"but you'd likely never see anything odd about a black person dating mostly white people because white is the racial "default.""

Yes. I feel the same. I was having kind of a challenging day and found this earlier and it was all I needed. I am bookmarking it for *those days*. I love that this little boy was having fun and just so open and not self-conscious. So good!

Ha! I'm cracking up at this.

Girl, just bring your own tupperware for leftovers. If you didn't say anything before just let it go and don't have it ruin your day. Eat, take home lunch for next week and maybe pack up freezer stockage and keep it moving. If you do it again for Xmas or next year (or any other time) just make sure you handle the…

Very sorry for your loss.

Oh my, girl. I'm away from family and will be sitting alone among the mounds of food I made today and will finish preparing tomorrow. I was a little sad that I'd be (quite likely) all by myself with a book and probably unable to comfortably fit into my dress on Monday, but well, that shit sounds pretty good after your…

Shut up. Seriously.

Buns are the best pets. And that bun is having the funnest time ever! You can tell s/he is happy and loved.

Sorry hit publish too soon. I say this because this minimizes the chance to see what this is really about, meaning if it's just a gaffe or if it's a result of racism. As someone who, when I cut my hair off was routinely called sir, simply because my hair isn't a)long and straight b) swinging around my shoulders, I was…

You are wrong here.

I can't stand the "I'm only worried about her health" type of bullshit.

I think she could probably stand to lose a few pounds too. But in the end, you are right, that's her business and it's no one's place to judge.

Yes girl, YES.

Wait, oh my god, I thought her husband (or whoever he is) was actually black or brown. But, are you kidding? This wench...

That thing about it being competitive in a way. Yeah, that's kind of it with me too. I am much better with this sort of thing and didn't lose sight of myself...it's been lots of work to get myself to a point where I don't do that so much. But I it still happens to a degree and making sure your focus is you rather than…

Oh my goodness, thank you.

That's a whole lotta face on that kid (as in very strong features). She's cute. I'm sure she'll be very interesting looking (in a good way) when she grows into all of it.
