It doesn't suck that I married a POC. The point about you being in a meaningful relationship is just highlighting how, in a mature relationship, two people grow, share, and experience things together. There is a difference being fully committed and married to a POC and just "dating" one. Anyway, I'll admit being

"The annoying parts of racism" relates to having to deal with the well-meaning, usually liberal white, people who aren't aware of how they are being racist. It isn't pleasant, but it also isn't burning crosses or creating barriers….I admit poor word choice and not being super clear on that, but is disingenuous to make

The question is whether you are deciding if your actions are racist or is a POC?

That is mainly a white people problem. In my experience, it is usually white people who scold other white people for "being racist". That's a big part of the problem in my book.

Little miffed by the whole removal of the Star system (which WAS sort of useless) but I haven't figured out the new system yet. It seems to be feeding me things I like but I'm too hesitant to commit to "liking" a movie.

My god. I've never met someone who write comments in Youtube….how can you do that? Jesus, it's the dregs of commenting. You're braver than I am, for sure.

That's because we poorly teach history. Indentured servitude WAS nearly as bad as slavery in many ways. However, since we don't teach about it, the people you're talking about just fill in the gaps instead of considering things like what is the difference between being an indentured servant and chattel? Why did

If you're a black man then perhaps you should share some insight instead of snark….

Actually, being married to a POC is an opportunity for unique insights than it would be otherwise. It's a little weird you'd imagine it wouldn't be…..

Haha. I was waiting for someone to bring that up. I actually have totally non-formed, probably judgmental and racist, thoughts about that topic…. I won't share them because they are probably indefensible. lol.

Yes, that's absolutely correct. IMO even well-meaning liberal whites want to control the narrative….which is, I guess, a bit racist.

Of course you can, but I was just offering up the most fun way to confront racism. :)

Lift weights and/or learn to play guitar. I'm just offering an easy way to end racism but I can't do the impossible, sheesh. :)

No one in particular, or all white people who don't actually interact with poc and think they aren't racist…..not any individual though.

I live in one of the whitest, most liberal places in the world. It's amusing to me how many white people can be so vehemently against racism and claim they aren't racist without ever meaningfully engaging (hell, barely talking to) non-white people. I really hate to break it to them, but you can't intellectualize your

I should probably re-watch it before giving such a big thumbs up, but I remember being shocked that I liked a movie with Pattinson and I'm a DeLillo fan and think more of his stories should be made into movies.

I never heard of this band or song until SNL because now I'm old. I give lots of music a pass….but I can't believe guys that look like that pass as "musicians" these days….jesus.

Well, firstly, Weezer must be doing something right because they're still huge and everyone agrees they put out consecutive bad albums….a few times.

He's lucky that dude that licked his butt isn't a germophobe.

Cosmopolis is criminally underrated for what it is and who is stars.
