Trump made racist comments about Mexicans. His whole birther thing towards Obama was racist as well. This isn’t just about a policy difference with Democrats.

Nice! Doesn’t sound too cumbia, though. Or is it just with this song that it’s like that?

I once boarded a plane, found my seat, and sat down next to a lady in her 50s. She had a smart phone or tablet thing in her hand, and she immediately turned to me and asked, “Excuse me, do you know how to turn this on?”

It’s been suggested that this was why he didn’t run for office before, lest all this stuff come out again. It looks like, after an initial bit of shock, the media has finally started to treat him like they would any other candidate, and poke around in his past.

Make sure to read Laura Agustín, especially her book, “Sex at the Margins: Migration, Labour Markets and the Rescue Industry.” One problem with talk and studies about “sex trafficking,” is that there is no single agreed-on definition that everyone uses. For some, ALL sex work is sex trafficking. And as described in…

Even brown women and those who don’t speak English have agency and make choices. Have no idea what distinction you are trying to make here, but I sense a bit of colonialist thought.

Yeah, I have one of those too. I use this instead:

Same here. These cocottes and almost everything else on the list I would use!

Yeah, it sounds sorta like a dry throat. It’s easy not to notice, but once someone points it out, it’s hard to ignore, as the article notes.

That’s what her lawyer put out. Those aren’t facts. The person leading the investigation is the one who I paraphrased in my comment:

Yeah. Reminds me of Ultraviolence, how, at first, I wasn’t too impressed with the songs. But then they later really, really grew on me. I can see that happening with this song. It takes an interesting turn, for example, a full 4 minutes into it.

I love Rihanna. But, yeah, her songs aren’t that good.

I love LA. I love Lana’s LA.

They weren’t medically trained and did no mental competency tests on her.

But all we have is ink on paper, dude. That’s the only place we can get meaning. We can’t go into the author’s mind to get the intent, especially if they are dead.

Her hometown has been putting on a play of TKAM for over a decade now. But just two months ago, a new non-profit was created “by Ms Lee” that removed the rights to put on the play. Is she aware of all these changes to her town?

Ok. You can disagree with it, but you were trying to brush it aside as nothing more than faddish deconstruction. It’s based on a standard view of the reading process.
