    My best friend is mixed race and was adopted by a white family. As a baby she looked ‘a little Hispanic’ until three or four when it became clear she had black ancestry somewhere down the line. It was a weird church related adoption so her parents never quite knew what her background was. She was still uncertain until

    We went nuts with uniforms...short skirts, tight pants, oxfords tied at the midriff, knee socks and rolled down ‘thigh highs’, cardigan sweaters with lacy bra or camisole underneath. Basically the sluttiest of school girls.

    Don't most body types have visible collarbones?

    I think a lot of people get dogs because they *think* they’re ‘dog people’ yet have no clue or inclination to put in the work a dog needs. Especially a big dog. People like the idea of having a dog because they think it’s what good active people would do or they expect constant love and attention. It’s not about the

    Honestly all blonde women on FOX look the same. I get mixed up too.

    Illuminati!!!!!

    I was pretty mad when I first read about them doing that to their cat but I also don’t like the idea of someone who is a shitty owner (or has concerns about being unable or unwilling to provide care) keeping an animal that they will emotionally neglect or resent.

    I was so shocked by her dating him. Didn't her mom kill her father during a beating? How could his past NOT be a huge issue for her?

    When I first read her story I thought the bow and arrow hunting was some weird stereotype about how ‘African’ she was and completely fabricated but the Washington Post did a piece on her (child molester) brother that discusses her fundamental Christian-off the grid sustainable childhood.

    I know this isn’t really the issue when discussing ‘black face’ but several of her hairstyles (aside from the box braids) are fairly common among women of many races. My aunt is one of the whitest women I’ve ever met and she had the exact same curls and style as Rachel’s ‘natural curl’ look...not to mention the

    But would a Rachel Dolezal costume really even require ‘blackface’? Wouldn’t it just be a medium level bronzer with a culturally appropriated hairstyle? She never looked particularly brown, more like the ruddy beige a pink toned white person gets after a nice vacation. It seems like it would almost defeat the purpose

    White chick here. Same fears.

    I don’t know if it’s just my husband and the men I seem to know but I think more guys are open to proposals than I used to think.

    I live in California (an especially expensive part) where home prices are pretty high, even for tiny homes. My husband and I watch a show on HGTV wherein a cute couple fix up homes in the Waco area. They do a great job and are charming and pretty entertaining to watch.

    I'm pretty nice. Humble too.

    ^^^ I think I love you.

    You probably shouldn’t be able to have a medical procedure (like abortion) done if you don’t understand it’s a ‘permanent’ process, but fuck. Fuck. I don’t want someone that DOESNT understand abortion is permanent having a baby either.

    It’s the new ‘I’m not racist but....’ If you have to constantly tell people that you're not racist, are a good friend, or a good driver you inevitably are NOT. You are probably a racist bad friend road terror.

    A girl I went to school with (strict catholic school) worked at the local theater during ‘The Passion’ and had similar qualms about children coming in. One mom screamed at her for not sitting with the child who ran out of the theater crying hysterically. She gave the kid a cup of water and let him play in the arcade

    That woman won’t go to eat by herself. She will spend all week complaining about how abusive her children are by forcing her to go hungry, but she certainly won’t sit at a restaurant by herself.
