This is the only remake I will accept!

I can see identifying Usopp as of African-descent or Middle-Eastern, but just saying “Africa” feels so fucking lazy it’s exhausting. Since there is an overlap between “African/Middle Eastern,” it’s possible that Oda meant North African specifically, but C’MON. Be specific.

Hot ladies get specific countries. Vaguely “ethnic” men get “Africa!” Jambo or whatever, amiright?

IS THAT BIJOU PHILLIPS?

Hazel Bryan, the woman pictured screaming and practically growling at Elizabeth Eckford, realized she was on the wrong side of history about ten years after she showed herself to be a vile racist. She spent a significant amount of her life basically attempting to make up for it, but she still had the gall to be…

She definitely was, to a point, probably because she was a major wild child as a teen. The only ever thing she told me about partying/drinking or drugs that was a bald-faced lie was when she insisted that she had never done cocaine. Like, Mom, you were a teenager in the mid-eighties. C’mon.

This was my mom. Also whenever I started going out as a teenager, she’d stand at the door and wave as I climbed into my friend’s car, shouting, “Don’t get pregnant! Make good choices! Love you! xoxoxox!”

I remember being taught that a lot of slave owners’ Christianity was based on a rewritten Bible that specifically justified slavery—I know that is very likely untrue in that they had no need to actually rewrite the Bible, since they mandated illiteracy as a subjugation tool, but you’re exactly right about religion…

Yes! Like my grandpa/father/etc just DIED. Don’t fucking try to indoctrinate me with your nonsense when I AM CLEARLY GRIEVING.

EXACTLY. Unrelated to the story I used in my example (which is true and fresh, happened a little over a week ago to be exact), but one of my grandfathers’ funerals had the exact same problem. Native man who had no end of life plan, and his funeral ended up being a blonde, blue eyed priest in moccasins talking about…

Do this! My sister literally texted me during the memorial (couldn’t attend b/c flights are expensive): If you let someone do this to my memorial, I will haunt you until you die. Tell your family what you want!

Number 2 on your list is strikingly common. My sister attended the memorial for a dear family friend who was like a father to us, and his ex-wife’s church completely took over the ceremony. There was nothing about his life, only long lectures about how he “got right with God at the end” and how happy they all were…

Unless they plan to show me a Weekend At Bernie’s-esque time, they better well fucking cremate me.

I wish it would’ve been this song. It’s definitely the one I heard in my head.

Hating Chris Brown is fine, but continuously using him as the face of famous domestic violence has gotten real old and smacks of racist double-standards.

Didn’t Dweezil’s sisters essentially rename themselves? Dweezil is the only one who is directly benefiting from/promoting/ continuing the Zappa legacy, IIRC

With the number of paternity claims he’s facing/has faced (and lost), this guy is FAR from snowblowing.

Sexual Assault and Violence Intervention program.

I am probably wrong, but I thought all of his stuff went through the Hallmark Channel. I sincerely hope that a Growing Pains special is coming, but it might also be because Tracey Gold has worked with Lifetime on a few different movies.
