Target is a really great example of this. They knew they couldn’t compete with Wal-Mart, so they said screw it, decided to appeal to the suburban mom demographic, and it paid off handsomely.

Setting The Record Straight: IRISH: THE FORGOTTEN WHITE SLAVES

you have to ponder how much vetting the producers did here.

Totally agree. I can have my Fitbit on while shoveling snow, for example. It is WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY off on my effort. For the record, i clip my Fitbit to my waist, so it’s not recording all the arm movements. But, i am confident it does track my steps AOK.

Yeah, like...if I’m going to break protocol, I’m going for an elbow, pinioning arms, etc., before I go for a gun.

He is also planing on making people on SSDI work for their disability payments. Think about that, you have to be unable to work to qualify. They say you now have to work to get it, they then say, see, you can work, you never needed it in the first place. They are also going to slash the amount the disabled receive,…

Isn’t it weird how “pro-life” leaders work so hard to increase the abortion rate? It’s almost like their commitment to pro-life policies only extends to passing laws regulating what women can do with their bodies, and not to actually reducing the number of abortions (let alone supporting non-fetal life).

The type of people who called her ugly before are the same type who make fun of her now. Some people are delusional when it comes to beauty and it makes them cruel to anyone they find unattractive. They have totally unrealistic expectations. Those are the people you have to kick into the ditch and leave behind. I wish…

That’s heavy.

Old timey girl names are just odd to me. Pearl, Gertrude, Bertha, etc, sounds like she’s bound to grow up eating pimento loaf sandwhichs and drinking buttermilk.

The Guardian reports that Police Chief Calvin Williams stated Loehmann was not fired over Rice’s death, but because of “inaccurate details on his job application.”

I was a nerdy,chubby Black girl with a jheri girl. I didn’t need this adding on to the pile.

In a family of non-specific names where you couldn’t tell if we were Black or not, my Mother decided to give me a very typical sounding Black name with an atypical way of spelling it.

Interesting. As someone who works in addictions, I have seen first-hand the adverse effects of prescription medication. When mixed with other medications, and of course depending on what is prescribed, it can have an even more serious effects than alcohol and can cause behaviors similar to being drunk. I wonder what…

I can’t speak to the black experience, obviously, but the honky convention of weird-ass spelling pisses me off to a degree.

First, yes, this is blackface. Tired of seeing people flip themselves inside out to try to say it’s something else.

If you want to celebrate another woman’s culture, go buy some Toni Morrison novels, listen to Nina Simone, check out Viola Davis snot crying on TGIT, watch Serena Williams beat the brakes offa somebody....

They are not ashamed of the way they feel and it’s evident whenever you point a phone in their face and their prejudices are echoed with an even louder volume.

Baltimore isn’t the capital of Maryland. And we have no money, so it seems fair to sell the statues. Would be great to sell them for scrap metal, but we would probably get more money at auction.
