I also hesitate to blame the parents just based on their profession. My little brother is currently in jail for assaulting his (maybe) baby-mama. My dad is a pastor and has gotten a LOT of flack from church people about my little brother, who dropped out of school, ran away multiple times, was homeless, doing drugs,…

I am totally for what has been labeled as ‘tough love’ but I wonder if the label miss represents it some. at some level there does have to be a “I love you but that shit can’t happen here”. I find that making the enforcement of rules not look personal helps. I give people I have had the job of enforcing rules over so…

one good thing to do in life is see where your opponent is right. does yourself a disservice if you dont. so on that.. yes at some point your kids are individuals. at some point the world they are immersed in is going to make a person out of them that you may not understand or know. I agree and understand that.  I…

“Pull them from public school. Then pull them from private school. Then they get thrown out of military school.”

well thats not in reference to the Chief though is it.

and ya fostered a kid who was into killing kittens with rocks and burning houses while his sibs were not like that. kid turned around and is a great guy…

I’ve been to Spain. Even the darkest Spaniards look nothing like west Africans. Any Latino with African features got them straight from Africa (by way of slaves)

Do you have a teenager? They are all different, unique individuals with their own personalities. Short of locking them in their room and chaining them to a wall, sometimes there is really nothing you can do. 

Tbh, I didn’t even bother to look at the mugshots. I skipped right over it, and read the article. By the time I make it to the comments, I’m reading 23&Me jokes. Then I see your comment. I’m like “ok, I gotta see what everyone is talking about. Because I’m all kinds of confused right about now.” I thought the photo…

“In a new interview with Hollywood Unlocked, Idris reflects fondly on what made the singer so wonderful. When asked if the sex was wack, he sits up and exclaims, “Amazing head. It was good! I remember that head!”

Reads somewhat differently, doesn’t it?

Hm...maybe she’s a “I’m not Black” Latina.

I’m no scientist but...her 23&Me account is going to be a big surprise to her

Way to blame the parents. Good parents have bad kids.

Some people are bound for the hoosegow and there ain’t much you can do for ‘em. Hopefully this kid will see the error in his ways after this and fly right. 

This is the only response of a good parent. I hope Mr. Natt can psychologically recover from this attack. It must be so scary to be elderly and not understand the language, and be attacked by two young jackasses like this.

“I’m just asking questions.”

I don’t blame young people for being angry. I understand it. I’ve been there,too.

Nothing Spike said was untrue. But young people have to learn everything again. So it shall be.  

being paid? are you fucking kidding me? i live paycheck to paycheck and give my money to my classroom. commenting here, asking you genuine questions is a problem? dialogue is a problem?

The shortcomings of white allies are well-known and must not be overlooked. White people have a whole lotta room to get better, and yes, pop culture and media have a bad habit of whitewashing history. But on the most practical level, Spike is right when he says, “Any time there’s been a movement, it’s been an…

I mean.
