Totally understandable. I had a Rican co-worker who was married to a Black man...that would literally fist fight you if you suggested that Puerto Ricans have Black ancestry. That was quite the confusing conundrum for me so I’d just always wondered why the Black hate was so strong.

They out here doing the work. Definitely have my respect and financial backing, I’m Googleing the Texas chapters.

My intention was never to generalize.

Yeah, I didn’t find out that was an option until after I gave birth. Bummer.

I’m literally in tears. That was deep. Such a hard life, small victory, then death.

I’m literally holding back tears. Tears for myself and tears for us, as a people. This takes me back to when I gave birth to my child. They attempted an epidural on me THREE times and it just would.not.go. The doctor must’ve REALLY wanted to demonstrate an epidural to his student that night because he was about to…

LMFAO....I sure hate that, too. I think that was the reason my college roommate felt the need to have a sit down the first time I met her and explain her sexual preferences. My response: “OK? So which side of the room did you want?”

They only did that to drive home the seriousness of the charges against him. Lol. If it were something positive they’d have called him irrelevant.

This is probably an area I just need to do a lot more research on to try to have a better understanding. My brain just does NOT get it. I need to read more on the history of the islands etc.

I’m starting to feel like the more these types of stories go viral and get national attention the more people actually do this type of shit on purpose. No way a “teacher” thought this was a good question to ask. Ask them to debate about something on their 4th grade level...not on the “good reasons” people were…

Sounds like it’s just one of those ultra trendy, millennial targeted renames for something that already has a fully functioning name. LOL.

That is one thing I have NEVER understood with PR’s. Forgive me but as an African American woman who visited PR on vacation, it diminished my understanding even more. The island of PR is VERY poor and the countryside we visited was basically a third world country through tourist eyes. I know not ALL PR’s live in…

I HAD to. Lol

You forgot to add yourself...for unleashing this unnecessary foolery into our lives on today.

“people feel very specific ways about fat women and how fat women should and should not dress. What we should and should not wear.”

She actually said that? Why am I not surprised?

Never forget the Alabama Leprechaun LMFAO

I’m exactly the opposite. We always had huge Christmas celebrations growing up. Now I’m a (single) adult with one child in a family with basically no other kids for 2 generations. My daughter and I can barely be bothered to put up our 2 inch pre-lit tree. I assume once I get married and have a family etc, maybe my…

Damn, that sucks. I don’t think people (myself included) acknowledge the fact that men get stuck on the shit end of relationships sometimes too. BTW I’m 27 and have only been in one serious relationship. All my other involvements have been total disasters that ended with the other person finding their “forever person”…

Wow, just wow. Funny how they banned The New Jim Crow...now this. Definitely slavery all over again. Books have the power to set the mind free. The penal system knows that, so I wonder (not really) why they’d want to suppress and limit that ability by such an extreme margin.
