And on television, as in life, it is almost never the ones you’d want to see.

The first paragraph, sounds like any kind of American woman. Working your ass off and watching bad reality tv is not at all culturally specific or significant.

Mayonnaise on everything and subjugating brown people.

This is precisely why I gave up straightening my naturally 4C hair. EVERYTHING made my hair break off. If I used the “lite” perm, there were no actual changes to my hair structure. “Regular” or “Bone Straight” would effectively straighten my hair, but would also weaken it to the point of falling out. Wash and…

“What’s the problem? I was told to stand here, and wear this hat and jack..... oh shit.”

does anybodys life really matter. Are lives are a meaningless specks in the vastness of the space, here for a less then a second compared to the age of the universe ; we will all die and it will be like we were never here . Nothing we do matters, our lives don’t matter. Happy holidays everybody.

There was no problem with the black vote. People of color vote if their voting rights haven’t been disenfranchised. White women turned out for Trump. Fifty-two percent of women over 45, as a matter of fact.

I think w was a terrible president but I don’t think he was a bad man. I think he was a rich, party boy way over his head surrounded by the axis of evil. If he owned like a car dealership I could see him bringing his employees doughnuts on Fridays. Donald is a fundamentally bad person. I seriously don’t think he was…

Because W. was ignorant and low class but he wasn’t malicious. I’d think most people could tolerate that arrangement because evil is a whole other thing. Trump is all of the above.

Yes, that is what I take from your post. Deploying words like “barbaric” and “beasts” is taking a page straight from the old imperialism handbook. While in your country “those” disgusting rituals are banned, many others are not, and indeed are widely and openly practiced. Certainly there’s an important discussion…

Whoa. The racism/ethnocentrism is really unnecessary. We (I assume you’re American, though no countries are exempt). We participate in a vast number of practices seen from the outside as “barbaric.” Generally people are terrible but pretending we don’t have our own disgusting and dangerous customs is dangerously naive.

Of course there’s a difference between a luxurious “period spa”—where women could come and go at will and be fed well—and the culturally enforced chhaupadi that don’t look big enough to stand in.

How did a copy/pasted email exchange between 2 other people involve any bias on the part of Rich?

Nope, reclining. If it’s an option...I’m using it. They can stop installing it in seats when we lose the privilege of reclining 1°.

When did it become NOT okay to recline your seat, I fly all the time and recline away - particularly on red-eyes or international- be it coach, economy plus or business. I have never heard of this please explain.

I have the feeling though your reason is less about dating a Prince than her’s is.

I love candle drama.

I think that Shirtless was trying make a play on ‘Jews don’t celebrate Christmas because they are Jewish’ but it came across more like ‘Yeah, I voted for Trump, why do you ask?’. I don’t think Shirtless ment it that way though, this is just another example of ‘they can’t all be funny’ or ‘that sounded much better in…
