I think the issue has to do with personal experiences and opinions. Like, I know what I know and feel the way I feel about America and race and representation specifically because I’ve had eye-opening conversations with people from other cultures and races and religions that have taught me so much and changed the way

This is exactly the problem with the left these days. There is so much arguing over how to be the perfect white ally and its all getting so subjective and confusing. I think open dialogue and a genuine desire to understand others’ viewpoints is so crucial to growth, but there are sooo many comments on this post saying

I’m struggling with this as well. I am a white person. I think that open dialogue and a genuine desire to understand another race or culture is a good thing. For example, my boyfriend is an undocumented immigrant. I had been sensitive to undocumented immigrants before (in the sense that I advocated for paths to

Which is also a trope that, as a teacher, I really despise. So many tv shows depict millennials going out in the world, failing, and then saying “I know, I’ll teach!” as if its something that everyone just does when they cannot figure out what else to do. And not only did the show use this trope, they made it even

Wow you took the words right out of my mouth! That’s exactly it, in the original series (especially in the later episodes) the audience is constantly told how amazing Rory is but we never actually see her being amazing. The script literally contains lines talking about Rory as an angel, but then the writers would have

This bothered me so much in the original run. I went to a rigorous prep school similar to Chilton, and let me tell you, the girls like Paris were the ones that got shit done, got into any university they wanted, went on to law or med school. The Rorys did not just magically get accepted into every single Ivy League

I really do not understand why the entire country isn’t completely freaking out and demanding a new election or an early impeachment or something ANYTHING because this is actually so so so so fucking bad.

Right? Like that pictures proves that immigrants are a part of our country and that DACA recipients have bright futures contributing to America.

Thanks for posting this so I didn’t have to. I have been hearing so many people lately saying “just do it legally” in regards to immigration. Its pretty damn hard to become a citizen. My boyfriend is a DACA recipient and still the easiest way for him to get citizenship is if we got married, and that still can be a 3-5

This is like when people got pissy at Mad Men for being sexist. Um...its a period piece set in New York City in the 60s. Its just being realistic.

One of my very funny friends and I hung out the other day for the first time in a while. We were joking about door holding and chivalry and he goes “Is that why there’s always a long line at the women’s restroom? Because there’s no guy around to open the door for you all?? How do you go anywhere?!?!”

The few clips I’ve seen of her I’m always struck by how obvious it is she’s reading off a teleprompter.

Oh, for sure. I grew up in and still live in Miami and people are going wild here. Growing up as a kid in South Florida, we’re essentially taught that Castro is almost to the same level of evil as Hitler. I am not being sarcastic. The man is utterly reviled down here. It is SO interesting to watch Miami Cubans’

This is NOT snarky, I swear, but did you watch the episode of Girls where she says “I am the voice of a generation.”?? To me, it was always clear that that line was a joke and meant to display how narcissistic and clueless the character was. I guess a lot of people took it seriously, ran with it, and here we are,

Nailed it. I swear, the sheer hatred and disgust directed towards her has baffled me for years at this point. I really think that a few people on the internet had issues with her and it ballooned into this huge witch hunt that she, frankly, doesn’t deserve. That Instagram post is so innocuous. She’s really just not

“I really wish Dems would make a bigger deal about how far ahead she is in the popular vote.” Same here. I am actually somewhat surprised that this isn’t a bigger deal. The interesting thing is that in a way, the Electoral College was created for expressly this purpose - if the American people elected an imbecile, the

Yes, and I think this goes for a lot of voters in general. I am a Clinton supporter and happily voted for her in the primaries and general election, however, I do come from a social scene that was allllllll about the “lesser of two evils” stuff. All the way up until the election these people were posting about how

Thank you for saying this. I’m confused at all these comments - West berated two people on stage multiple times and encouraged a fascist for president. These are two narcissistic people who live for the camera and have contributed nothing. How come this Trump supporter gets a pass but all the

Yeah, I saw that twitter picture of the three of them doing the Hitler salute with the caption saying “Seig Heil!” and I just...don’t...understand...????

And just such blinding privilege! As a straight white American woman I am “safe” from Trump’s presidency, but my boyfriend, a DACA recipient, will most definitely lose his job come January and god forbid may actually get deported. Sarandon has nothing to lose, millions of others do.
