I’d go one further: make the officers and their unions responsible for paying out judgments against officers. When the city covers the cost of lawsuits and just passes it onto taxpayers, the officers who committed murder / misconduct don’t feel the impact. If/when the officers and their leadership are forced to see…

My last family gathering involved me calling my cousin’s husband a transphobe, so, I feel you.

One unfortunate visit to family in Botswana when I was 10 taught me this life lesson: hippos may look adorably dopey and sweet-natured, but they are mean fuckers, and holy shit they can move fast. Having half a ton of cranky hippo bearing down on you is a way to have a really bad day. Also, they sometimes twirl their…

Um, all for using a term better than “Jew-fro,” but can you not refer to Jewish hair as “unkempt”? “Unkempt” sounds like “if you don’t straighten your hair, it’s wrong.”

Bob, it’s not fair to remind me. You oughtta know.

Yet more evidence for my “Taylor Swift deserves a special place in hell because she is a real life Regina George” list.

I always hate the “aren’t black people appropriating white clothes” argument, because white people didn’t just ask other cultures to wear their clothes, or beg people to wear their clothes, they marched themselves into other people’s countries and forced them to wear their clothes, speak their language and assimilate…

right. i mean, i am black and have 4A curls/kinks, and my hair STILL is not an afro unless i spend like 30 minutes picking it out (and probably losing half my hair in the process). they really should have said “fun summer curls/waves” and called it a day.

I didn’t when I was 12 and used that word all the time way back in 2003 or something.

Love yourself and like better people.

Yo, is that last question serious? You mean the country that managed to colonize a large chunk of Africa? You mean the country responsible for Haiti’s problems b/c they deigned to fight their colonizers? That France?

i would beg to differ...you have a lot to learn about british and french history if you don’t think they have issues with black culture there...

1. The preferred term is locks, not dreads.

Yes.

“Why is it okay for black people to have afros but not white people? Why is there BET but WET would be considered racist? Why is there black history month but no white history month? Why can they say the N-word but we can’t?”

WAAAAAIIIITTTT..... I just saw in the Instagram screen cap that they also added the freckles? Like.. I .... I love freckles, but... REAL freckles. And her hair? Her hair would be beautiful, but... I just... IDK... I am white and this is awful and I think hair and freckles like that are beautiful and should be…

Thoughts in real time:

“Do I think about who he was as a person? Not really, because it doesn’t matter at this point. Do I think he had the best upbringing? No. Not at all.”

Yet, somehow Wilson feels that Brown’s alleged theft of cigarillos from a corner store (as cited in the Justice Department’s report) made Brown a “bad guy”

Ugh I’m so mad about this.
