Maybe instead of enforcing censorship, studios should enforce a standard of producing decent, well written shows. Then we wouldn't be subjected to this one and Two And A Half Men and that Seth Green show at all.

Yep. And even if you adopt children of your same ethnicity, you are still accused of trying to gain some sort of do-gooder "cred". People don't usually see adoption as a legitimate way to form a family, but as some sort of charity project with ulterior motives. It is exhausting.
As soon as a panelist sang "one of these things is not like the others", that was it. That was the line, right there. The subject of that sentence is the baby, the purpose of the sentence is to declare that baby somehow doesn't "fit" into his family.
They're having a "hard time with the concept" because you are attempting to use a real child as an aggregate representation, and then claiming that there's no harm done to that representational child. But if this child was in your family, the so-called value of this national conversation is complete and utter…
It's not about MITT ROMNEY. It's about a son and his wife...who the public know little about.
Because we know what their father supported...and they supported their father publically. That's insane logic. They can be different and still support their father the two are not mutually tied. The point is, again, that you know nothing about the family dynamic nor the adoption circumstances. You are judging a family…
Oh honey, you're so sad. Where did I say you were making fun of the baby? I said you should stop the judgement of an adoptive family until you know their personal circumstances and/or motives. Which in this case, you don't. I guess obtuse is me blatantly saying it in each post...I actually have no problem with MHP…
You can separate the actions and thoughts of a child from his/her parents. A lot of families have crap in them (adoptive or not). You're making inferences about a family dynamic that the public knows nothing about.
This is late and will remain unseen in the grays, but, as a transracial adoptee, I found the original incident to be hurtful. Like most racism, it wasn't because of anyone's intention, but a lifetime of always being made to feel like I don't belong in my family, by people who knew nothing about us. I believe that…
As a brown girl, surrounded by an all white family myself, I honestly thought the response by the panellist, "One of these things is not like the other" was a little crass ... I kinda winced because I know what that feels like. I still don't get what they hoped to achieve with the segment????
Wow...i knew people loved their Beyonce, but I'm still pretty surprised to see people actually waving this off like it's nothing. It's actual real audio of people dying whose family members are still alive and will always grieve their loss. Seriously? Wtf is not to get here?
I hope you're never in a horrible tragic accident that gets recorded and some pop singer uses as a background track for some song that will be forgotten about in a month. That is what the families of those who died doing something a lot more daring and heroic than Queen B has ever done. These people risked their lives…
I do so love the "well, I'm not offended so you shouldn't be either" arguments. The clip is random and completely unnecessary. The song lyrics should speak for themselves, without reminding some people of the absolute worst day of their lives to sell an album.
Lindy, I think you mean Commander Scobee's *widow*
Man, I can't wait until we're done with Beyonce and are instead talking about how much we hate Gwyneth and Macklemore again.
Seriously. How does one go about writing for Jezebel? I can sneeze more substance than this.
Yeah—I was raised by a Cuban mom who didn't "believe" in sleepovers, so I could never go to any. (Also an awful incident happened to my older sister when staying at a cousin by marriage's house long before I was born, so that changed my parents feelings on ever staying anywhere besides home.) I was allowed to have my…
This would have been great for my kiddo before I adopted her. Foster children have restrictions that basically eliminate sleep overs. A couple of times when she mentioned a sleepover, we talked about using "having to go somewhere early" as an excuse to stay til 1op or 11p but not overnight. I hosted one sleepover and…
