Woah. That was powerful.

So, he’s sexually assaulted several people in public, with many witnesses present. How is this asshole not in jail?

Kids need some stability though. School and a daily routine are important.

I’d have a hard time taking my kids to an actively war ravaged place like Syria. I see his point. As an adult she can go where she wants - her person, her decision, but he does have equal say in where the kids go, no?

That was actually incredibly funny :)

Wow. What’s up with all the anger there bud?

This isn’t nitpicking insomuch as Rachel is pointing out issues of intersectionality. As Flavia Dzodan pointed out, “My feminism will be intersectional or it will be bullshit.” We all need to think about our feminist messages and if we’re being inclusive to all or if we need to reconsider our language. It’s how we…

You are welcome to disagree with me and to critique my argument, but you’ll need to do so in a way that’s respectful of me and of the other commenters.

Osgood’s bow tie was donated to the Smithsonian (really!). It belongs to the ages now.

I try to watch it every week. It’s really good. They had Bruce Springsteen on last week.

I’m thrilled by this decision! I know there was a chance Lee Cowan might get it because he has a soothing voice that could totally put you to sleep.

I wash my legs because I pee in the shower.

That’s disgusting. Seriously, wash your feet. They are cesspools of bacteria, and no, “gravity” bringing the soap water down isn’t enough. That’s how things like Athlete’s Foot and other foot and toenail infections spread.

That’s not what’s happening here. You’re telling us that you think he should have continued to prop up an assuption of white superiority for the sake of not offending his fans. I’m telling you that it is empowering AF for him to not give a shit about what white people think. No one cares about PR, it’s it’s curious…

I feel like I’ve disagreed with you about a lot of stuff but your responses to this paper cut vs gunshot debate are absolutely perfect. I can't with the I AM NOT RACIST WHY WONT YOU LOVE ME STOP MAKING ME FEEL BAD colorblind bullshit.

No. Racism is about power. But if you want to whitesplain away sociological terms invented and defined by people much more knolwedgable and smarter than you, I can’t stop you. I’m black after all, and only have so much power.

Oh my god you so don’t get it. Seriously, you are seriously whitewomanTM-ing right now.
