He’s completely stuck, and its so frustrating, history will remember him as the first black president, they wont remember every instance of stonewalling he was put through, the specific brand of hate he was subjected to or the time the senate threw a tantrum and shut down the government and it was lauded as a good…

The biggest mistake he ever made was when he was first elected and had the majority he tried to play ball with both sides, I think he really thought they would get over their hate of him if he played fair, and learned the hard way they wouldn’t. Which is why senior year Obama is executive ordering things left and…

I really wish he could just come out and say “Look we get it you are all racist pieces of shit, but can we at least PRETEND to get something done here” Like the tea party was formed after he gained office, they shut down the government when he makes changes, when he was first elected there was that whole thing about…

What happens when the marketplace is filled with white dudes with axes to grind?

As a white American, I absolutely believe that we owe black Americans reparations. (I’m not sure how it would work, but it needs to be done.) Time has not erased this debt: the fact of the matter is that generations later, we are still inheriting the wealth of our slave-owning ancestors, while the descendants of…

Being Black has nothing to do with being “of the streets.”

Great way to put it. Being Black is the experience. It is different for each person though. There is no one Black experience.

Whatever. Back in my day we sold cookies the old fashioned way: with cheesy musical numbers and celebrity cameos.

Adorable.

Imagine how people here would respond if everytime there was an article about sexism a slew of men piped up to note how shocking and confusing they find it all to be as they grew up in a world of gender equality and don’t hang out with sexists and never hear people make sexist comments.

As another perpetual single this is something that I’m dying to know as well.

Perpetual single here - if this is a real story, what exactly does this relationship bring that would make you put up with even 10% of this?

Being appalled is one thing. I’m appalled. Saying you don’t understand how such a thing could be and going on about how you just don’t see racism in your world and are thus shocked SHOCKED to see it here, is yet another.

I’ll never understand why some white people feign surprise whenever other white folk spew some racist bullshit.

PREACH. I am loving Amber Rose, feminist scholar.

Whenever I wear khakis people make me do their taxes.

Wait. Are these men also adopting the police’s opinion that you can suspect any Black man who dresses like a gang banger of being one and stop and frisk them? Now how you dress and not what you say or do is what should matter?

Amber rose is quickly becoming one of my favorite people.

This is why Amber is a fucking queen.

GO girl. When I was younger, I used to dress in flannel shirts and jeans to avoid attention and instead of catcalls, I got insults, and even “well-meaning,” “Why do you dress like that??” Uh, because you told me to dress down if I didn’t want your fucking attention. Here it is, now STFU.
