I’m going to Tanzania in December, any tips?

I once burned the tops of my feet just going shopping for an hour in sandals. That’s how I learned why Sudanese women wear socks if they’re wearing strappy sandals. I just began to wear sneakers if I was going to be outside for more than 15 minutes at a stretch.

I was on the subway when this young Muslim couple boarded and I couldn’t help but be pissed off by the incongruity of their outfits. The man was dressed for the warm day: Shorts and a t-shirt. The t-shirt was one of those clever French Connection shirts that says FCUK. The woman was wearing a hijab and a…

I don’t care what I am able to wear there. Since they are still beheading atheists, I’ll keep my distance.

It’s not nearly as bad as you’re thinking. I’m a white American, and I lived in Sudan for a bit - which I acknowledge is different from Saudi because there’s no prescribed piece of clothing that you have to wear over your other clothes (you can wear modest “modern” dress - lots of women wear abaya but no one is making…

Yea, it’s amazing how many Christian men ignore the whole “if your eyes cause you to sin, pluck them out. If your hand causes you to sin, cut it off.” directive in the Bible. It’s much easier to just blame women.

Right. Isn’t it amazing how so many gods are racist, sexist, homophobic, unreasonable, and vengeful? Almost like they are created in the image of the people that worship them.

It’s really odd to me that these things happen and some people think feminists shouldn’t be allowed to discuss how this is sexist. You can’t excuse sexism, racism, and homophobia under the guise of “culture” or “religion.”

Just to head this off at the pass; no, it’s still racist if you’re going to come into the comments to say something along the lines of “You know I normally wouldn’t say this, but the Roma really are [insert X stereotype here], and I know that because of [insert Y story about a trip to Europe]”

OF COURSE there was gonna be a backlash.

No, the problem is the Democratic establishment is a bunch of morons. If the Clinton team couldn’t tell they might just possibly have an issue in Wisconsin when they ignored the state for the entirety of the general campaign, or Michigan, when Debbie Dingell was all but screaming to the DNC that things were going…

Maya Rudolph is perfect.

I don’t think McGregor’s race dictates his behavior and I don’t think stuff like this helps.

As others have stated, everybody is racist. And I do mean everybody. It is human nature, part of the primal tribalism we relied on for thousands of generations.

As a white guy living in the most multicultural city in the history of the world, married to a person of color...

Well that piece of dog shit had no qualms bout pushing all his weight onto a woman until she tumbles down a fucking flight of stairs.

Team Dream. That child was born to the worst couple in the thirstiest family on Earth.

Millions of Americans from doctors to waste collectors went in to work yesterday. #thanksrealworld

This will matter none to the people who it needs to reach, if it even reaches them.

This will not change because white support for laws INCREASE when they are made aware of racially biased outcomes.
