I have a theory about people who become wildly successful/famous on the level that Steve has achieved: their relationship with their past, pre-fame and success, is an either or proposition. Either they embrace it. Or they shed it like a snake sheds its skin, leaving it in the middle of the road, to dry up and blow…

"I wanted to marry you or have you adopt me"

15/16 is the perfect age to lure them in. I remember being 16 and being an adventurous, fun-seeking missile, willing to try anything once. You feel more like an adult, like you can hurtle yourself headlong at the world without consequence.

Ok. I don't think you understand the frequency with which I get comments like that that are 100% serious. Kinda kills the instinct to take it as a joke.

Hmmm.... that was not a good save.

I'm not white.

Two, if you count Emmanuel Lubezki, who is also Mexican and won his second Oscar. Besides, two Mexican directors have won Oscars two years in a row. I know, baby steps, but believe me, for the Latino community that is HUGE.

One Latino winning does not really refute my overall point.

I would say if Beyonce wants to get up on the stage, shake it, and then say she's a feminist, then I agree that she is. She should make no apologies for doing what she wants, dancing how she pleases, wearing whatever she likes. That IS feminism. No one should have the feminism card revoked because some idiots don't…

Truthhhhh. Not a humblebrag, but people said this about me and my ex (a scrawny Indian-American guy) and it pissed me off to no end. It's fucking rude at best and racist at worst. Asian men aren't supposed to get the girl, you know.

Re: Dev Patel (who is absolutely an attractive person), I'm tired of the whole "she's too god for him" thing. It's no better than the reverse. See also: Amal Clooney, Emma Watson, Rihanna, etc. ad infinitum. All perfectly lovely women, but why does it have to be a contest? If they see something in George, Harry, Leo,…

Sometimes Twitter IS perfection.

Yeah. The biggest thing that sticks in my craw about that last statement is that it seems to imply that, you know, Gay and PoC have won their fight. Which they haven't. Not by a long shot.

Though, now that I think about it she didn't mention anything about transgenders, so, being a transgender woman, I guess that…

Actually, the never-ending string of 20 year-old models whom my middle-aged son keeps bringing home would probably worry me more than a grown woman who has been extremely successful in her career.

*White Feminists only refers to feminists who follow their special snowflake brand of white feminism

For those that don't know, normally, it is the men that carry the coffin(s) and they are also closest to the coffin, so for these women to do so, is a major act of defiance and protest.

this was one of my favorite things about this horrible situation.

Also, according to some media sources, when the Imam told women to step back, hundreds of them went and carried her coffin, and led the funeral prayer themselves.

My job did this a few years ago. It's a federal government office. On the menu was "chitterlings and maw" and something called "Hopping John." Yes, this was all planned by non-Blacks.

This has to be about the tenth time I've heard of such an incident.
