactly what's he doing and at a cool 15 bucks, it's a pleasant…

No, she was the stylist. The lady standing up was the model in the segment.

You're right, it's not been peachy keen but how would independence advance the goals of Ricans, both state-side and on the island?

Yes, some reason. Not racism but other words that start with 'r'.

Thank you! If I gave a pass to someone because they are a person of colour, then I’d be walking around with fucked up hair all the time. Don't touch my hair if you don't know how to work it!

I haven't chopped my curls in so many years because I've had bad experiences with people fucking up my hair. I've even gone to barbers/stylists that I called beforehand (to ask if they knew how to handle African textures of hair) only to find they fucked up and they would shrug when I'd complain. I understand she's a…

PR's economic woes are definitely not pleasant but I'd venture to say that the island has fared better under American rule than if it were an independent country that faced American intrusion and military coups.

I'm sure one could argue that both Catalonia and Scotland were colonized by the English and Castilian forces a few centuries before global colonialism.

Do you not remember the various blood diseases that plagued now nonexistent houses? Obviously the rules have relaxed but to deny that Euro royals weren't incestuous is to be ignorant of the past.

I'm pretty sure they will.

OK. You obviously don't understand being a fan....

Is that a movie? A fashion line?

So he's essentially spewing a positive spin on a situation that is less than desirable. PR hacks are just the best!
