I think a lot of adult conversations are the same ones we had as fourth-graders, just longer and more nuanced.

Um... oookay.

My understanding is that Joan was very big on supporting her family financially by any means necessary. I suspect Joan would be 100% ok with her daughter profiting off of her name.

I think Joan would say “go get ‘em, honey!” Joan was seriously all for making a buck whatever way possible...that's why she worked forever.

The comments here are going to turn into a shitstorm of epic proportions, so would anyone like to talk about the weather? Post puppy gifs? Has anyone bought any cool shoes recently?

Oh I will. Now if only he’d stop saying “cunt!” JK.

I had an internship at a zoo in undergrad, and there was a note left about me one time. I explained that horseshoe crabs were an ancient species and you could see their relatives, the trilobites, in fossils from the Cambrian period. The dad got all huffy and asked how I knew it was “millions of years”, and I responded…

The commenters on this thread. You are not Irish. You are not English. You are not Scottish. You are Americans of [whatever] descent. Which is a fine thing to be!

Yes because when many African Americans do it, they do it in a disrespectful manner with utter disregard for the Africans whose DAILY culture it is.

Suspicion to be thrown to Nigerians about WHAT? You get out of here with your bullshit.

Well yeah. Much of English nobility didn’t trace their lineage from the Gaelic tribes that inhabited those islands but the Saxons, Angles and Jutes (all Germanic tribes) that later invaded. So it isn’t surprising that they would enforce their culture and what they took from the locals over a straight up local…

Hmm a Jezebel post trying to make a racist issue over nothing and claiming white woman can’t even look at something from another culture for appreciation. Oh look it’s Kara Brown. Is there a way to just block a particular authors posts cause my eyes are getting really tired of rolling over here. Guess I need to stop…

UM NO! I don’t care whether you’re black or not, first off this whole idea of a youtube tutorial for traditional make up looks is just stupid. They are traditional for a reason... as they are for specific traditional events, not for some random American person to wear to the mall so they can feel exotic (again whether…

Considering how quick Jezebel is to talk about cultural appropriation at Burning Man/Coachella/SXSW, I would like to see a run down on attendees at Afropunk wearing bindis, feathers in their hair, etc. and an explanation why not/why it’s okay.

I cannot even with the mama Africa of black women.

Yeah, American blacks are so far removed from Africa there’s basically no difference between them and whites when it comes to African culture.

I do wish a black woman had done this but I think this chick handled the possibility of appropriation really well.

1. There is NO SUCH THING as African Culture.

That’s certainly.... something. The videos are cool, but the post’s wording is weird. I’m also partially sure that they only mentioned cultural appropriation so they could get a link back to their Amandla Stenberg article. But I’m also in PR and a cynic, soooo...

How can you tell a vegan?
