Because Kanye is one of the biggest name celebrities on the Earth and because he's very, very outspoken about race issues. Much of her fiancee's art and public discourse is dissecting what it means to be Black and male (and now, incredibly famous and wealthy) in a world in which, statistically, he should be dead, in…

Sounds like SMG's boycott is finally starting to kick in....

No, there is a lot to be SHAMED in the letter. Shame on Kim for hiding behind her wealth all of these years and not being engaged with the world around her. Shame on her for dating AND/or marrying numerous men of color, yet never once opening her eyes to what they may have experienced in their lives (I mean, like this…

Uhh, I don't know why you are telling me to cut her some slack. I wasn't mocking her - I was stating that it's strange that she seems so insulated from the effects of discrimination. Yes, that genocide happened a century ago but every Armenian I've ever met knows about it and talks about (and there is a large Armenian…

I guess my issues is that, considering her relationship history and who some of her friends are, it honestly never occurred to me that that she didn't understand racism was still prevalent in our society.

I totally agree - this is probably the first (and dare I say last) time I've been encouraged by something a Kardashian has said, and I, for one, will not mock it.

I don't know...she could maybe start by learning the names of the people she referenced in her letter, particularly since she was supposed to be giving them a voice.

Nah, the puppy would be cute. Kim is just annoying.

I didn't say she was racist, but she should have been active and interested in the issue since it was one that had a direct effect on the lives of people she claimed to care about and love.

For me, it's kinda like watching a puppy bark at its own image in the mirror.

It would be better if she realized that racism, sexism, homophobia, etc were important before they directly impacted her. Ignorance - to a certain degree - is fine and everyone has to grow and learn and all that, but when you only recognize that inequality exists when it has some direct relationship to YOUR life then…

Did Kim's statement on racism make you want to tear up your MFA?

The boy from Florida? Does she mean Treyvon Martin? Could she not even google him?

While black yes. It's illegal to be black actually.

Wait, it's illegal to have a pocket knife in your own home? How is that even? This is fucked up on so many levels.

Nobody is assuming anything. However, suggesting that law enforcement take complaints from women of color differently than they take complaints from women who are white is an assertion based on evidence. If you'd like to make the case why this particular instance of a police department failing to follow up on sexual…

FUCK THIS SHIT. I hunt. I "get" the gun shit. But this has happened elsewhere...to protest "concealed carry," people do this open carry bullshit and claim it should be fine.

Question. If it is someone's constitutional right to carry a gun, and I am in a state where it is my constitutional right to kill someone when I feel threatened (re: stand your ground states) can I legally kill all Open Carry folks. Because I personally feel threaten by all of them. And I think that their…

Why do I get the feeling that if a few similar-minded patriots who happened to be Muslims or Arab-Americans tried carrying an armory like this into a fast food restaurant, these "Open Carry Texas" goons would be the first to call the police?

That is just straight-up terrifying. If I saw a group of men with assault rifles in a public place, I wouldn't even assume it was an armed robbery, I'd assume it was a planned mass shooting.
