Zenna and Zaden. Zenna has lisp and calls her brother Satan. Zuzu should be in their family…:)

My blonde-hair, blue-eyed baby cousins are named Freedom and Madiba. That is all.

I met a British woman whose daughter was named London. I imagine it would be like living in the UK and meeting an American woman with a child named Philadelphia.

It's ok. All white trash names were favored by the one percent first and then trickled down to us plebs. At least something did.

Because rich Black people are truly a different type of Black person. Tbh, Kanye is probably the first Black person she's come into contact with that actually thinks about racism in any meaningful way.

She was all of, what, thirteen at the time? Fourteen? I wouldn't expect a kid to follow something like that, even if her father is involved.

I feel like Kim Kardashian could literally take a bullet for, say, a poor, starving child from a third world country, and the headlines would be "Kim Kardashian Selfishly Steals Bullet Meant for Small Child" or "Kim Kardashian Makes Attempted Murder of Small Child All About Her As She Bleeds to Death From Gunshot…

I really don't understand it. She just cannot win. I've never seen someone so hated for doing nothing bad to anyone. She may not be super-smart and eloquent or well-informed (how many people in Hollywood are?) but I know she's campaigned for awareness of the Armenian Genocide for years.

She didn't just discover that racism exists. She just realized that even though she's in a position of privilege that she can't shove prejudice to someone else and make it "their problem". She's taking up the fight to help her fellow humans. That's something most white people decide at one point or another. Usually…

I'm no fan of Kim, but I'm proud of her for admitting that she was ignorant about racism and discrimination. Whether she actually takes strides to make a difference will remain to be seen, but I can at least give her props for calling herself out on her own bullshit.

I have two White female friends (one a friend from college, another a work friend) both married to Black men. Their realization of what it means to be associated with Black men and Black people in the US of A has led them both to awakenings like KK's. Years into their relationships they are still jarred when they…

Sooooooooooooooo many people never recognize these things. She's wealthy, self-involved, and seemingly kinda vapid, but still managed to find some kind of awareness. I don't get how it's bad either.

I just can't get with this. If we're going to criticize people for seeing the light, why try to get them to see it in the first place?

Eh. She may be late to the party, but better late than never.

I think it's difficult for most people to admit their ignorance the way that Kim Kardashian has with regard to racism. I don't understand the instinct to mock someone for this. Thinking that these issues are everyone else's problem is not actually that uncommon, especially for this generation. So good for her for…

Can one feel conflicted about this video without wanting Emily Letts to feel guilty or ashamed or in pain? I'm struggling because I think abortion is a serious choice. It's not like brushing one's teeth (as one commenter on groupthink put it). It's a crossroads. Emily's behavior feels like her parents just caught…

It's a legal medical procedure that terminates a life. There is no dancing around that fact. I support my right to choose to abort. I do not support this silly attempt to equate having an abortion to flossing one's teeth or taking a crap. Choosing to abort a fetus is a very serious decision. The women I have…

INSUBORDINATE AND CHURLISH

Well, teachers are notorious for getting names wrong...

Years ago, I went on a trip with my dad to Acadia National Park. At some point, he decided to take a nap in the tent, and I went on a walk in the woods. It was peaceful and lovely, and I was feeling one with nature, so much so that when I happened upon two chipmunks fighting off the side of the trail, I stopped to…
