This. They have all gone down in my estimation because they are enabling this racist troll for the sake of making money. Fuck them all.

If Wickstead thinks the fit of her dress is better, she’s delusional. Apart from making the model’s breasts look really droopy AND wide (quite the feat), her dress flares out at the skirt, thereby losing the long, elegant silhouette of Meghan’s dress.

I didn’t know the story of Mary Turner, but then I’m white, so that is probably not surprising. I just looked her up, and read about all of the lynchings that were perpetrated in the wake of Smith’s death. Horrifying, all of it, with what was done to Mary Turner being the most horrific of all.

Thank you, Michael.

Michael, I always love your pieces, because of your biting wit and your amazing writing ability. This piece, however, transcends everything else you have written.

This. So much this. It’s amazing, the extent to which dogs and cats (and even nondomesticated animals) pick up our emotions as well as our intentions.

I’ve known several people (all of them white women) whom I could easily visualize calling the police about people using a grill in an “unauthorized” area, regardless of the race of the people doing the barbequeing.

There people who put raisins in potato salad?!?! Tell me it ain’t so!

Wow. Just wow.

In my town, cash is apparently not sufficient to buy a money order if you happen to be black. http://www.stltoday.com/news/local/metro/schnucks-apologizes-fires-employee-who-had-run-in-with-black/article_fdf75c29-5778-5b81-bc6b-5e0765eb7ef7.html#tracking-source=home-trending

I don’t have an issue with kids running around nude at home, or in their yards running through sprinklers, or even on public beaches. Maybe on a beach you will be subjecting them to the gaze of one or two of a handful of perverts who get off on naked kids, but that ‘s minor when compared to putting their images out on…

I think that Zimmerman is either going to die violently, or end up in prison, or both. His tucked up sense of machismo almost guaranteed that.

Eh, it’s not just a Southern thing. I grew up in Illinois, eating bologna, fried or not, and fried Spam. During the spring, summer and fall, it was radish sandwiches all the way. But the bread was my mother’s homemade rye, which was cheaper than grocery store bread.

My bet is that he’s gone by the end of July. I’d say sooner, but trump’s lawyers are providing him with a lot of distractions ATM.

As someone who has lived with severe clinical depression all my adult life, I think that mental illness (short of severe schizophrenia or other conditions that make you lose touch with reality entirely) may help explain some bad behaviors, but it doesn’t excuse them.

Has anyone noticed that no one,and I mean no one, in trump’s orbit has any ethics whatsoever?!

The phrase ”You couldn’t make this stuff up” has become applicable to every aspect of life lately.

Five years - what a ridiculous, out of proportion sentence.

The WH investigating Kushner?! What a joke!

There are times when I see young people, and I think “I wouldn’t allow my underage son/daughter to go out in public dressed like that.” This is NOT one of those times. There’s nothing whatsoever wrong with that outfit (quite apart from the ridiculousness of pulling her from the bus home, which is wrong, even if she…
