For real. Future employers (VPs of Business Development for the Midwest Region notwithstanding) need to know about them.

Nothing embodies a desire to escape racism like committing to Alabama.

"Bigoted Enclaves" is the perfect way to describe so many of the little villages and towns throughout the U.S. This is not just a frat problem or a southern problem. It's a problem wherever white people have managed to keep themselves isolated from the growing diversity of the rest of the country. I only hope that

The only people that are "shocked" that this is happening in 2015 are white people. The rest of us are like "eh, it's just another [insert day of the week]."

[T]his situation shows that for all of the Selma 50th anniversary celebrations and wonderful speeches by President Obama, this country's first black president, we've got a while to go before buses filled with white dudes and their sorority friends aren't singing racial slurs and then acting like they didn't mean it

If you search that hashtag, all the posts are RIPs for her right now. Maybe it was just about joining the conversation or spreading the word to fans of the show? It raises no red flags for me — it's not like he was all "and tune in next season, folks!"

like i honestly see their point, but what happened was a real peek of the deeply ingrained view that what america has: a Woman is white, heterosexual and cisgendered. That is the kneejerk, no thought, chiseled in stone idea that society has taught them. it shows that white america, and in this instance, white women,

also black, latino men/women & first generation immigrants (non european, non white) get paid less than white women for the same job

"It's OK everyone - she's talking about equal wages, who cares that it's condescending and marginalizing, it's all for the greater good. Everything is not about race!" - all the enraged White Feminists when Clover posted about this.

Really they all just prove why white feminism is as problematic as minority women know it to be. They want to say shut up and support us and let us step on your backs as we achieve equality with our white brothers.

lmao yes keep talking about clover's lack of credibility

She totally went white feminist in the presser. That's backed up by the responses to you.

I love Patricia Arquette, but we white ladies need to hand the microphone to someone else on the wage gap, we never manage to tell the whole story.

Yeah and I was waiting on a Santa is Nordic thesis statement. Megyn Kelly's comments on Jesus is white, Eric Garner, Ferguson, Michelle Obama, President Obama, liberals "using" black people to promote a "leftist" agenda, etc. scream racism.

Talk to your doctor to find out if whiteness is right for you. Side effects include: polo shirts, country music, and sunburn.

White friendship is sharing your mayonnaise and cheese sandwich.

From the perspective of live television, saying "Coming up next, a performance from Beyonce" is going to keep a lot more people tuned in at the end of the night than "a performance from John Legend and Common."

Exactly. I have a lot of respect for teachers in general, but they're also human. I used to get dinged all the time because my handwriting is ugly. I had a teacher flat out tell me it was indicative of the quality of my thoughts. I replied that many famous geniuses had terrible writing, and he just ignored me.

We all win, except the lesser known artist who could have seen a sales bump from performing.

According to John Legend, Beyoncé approached them to perform—aka Beyoncé suggested that Beyoncé sing the song—which is a proposition you can't turn down. "She wanted to do an intro to our performance and introduce us," says Legend. "You don't really say no to Beyoncé if she asks to perform with you."
