I know they do. And it tears me up inside (as a white person with long straight hair). I used to teach in a school where I was one of three white people and the way the girls reacted to my hair made me so sad. The way they would pet it and talk about wishing they had 'good' hair... I wanted to rip it off my head…

It sickens me the way that society still acts like it owns black bodies.

I am so angry about this. I just ... I want to get her the biggest card and the softest stuffed animal and get the whole Internet to sign it, saying that she's beautiful and perfect exactly as she is.

I love the monkey sphere, go David Wong!

Really? You only care about you and yours? How incredibly sad. I'm sorry that you haven't experienced much love and kindness in you life.

But business used to pay a living wage before we deregulated everything. Unskilled labor used to feed a family while factory work was comfortably middle class. It's just not ok for people to be treated this way. We're all human beings and need to care for eachother. If we don't, we just won't make it as a country or a…

That, right there. The word deserve. People supporting a living wage think any person who gives a day of honest labor deserves to be paid enough for a roof over their head, healthy food, and medical care. Every human being deserves that. It does not matter if it is skilled or unskilled because it is the labor that…

May I ask, are you white?

Because racists are bad people and she doesn't want to think of herself as a bad person, ergo she can't be racist. In her horrible head.

My fourth grade class put Howliday Inn on as a play. I got to be Harold. It was awesome.

Every Wednesday for me ... when the housekeeper does it for me. Oh my god I am so ashamed.

Okay, I'm going to come at this as someone who had a nutty online emotional affair about 9 months into my marriage. So I guess I'm the dude in this story. Even though it was incredibly painful when my husband found out the extent of it it ended up being the absolute best thing that could have ever happened to us. It…

I think it would be entertaining as hell to just try and get correspondence with him and post that shit on the Powder Room. No need to be in his physical presence.

Yeah, this is why I give the wedding cake. I used to do it professionally and still enjoy it. It costs me $100 in ingredients and saves them $1,000-$2,000. Win win!

It is way worse being fat and tall. They do not make any pants anywhere when you are a size 22 and 6". Does. Not. Happen. At least you can tailor! Nah, really, we're in the same sucky boat. Let's average our height!

I will be so sad if you're just joshin'.

Psst. There are microwave mug blondies ... Go forth and Google in carb ecstasy.

Even though I'm a white lady and have had perfectly pleasant interactions with cops, it has gotten bad enough that I am actively terrified of cops. Their behavior as a whole has revieled most of them to be street thugs wrapped in blue.

I can see that. I worry, though, the way people who have not experienced being more than 50 pounds overweight often assume that people who are that heavy are so by choice. Study after study shows that almost no one in that situation can keep weight off. Who knows why, genetics, depression, but very few obese people…

The fact that the overwhelming majority of obese people cannot lose weight and keep it off indicates to me that it is actually very much out of their hands.
