There's a saying that hard work beats talent when talent doesn't work hard. A LOT of people can run fast, but not a lot of people have the will power, fortitude, and dedication to reach their highest potential. That's something to look up to and apply to your life whether you can run fast or not.

Even when a black girl’s hair looks silky straight, 9 times out of 10 there’s texture to it. Sweating out those edges will give that band something to hold on to.

Somehow any discussion of porn revolves around the idea that only men and boys watch it because women just don’t do that sort of thing. Porn for us is supposed to be hot men cradling babies while vacuuming, remember?

It’s silly to say someone is raised on porn- no one is “raised on porn”.

They should make all Olympians watch a season of Locked Up Abroad before they travel.

Also wanting to be more candid with his statements but also more careful. The two seem incompatible.

America has already shown Rio 4 of our lily white asses, that's how this mess started.

And the fact that- once again- I DONT THINK THAT BEING A GOLD DIGGER IS BAD, means that me assuming that isn't even a judgement call on her. You’re thinking that I’m judging her about it and it doesn’t make a shit lick of difference to me. That’s YOUR assumption and that, once again, is based in judging women harshly…

I think she got married for the gold but divorced because he beat her up. Things take a turn and circumstances change. Besides, if the reports that she’s dating Elon Musk are true, she’s moved on to better things and can afford to take the hit for good PR and to not have to constantly be reminded of her abuse whenever…

I still think she’s s gold digger, but I also 100% believe Depp abused her and that being a gold digger doesn’t mean you deserve to be hit. Being a gold digger gets a bad wrap, but it’s just honest and pragmatic, and money isn't the worst reason in the world to get hitched.

There’s room to think she’s a gold digger and an abuse victim. One doesn’t keep you from being the other, and her being a possible gold digger doesn't mean it's ok to hit her either.

He's had phases, but when he kind of settled down with Vanessa Paradis it kind of faded from public view. Then when he first hooked up with Amber and left Vanessa people started to acknowledge that he was gross, and this is probably the defining moment of grossness.

No and Iman only posted one photo of her on her birthday.

It's not that they didn't win- they were 15 minutes off their best time. If they were going to go and not even come close to their personal best, then other, hungrier athletes could've had their place.

Nope. She's just another in the line of nepotism models, who are pretty but don't have IT.

And we it owe it all to the last season of Orange Is the New Black!

I think it’s fucked up that with all the horrible stories people were putting out there about Rio pre-Olympics, these American guys told a lie that plays into all the horror stories because it would be easily be believed. Brazilian officials are right not to let their country be slandered.

But Maya Angelou told me I Rise...

She should leave it in. It’s a memoir, it’s what she thought and believed and said, and erasing that is untruthful. If she’s changed, great, then expand on your memoir and write more about who you are now, don't go back and sanitize your actual lived past.

Our justice system actually is supposed to be the reverse- innocent until proven guilty.
