Wouldn’t “cultural appropriation” be more like using a society’s sacred symbols or figures as a fashion statement- Buddhas, Native American dream catchers or feathers in your hair? I agree that reduction of a culture is appropriate in the scenarios you gave. I just think there are scenarios where appropriation is the

Please God, no! I am a fan of action films but this was one of the most ridiculous, boring movies I’ve seen. I need some sort of actual, meaningful plot to go along with my action.

Sorry but I don’t have much faith in Anderson. Not sure if you caught the Jeopardy! “Power Players” week with him or not. It was the worst episode of Jeopardy I’ve ever seen. It was crickets after most every clue. I had expected seasoned reporters to have more knowledge of subjects like Afghanistan.

To add to the chorus of replies below- Just give us a button down that doesn’t pop open or have the big hole beneath my boobs! Fairly thin here with C to D cup. Good grief!

Now playing

Looks like Eric still got it wrong. It doesn’t resemble the AP photo or this video:

Looks like he wrote off his mistake as no big deal.

Love your screen name. I think I’ve watched every British detective show on Netflix and I enjoyed Gently. I loved the music and clothes. I learned that “Northern Soul” was a thing from that show.

I suppose as far as the resignation goes I can’t or don’t know what his motivation was for demoting her. I guess I hoped that she would fight harder to keep the position she earned rather than go away quietly. Again I don’t know the reason for the demotion nor her motivation for leaving and not saying why. While I

Once again I learn new things in Kinja comments. I had never read Burroughs but picked up a couple of his books at a library sale. I have a problem of buying a lot of books and it takes me a while to get to them. Learning this makes me think maybe I’ll just donate the ones I have. I think that feeling of being conned

No the “reverse OJ” here is where they chose to hold the trial. If OJ had been tried in Brentwood it would be a similarly mostly white jury. The defense purposely had the venue changed and played on the idea of this great black hero being wrongly accused by white people. The ESPN documentary and Amercian Crime season

Guess it’s a little early to expect a correction but that’s quite a bit of difference.

That’s what I have an issue with though. While I can understand your and perhaps her reading of the situation to let them come around on their own, I don’t see how she really “showed them the error of their ways.” I mean maybe you can point to the coffee incident in isolation but her continuous, at least in this post,

Not just the coffee but her seeming inability to recognize a lot of her treatment as sexist. While I appreciate that she seems to be coming from a positive outlook sort of viewpoint. There were way too many “what’s the point of making a fuss?” type responses for my taste. You don’t have to be shitty to let people know

Reading the NYT article I see that Johnson pulls the old “I’ll surround myself with the best people” routine. When will people get it that most reasonable people prefer there President to at least be informed about news covered by almost every news outlet? I mean I don’t have the expectation that someone with

I second MentatYP. I love that I learn new things in the comment section. While Kinja can be a pain in the ass at times the quality of comments on the former Gawker media empire are above and beyond any of the other sites. Even the NPR sites are littered with trolls.

That’s my take on this. I mean does she want to be comforted by Trump? I couldn’t imagine she would prefer him touching her more.

The fact that he didn’t understand where and how oil is obtained coupled with not knowing the current market value given the other sources of oil makes my head explode. I just want to scream “how dumb can this man be?” Followed by “Please don’t let him anywhere near policy decisions.”

It’s been a number of years but there were a couple of interns at my job back then who were debating answers to a quiz on a Cheetos bag. One insisted that Benjamin Franklin “discovered” America and the other asked what continent Africa was on. It’s very sad you seem to be encountering the same issues all these years

From the NYT article “On Saturday, a woman in the congregation approached the press corps in a different spirit. “I’m glad you’re here,” she said, proceeding to hug each reporter in sight.”
