Or how betrayed she would feel that her own father, a person who is supposed to love and protect her, would become a bully too? She must have felt like absolutely no one would support and protect her. How terribly sad.

If she was being bullied at school, it makes it so much worse that her own father would do this to her. Did it never occur to him that those same bullies would see this and use it against her? WTF!

The best part about the comments section here are the well-intentioned folks that just get eviscerated by people looking to be outraged. You don't have to look, outraged people! There is plenty to be angry about; stop taking it out on people who mean well (even if meaning well isn't quite good enough).

Your assumption here is a problem. You assume that the commenter is looking for a prize. They aren't. They are saying they don't need to apologize for sympathy and empathy which is offered without reward to all walks of life. That the automatic assumption (on your part, it would seem) that they are saying these…

Your essay makes me uncomfortable. I honestly don't know how to help or be an ally. I work with kids in the family court system, either through abuse/neglect or juvenile delinquency/incorrigability. I want to fight for these kids, the majority of whom are POC. How do we do that without becoming a "good white person"?…

"Good white people" demonstrate the qualities that all good people demonstrate: kindness, empathy, compassion, thoughtfulness, unconditional love. These are the values I try to instill in my students; that parents try to instill in their children.

Worst Family? Oh, we do beg to differ...

No. Because those of us the look at everything on our phones get it in full screen even when it is in portrait mode. I love it. I will continue videoing everything in portrait mode, and you can't stop me.

Drunk Mario wins; the dog is a close second.

Tweens are the best.

You do realize you're talking to someone who just accused a bunch of people of being White Supremacists for not having seen The Color Purple, right?

If you watch the video you can see him arrive and move about the house in the background.

Yes he was making a joke. You are either dense or really bad at sarcasm.

Umm I don't think the fact that there was a black man at the party who made a one line joke about periods qualifies as "magical negro"

Nah, it's pretty funny. I imagine the effect is somewhat lost in text.

I think he was trying to distract her with humor, vis a via making it all about him instead.

For real, all she needs is a chancleta and this would be my mom after I missed curfew.

Little known fact: Every woman, when she is on her period, does this every. single. month. Exactly this.

It's not the inspirational quotes I would find interesting but more the personality they tend to reveal about the person. Since all of these fake quotes exist, there have to be some real ones that were worth quoting which tell us about the real Einstein.
