When you want to leave the plantation but you’re outta cash. Good lord when will this end?

FWIW, I thought this movie was only okay, but I think Bong Joon-ho’s movies are a bit overrated, even if this was his best. I thought Snowpiercer was pretty heavy-handed and Okja was actively bad - like “fall asleep” bad. In Parasite’s defense, I have to say some of the acting, particularly by the father, was pretty…

Lol NO. First of all, that dude is not particularly old. It’s more plausible that’s he’s a racist asshole.

Yes of course it was Alzheimer. I was wondering what excuse a white person who come up with to explain this behavior. Because this man can’t just be a plain old racist, am I right? If you are a black/brown person making excuses for this man, then you need to get your thought processes rechecked. White supermacy…

hold Black men and others accountable and not participate in it

We are easy targets because no one protects us. Its quite simple. But this has been going on for centuries and twitter just makes it more blatantly obvious and public. Ijueo Olujo has received so many racist death threats and now they know where she lives and target her and her family. Who can forget the Black…

EMOTIONAL SUPPORT ANIMALS ARE NOT SERVICE ANIMALS AND ARE NOT PROTECTED BY THE ADA.

Biden is just like my parents, who are 70. They were radicals in the late 60s and 70s, but now they come off as tone deaf at best on a lot of issues. Time to retire, Joe.

Again, I have to reiterate that America’s racism isn’t primarily old people.

What shift? Black women have always been sexually harassed in the workplace. From plantations to corporate offices and everywhere in between, we have been relentlessly harassed. 

“I gotta give it up to Kim for using her tremendous wealth and influence to address criminal justice reform as aggressively as she has. As often as we ask more of celebrities, she’s low key been killing it for a minute now”

I’m so glad someone else made this point. It’s not on the Democratic Party to provide security for a MoveOn.org event.

Frankly, the world of beauty products has sped past Sephora and left them behind. I find that I have to shop at a combination of places (Sephora, Ulta, Dermstore) to get the hard to find products for my hair and skin shades. (Yes, girl you know I mean plural shades.) When I shopped at my local Sephora, those little…

Yeah, I think every parent wants their kids’ lives to go as smoothly as possible and with an LGBTQIA child, you know they’re going to face some shit. That, coupled with Blackness, is hard. One of my best friends is Black, gay, and from the South and he came out to his parents in high school, and they had that fear.…

a) Jess is 27 years old. Sorry, but at this age you should already know that racism, xenophobia and parroting white supremacists talking points is not a good look.

The only people I know who have ever intervened are women. Men will pretend that “protecting the women” is part of their masculinity trip but really most of them are cowards.

You tagged this “Los Angeles” rather than merely “Assholery in modern urban life” so I offer an anecdotal counterpoint. Onlookers in Los Angeles can also be very good Samaritans!

The Thin Blue Line Act essentially makes police officers a protected class—similar to minorities, LGBTQ people or women.

As someone from a family full of teachers an enormous part of the problem is not just financial but structural. I’ve had two siblings quit teaching jobs in the last few years; both times it was 100% for administrative purposes and not financial.

The sense of entitlement we have over teachers is astounding, and almost a perfect mirror of an abusive relationship: “What do you mean you’re leaving because I treat you badly?? I’ve treated you badly for DECADES! That’s our THING! How can you change the rules on me?”
