You asked questions. I answered them. You're not a Devil's Advocate - you're an asshole plying for a sense of importance built off of the meaningful contributions of people with more patience for you than you appear to warrant. I just wanted that firmly on record.

The PC police? God, latent bigots are cute.

Criticism has a higher obligation than praise. Praise can be overstated, but even mild criticism (especialluy your ignorant-ass criticism) can have a chilling effect on the artist and their fans. And you don't get to decide if you're a homophobe, either. You clearly have a limited perspective if you equate solo male…

I'm gonna go with 4.

Yes. Yes. Yes, you are shallow. No one gives a shit what you consider a good personality, or good looks for that matter. It's ok, you're just a homophobic and sexist asshole.

You aren't wrong, but I still find that self-imposed segregation to be bothersome. Not in its membership - colorism and black classism aside - but in the idea that we are or should only be visible and open with black people.

What a roundabout way to circumvent the point. What you're saying is that due to the racialized social stigma, they further internalize their bad behavior and are better at keeping it quiet? Behavior which we, as black people, turn a blind eye to for the same reason.

Oh, I know. I'm just saying they shouldn't have to

The problem is that these orgs are not allowed to be themselves in public without that behavior being judged along a racial line. "White" greeks? Can be both jerks and noble. A black frat/sorority doing the exact same thing? Is a discredit to black people everywhere.

You seem to be very confused about a) how norms change, and b) that we don't owe Japan a purchase of their products or a tolerance of their social shortcomings. Bigotry is not exempt from criticism, no matter its history. Protip: If "waiting" is ever part of your statement as a "supporter" of basic human rights?…

Yeah. You really, really are. Not in your point, but in its...perspective and context. When people built entire societies off of racial assumptions, it makes it difficult to get by. When people make assumptions about how safe, trustworthy, employable, or shoot-to-death-able you are, you tend to grow sensitive to those…

Everyone? No. Enough people to be worth reaching out to? Definitely. And if a blanked expletive is your idea of vitriol, you must truly lead a charmed and kitten-filled life... P.S: This is called tone policing, and is generally used when you have no useful point to make.

Glad to see the idea's already been imprinted. And trust me - those weren't claws. When you come off as offensive, condescending, and egotistical? It's no insult to point it out.

They're not. I believe you should take that up with the yearbook committee. "Other things are also important!" is a pointless, distracting argument. It says nothing of value.

Lucky f—-ing you. Not everyone has the same experiences, opportunities, role models, or luck.

And you know how students learn that? By exposure. By engaging with teen parents and hearing stories that relate to them - not just ominous warnings and TV testimonials. You want to cut down on teen pregnancy? Let kids see a day in that life with a life they knew.

Those girls were morons - there will always BE morons. For every one of them, there are far more young men and women who could use the encouragement instead of being hidden away or given a scarlet letter. You want things to improve? We need to stop ostracizing teen pregnancy - it only leads to more of them as the same…

And once it's made, we should lock them in a shame box for the rest of their lives? No.

A yearbook captures the essence of a graduating class - they've always had random little featurettes, common moments, and other side crap (not to mention pages upon PAGES of ads). I see no problem here with celebrating that actually graduating with a teen pregnancy is an achievement. We should absolutely be promoting…

But it is an instructor's job to provide a meaningful syllabus. And "Baby you through life" is a hell of a thing to say to someone dealing with actual trauma. This is not an onerous requirement. If HBO can tell you about adult content, a professor ought to manage. They're taking a lot more of the student's money. I…
