The black literary experience, as lauded by the white literary world, must include something harrowing. I resent that.

Literary fiction has largely been monopolized by dusty MFA programs dominated by white men. Aside from the obvious injustices of such a system, it also has another fault worth noting. THEIR SHIT IS BORING. When “serious writing” is no longer protected by the white male university system and successful writers depend…
Oh man, I know exactly the conversation you’re talking about. But a few weeks ago, I had my (male) fiancé read the whole metafilter thread on emotional labor (https://docs.google.com/document/d/1UP…) and we had a pretty rough conversation afterward. But I think it really sunk in. (And he also started out as a totally…
This just happened to one of my spouse’s students. She thought she had the stomach flu when she went to the hospital. A couple hours later, and she had a full term 7.5 lbs baby. She was an athlete so had irregular periods, and had spotting during the pregnancy.
Oh wow... my niece is 5. I cant wait to have these conversations with her teen self. “You saw President Kanye live back when he still made music?? What was that like??” “Transcendent.”
Look at this Lil’ Kim Davis costume (with Magic Mike Huckabee):
It’s just plain old chicken noodle soup, but with tortellini instead of kluski. The tortellini thickens the broth some, and the cheese from the tortellini leaks out and flavors the soup as well. It’s delicious. I do it with homemade garlic gnocchi most of the time, but it has been a tortellini kind of mood lately.
Interestingly, the historically Jewish sorority at the University of Alabama has long been racially and religiously inclusive and recently had a black president. But that sorority has also never been allowed in the Machine.
That complaint is often made about historically black sororities. Just yesterday, in the comments under al.com’s story about this, every other comment was a redneck bitching about AKA.
Also SDT takes nonjews, at least it does at Alabama.
Your sister is an excellent excuse for a human being and I wish she was my best friend.
Lol is it D Phi E?! I was one at Kennesaw and that’s exactly the shit we got from the other sorority on campus, at the time. I was like uh yeah, we were founded by Jewish girls that were sick of being excluded... and everyone likes us because we’re open to anyone joining.
Isn’t the fact that they’re “exclusionary” the point of a sorority?
Keeping White Christians from doing ANYTHING is racist.

While racism is, for the most part, over in America, some unsettling news has come to light suggesting that it’s actu…
