You know, I think that’s the overall problem. No matter WHAT, you get shamed and screwed over. Like, I can’t tell you how many times I’ve gotten the short end of the stick and told, “Oh, well, you’re happy to work late, right? It’s not like you have KIDS waiting for you. And I have to get my boy to his soccer…

Amen times a thousand! Not to mention that children of privelege have a certain confidence that others do not have. When you have always had privelege, you feel worthy of such, and you conduct yourself that way. It’s an invisible golden armor. It’s an expectation that you deserve nice things and will get them.…

No, but she probably had to take a bus one time, right after she declared her independence and left her parent’s upper east side home to go down to Union Square and throw her hat up in the air. After that she called a cab home tout de suite, because she didn’t realize you had to interact with so many poors.

I know!!! My boyfriend and I can’t even talk about it anymore. He thinks Adnan did it, which doesn’t make any sense to me. “Uh I was afraid to get arrested for selling some pot so I helped COVER UP A MURDER.” Please. She probably went up to the car thinking it was Adnan, decided to confront him about cheating (or…

I think Jay did it and is telling the story as though Adnan did it.

And today I found out that Van/Kevin married Sarah Shahi. Huh.

But not even good cocaine. Cocaine that’s 10% pure, 50% baby laxative and 40% acetone.

I thought it was all the sisters and just noticed it’s just Kim after reading your comment.

Kim’s face changes so much in that gif that I had to watch it a few times to realize it wasn’t different people.

What, the pool part? Nope, its giant and really nice in the summer. We went with the stacked stone on the hot tub, really adds a lot of class. Great place to entertain.

Like most anything there are people who study this area of social science and the term racism has an actual DEFINITION that people who work within diversity, social services, and human rights use. If you have 10 definitions for a word, you can never have a conversation because there is no common ground. Hence the…

You are a complete and utter idiot.

1. 1 : a belief that race is the primary determinant of human traits and capacities and that racial differences produce an inherent superiority of a particular race

I’ve read a couple of Coates’ pieces in the Atlantic while sitting by my giant backyard pool, sipping a cool drink and generally personifying white priviledge.

I never understood why people tried to limit the definition of racism to just institutional racism. It’s stupid, dishonest, and comes across as an attempt to say that only white people can be racist.

“because racism is prejudice PLUS institutional power, and white people are the ones with institutional power.”

“Racism is prejudice plus power”

I’m sorry, when did we all decide there was only ONE viewpoint? Let me explain this to you like I explain to my kids: My older son is bigger, stronger and older, and this comes with certain privileges and expectations when dealing with his littler sister. In spite of his relative POWER, she can still be abusive…

Wrong. Telling anyone to sit down in the back based on the color of their skin, is racism.
