Rolls eyes? Are we really at a place where we no longer feel the need to make the distinction between what Rapp described as “trying to get with me sexually” and rape? Come on.

Wow, zero to ad hominem real quick!

I avoided knowing anything about pregnancy throughout my life because I really never planned to have kids. I got married right before I turned 40 and got pregnant immediately. I ended up having that thing where your placenta doesn’t fully come out after birth and went through the excruciating manual removal. I will…

Yes but that would still be a ridiculous charge. You’re not supposed to have drugs in your possession. You could have partied all night and still be covered in coke powder for brunch but what would you be charged with? You’re not high, you don’t have drugs in your pocket that you can do or sell, so, what would the…

And why a warrant for traces found on your luggage anyways? Luggage gets touched by dozens of people in hotels, gets handled alongside thousands of pieces of luggage in airports, on planes in cabs, why should you be charged or even have to explain traces of any nature?

I don’t care if she has bathtubs filled with coke, Harvey still shouldn’t rape people.

As a foreigner, it seems to me that the first thing you need to fix is single payer health insurance. Other rich countries have similar issues with poverty, but none (apart from Mexico) approach your maternal death rate.

This is actually not true. Research has shown that even high income, very well educated (bachelors degree or higher) African American women who do everything right with their health and diet, actually have worse outcomes than poor whites do.

Before everyone dismisses this as caused by poverty and flamin hot Cheetos, it must be mentioned that bad maternal/Child outcomes for African Americans transcend class, education, income, location, etc. a high-income African American lawyer in the suburbs is likely to have worse pregnancy outcomes than white trailer…

I think you are being too hard on the couple. People get to realise what may be so obvious to others at different stages in life. Yes, maybe it has hit home now that the family decided to adopt a black kid and will now have to dig deeper at the realities black people face. People learn and identify with various issues…

Her action means that her children live in a less hostile and more welcoming environment. That is extremely important to the emotional development of minority children. 

Moving neighborhoods and switching churches are important steps that benefit her children. Soooo many white parents of brown kids, including mixed kids, never make the effort to live, worship, and socialize in more diverse environments for the benefit of their children.

Whoa, what about some compassion, or patience, or recognition that personal evolution is good even if it doesn’t happen on YOUR schedule? Someone should really give classes in how to be woke without being a screeching, bitter-sounding asshole, and supposedly progressive folks like you should think about taking them. …

Holy shit. She’s telling you her personal experience, and telling you how she sees the world now, and how her heart is with her children and what they’re going to face, and you want to kick her in the face because she still doesn’t meet your standards for “woke”?

Okay, look, I was one of them until this last couple of years. Yes, I knew racism existed and I understood and accepted the notion of my own privilege, but I did NOT see how deep and pervasive this problem was until it seemed like half of America took off their masks to reveal demons below while saying, “Whew, thank…

No, racism was not baked into Christianity from the get-go. I am neither defending nor attacking Christianity, but I know its history. To engage in a good discussion and debate, we need to write thoughtfully.

Small step my ass. The woman has courage, and conviction, and the sort of love we should all aspire to. To quote one of our nation’s greatest living poets, you diss her, you diss yourself.

I’m going to add whoever coined the term “Woke” to the list of people that get offed as soon as I can get my hands on a time machine.

If it was that easy to see, then everyone would see it. The fact is that we do not see with naked eyes, and that the institution of white supremacy itself makes it extremely hard for the majority of white people to see it. Of course they know the individual things going on, but to them it doesn’t touch their life,…

I remember having a conversation similar to this with my husband during the election when it was becoming painfully obvious that Trump had won. I was completely baffled as to how people could actually elect someone like that, but my husband reminded me that I grew up near a military base in Maryland, went to college…
