And for specifically hispanic/latino immigrants, a lot of them are white by the standards of the place they grew up in.

The only problem with your comment is that I can only give you a single star

This. As of right now, 67 MILLION Americans looked at that lying orange piece of crap and said “That’s my guy.” No matter how this shitshow ends, we all have to live with knowing how many awful people can’t be bothered to worry about anyone but themselves.

What we learned is that many White people lied. We have learned that many Americans, our neighbors, our cousins, our friends, so called “allies”, “suburban moms”, “moderates”, “independents” are lying cowards who lie to gullible pollsters. The dishonesty and the cowardice is very much on brand for those that don’t have…

I give her props for using her noggin to get ahead

Man, why you gotta fuck with mac & cheese? It’s perfect and beautiful as is and it loves you so much. It’s always there for you. Always. But no....you gotta get all fancy and throw weird shit it it that doesn’t belong. Mac & cheese is disappointed in you...but will never turn its back on you. You remember that next…

Last year we had a potluck at work and a co-worker brought in chili with raisins and pepitas. I feel the same way about Drake’s mac ‘n’ cheese as I did about that co-worker’s chili: what the fuck was even happening there?

It’s a debacle because at this point, everything that has happened this year has been, thank you. 

I’m an LXA alum from a different chapter. These guys can fuck right off, and I personally would have kicked their asses out of the chapter when I was active ten plus years ago if they had said it then. I’m not going to pretend we were a bastion of tolerance and understanding back then, but there was a line and these…

Absolutely! Thank you for pointing this out! 

It definitely puts Beyonce’s professional use of her name in a new light. Like, “No, motherfuckers, it’s Beyonce.”

And a birth certificate is the first step to official identification documents, including photo IDs. The Spread the Vote organization is really meeting a need.

I always wondered about that!

According to wikipedia, it was Orpah on her birth certificate, but people mispronounced it all the time, and so it stuck. Of course wiki is often wrong too...

And I did not know that... thank you! 

Oprah was supposed to be named after the biblical Orpah. They misspelled it on her birth certificate.

It was a hard read! Only reason I read it was boredom; normally I don’t follow anything Beyonce related. And then I was like way to bury the damn lede! My family has hellish Eastern Euro names that were all changed when they came off the boat, so I’m used to seeing people not care about the spellings. But that they…

I just read that aloud to my young adult son, and we both cried after talking about what all that really means— Black people not being issued a birth certificate by a state government official (or not being allowed to contest a clerical error on one, in her mom’s case) is the equivalent of saying that no, you don’t…

Thank you for this.

That “fun fact” about Tina Knowles in not fun at all! She and her own siblings have different last names because racists couldn’t be bothered to spell their names correctly, or even give black people birth certificates? Not fun at all.
