My beloved cousin (who is as a sister to me) fostered and then adopted a little boy who is now 9 (he was 6 when she first fostered him). That he is far, far better off with her than with his birth parents is without question. His life with his birth mother was full of violence and neglect and he will be working…

I want to see that so badly now!

WHAT.the.actual.f**k.

He’s not wrong, but his attempt to ride that moral high horse bareback is at best, comical.

I think the question posed was not as implied by the title. The letter seems to be more “how do I tell my MIL that she’s racist?” And the answer is, you don’t. Unless she suddenly starts picking up Ta Nehesi Coates books on her own, nothing you say is likely to impact her. Stop talking about politics with her because…

Oh it was MUCH funnier than Girls.

This. Agreed.

I actually kind of like the first one. But SATC2 is unwatchable.

And how can anyone forget the gem that was Big Trouble in Little China?

And the Border Patrol.

I get sick when I think of how that money could be better spent. Not to mention the traffic, the security nightmares...I’m gonna puke. I think the time line for implementing my exit plan from this desert hellhole has just been moved up.

ABORTION! ABORTION! ABOOOOOOOOOOORTION!

Poor little flower. He’s frustrated.

100% agree.

And 15 is pretty close to 18 —- it would be much worse if she said she was 12 and he still went with it

So when you made the assumption that all white people hold all the cards in society and therefore cannot be a victim of racism, do you think you made a racist statement about all white people based off characteristics or abilities specific to that race as to distinguish it as superior?

Does the black-owned business receive the same treatment by police officers (say if there is a disturbance) that the white-owned business receives?

Racism has EVERYTHING to do with power, and specifically institutions. Racism is based on the belief that there are inequalities between races, and guess which race is held to be superior?

Don’t confuse “racism” and “prejudice.”
