The hood really needs a PR agent. I tell people I’m from the hood and they either A) don’t believe me or B) think I converted to being a dork in prison.

lol yes god bless the future of every single person who reads this and immediately ricochets into "BUT WHAT ABOUT ME"

Did you even read this? Nobody is asking you to apologize. This isn't about you. The fact that you managed to be offended by this piece is a testament to just how much you don't get it.

Well throwaway twitter accounts are a form of burner accounts I'd say. Man, you guys REALLY like the burner account concept, despite the fact that it adds little to the conversations in the comments. What prevents a burner from doing the same thing?

Nope they won't. Americans need to stop deluding themselves into thinking the racial construct that was part and parcel of the nation's foundation is somehow, some way, one day, going to vanish. It won't go anywhere. Racism is as American as apple pie or baseball or drug addiction.

Yes. If you want to know whether we think of Blacks as Americans in the same was that we think of whites as American all you have to do is a simple thought experiment: Picture a man with a concealed weapon. Now picture him being white. Why does he have a concealed weapon? Because he's a gun-loving flag-waving…

And that Boston bomber survived. He was on the run, a known criminal killing and injuring hundreds yet he was not mown down in the streets. I wonder what would have happened if he was black. I wonder.

There are reasons why white gun's rights activists can walk into a Chipotle restaurant with assault rifles and be seen as gauche nuisances while unarmed black men are killed for reaching for their wallets or cell phones, or carrying children's toys.

David Simon, the creator of The Wire, often talks about how there are really two Americas—one economically viable and mostly white, the other economically hopeless and mostly black. In my experience, no place embodies this division more than St. Louis, where I've lived the past few years. You can drive north from a…

I was barely into my 20s when I found out my mother had spent time in a psychiatric prison for murder. I have now kept this secret for almost 20 years, and I have to say, keeping someone else's secret is much harder than keeping one of your own. With your own secret, you hold the power - when you feel like sharing,…

My uncle did this.

When I first met my wife, I was 21 and she told me she was 18. Three months later we celebrated her 19th birthday, and two years later I was making big plans for her 21st... and then she came clean. When we'd first met she was 17, but was turning 18 in three months, so she said she was 18 to keep me from worrying…

Ha! If you only knew the torture this man bestowed upon me (and his ex)... and interestingly, I think he honestly thought he was doing the right thing.. "I didn't want to hurt your feelings, but yes, I did go fuck her during my last visitation. I HAD TO in order to see my child!"

Maybe you're not good at math, but the spreadsheet lists 27 attempts over a 43-day period (6/3/2014 - 7/16/2014). That's just over once ever OTHER day. 3-4 times a week is pretty normal for a couple in their mid 20's.

Everybody has a demanding job. Everyone's tired when they get home. You have to make time for the things that are important, including sex. They don't just "happen".

The fact that you think attempting to initiate sex on a normal frequency is "pestering" speaks volumes about what kind of partner you are.
