To be fair, his point was that people were upset about Black representation at the oscars when they should be more concerned about other things (ostensibly police aggression toward blacks, institutional racism etc).

I’ve stopped watching all news shows because it’s all Trump all the time. If there was some balanced discussions; he makes one of his statements, and it’s followed by an educated person explaining why he’s full of sh*t, that would be different. But the way it is now, he’s treated like his drivels are pearls of wisdom.

I didn’t even know it was an election year, to be honest.

What? people like to stick their nose into women’s reproductive choices? THE NERVE.

I totally agree and not just because I was raised in NYC ;)

Waiting for this to be added to the menu.

NYC Hotdogs sold by the person with the umbrella cart are the best Hotdogs in the world. You will never get that taste at home. They pop like sausages when you bite into them. So good!

I AM AFRAID YOU ARE WRONG THE COSMIC WILL OF THE STARS MAKE IT SO!

It’s a little more than “not exactly what happened.”

“You have to give death a chance”? That’s so metal.

Holy hell! The “haaappppy biiiirthday” and clapping made me want to vomit. Treating the elderly like they are children is the ultimate disrespect.

My husband’s grandmother at her 100th birthday party (attended by the city mayor): “I don’t let them give me flu shots. You have to give death a chance.”

It’s her disapproving, “They won’t stay” that got me. It’s like a metaphor to her, I think—you can tell by her expression that phrase was about something far deeper than the observation that the flowers would probably fall from her lap.

“Get that mic out of my fucking face. Take the g-damned flowers off my lap. I’m going to wipe that stupid smile off your stupid fucking face. And if you talk to me like I’m a 3 year old for another second, I may see 111 but you won’t see tomorrow”

Is she goat worthy?

A better question is, “You just found out your true love has been fucking a goat every three months. Are they still your true love?”

...gets captured and tied up and the boy doll makes out with her against her will.. until suddenly she likes it.

I think Laura Bush advocated for literacy (she saw the tragedy close up with W I guess). But I’m pretty sure Barbara was too busy instilling self-hatred and paranoia in her children to do anything else.

Truthfully, I think the majority of the sexual and romantic attention I get abroad is because of the stereotypes and perceptions of what an American woman/a Black woman/a Black American woman will “do”, generally, and especially while on vacation

This article made me a bit uncomfortable because it ignores or at least neglects to mention that anti-Black racism and colorism happen all over the world. It is absolutely not just an American thing.
