Power dynamic isn’t required. Period. Prejudice is a requirement. Period. Your definition may be accepted by a small minority with an agenda, but it hasn’t made it into primary dictionaries of the English language. Go check Oxford and Merriam-Webster. Power dynamics isn’t part of the definition.

Are you saying Irish are a race unto themselves, separate from other caucasians?

This is the most racist thing I”ve seen on TV for 10 years, but it has nothing to do with colour. How is it nobody has noticed how awfully Irish people are stereotyped? They are small, sweet, but ignorant, dirty folk far less evolved than the upper class blonde Anglo elves. Learn some history FFS!

So, I’m confused. Where exactly does Tolkien equate dark skin with evil? The only description you provide of an evil creature (orcs) in Tolkien’s stories is “sallow-skinned.” You do know that ‘sallow’ is “greyish greenish yellow that is paler than the color hay?” Perhaps you are confused with the portrayal of Uruk-hai…

Good point. What's good for the goose is good for the gander. 

And just to even the playing field, all students (and board members) who want to use the bathrooms should have to file similar paperwork.

If the MAGAts can find sham doctors and clergy to sign releases for them to not have to take the COVID vaccine, which would help society at large and not just themselves, then these kids should have equal access to whomever the fuck they need to in order to sign a letter that just says “this kid’s legit, now kindly…

I agree the policy is uncalled for; hair styles should be entirely up to the person from whose head it grows, outside of the military and for safety. However, this is a private school, and they have the right to set their policies as they wish as long as they don't contravene law.

There was a time when The Root would’ve examined that this was all Black officers repeatedly telling a 5 year old he that deserves a beating, that he should get his ass whooped. Officers talking between themselves that the problem was that this 5 year old hasn’t gotten his ass beat enough by his mom or uncles.

Uh, all the officers involved were Black. And saying shit like, this is what happens when you don’t beat your kids. Did you even watch it? Not seeing where the racism is coming from in this case. The only person trying to be sympathetic to the child was a white woman, in this situation.

I think I remember that from law school...

Are you aware that Nadler, Maloney and Goldman’s seats all come with the right to veto any SCOTUS decisions they think are bad but only if they pass a basic competency test on female anatomy and pharmacological issues related to gestation?

Most people don’t understand how Plan B works, but they understand that it makes you not be pregnant, and that’s all they need to know.

LOL. Please tell me you changed your username just to try to win an argument on Kinja.

Thank you. We women must stick together.

you’re probably better off not wasting your time with a “no I’m not/yes you are” debate of this nature with a troll *who’s calling you the troll* LOL. Go be a grad student, it’s a better use of your time.

People can be highly educated in one area, and know jack shit about another.

Yes I am.  I’m a grad student.

I’m from Iowa. Lots of sexually active women here rely on traditional methods such as rubbers and self-discipline and what not.  It takes a while for modern drugs to filter into the public awareness in Iowa.

Neither do some of the folks writing articles around here.
