I don't think "recommend" is enough to convey what an excellent comment this is.

Let me first say that my reply to you would be the same even had you not divulged your race in your comment.
I'm sure that is sometimes true, but at the end of the day if you say "not all ... are like that" you're dismissing what somebody is trying to tell you about their personal experience and making it about yourself instead. A real ally, whether it's a feminist man or a straight gay rights activist or a white anti-racism…
My husband is bribing me to get pregnant with a DSLR camera I've had my eye on. I want a kid, I'm just scared of all the changes, and having to slow down (I run a lot of 1/2 marathons and marathons). I'm excited too about heading down that route with the hubster. That DSLR camera suuuuuuuuuuuure does sound good though
Yes! Thank you! I've been thinking that since the OMG NOT ALL WHITE PEOPLE ARE LIKE THAT comments started rolling in. Most of us on here want to be taken seriously and listened to and believed when we talk about our negative experiences with men and not have the conversation derailed by dudes trying to make it about…
I have a question about joining a gym. I'm out of shape and really want to start working out again. Back in May I joined a Crossfit gym and did it for 4 weeks. I really enjoyed it and noticed that I was getting better. But, I got injured and then couldn't afford to renew my membership. Now, I'm able to afford a gym. I…
"If it's not about you, don't make it about you."
Thanks for posting that. My white anti-racist friends know I don't mean them when I start venting about white privilege, etc.
It's a wonderful story, and your point is spot-on. You'd think a bunch of feminists who tell men to knock it off when they get upset about what women are saying "men" do to women would not to the same thing to black people. Thanks for sharing.
WHAT ABOUT THE WHITEZ?
I made the comment below in a thread started by HermioneStranger about certain white Jezzies taking offense at being lumped in with "white people" in general during the many, many discussions that have happened in the wake of the Zimmerman verdict. She asked for a little perspective - "Hey, fellow white ladies of…
Hi...um, that's a really bad idea. It sounds like a Nat Geo style, colonialist, sexually exploitative PR disaster . It's terribly offensive. As a black person myself, if I saw something like what your father is suggesting, I would boycott the company or the artist. I might plaster it on the interwebs so that other…

You're an idiot. You don't get a Ph.D after one course.
He was NOT a neighborhood watch volunteer, except in his mind. He never belonged to the neighborhood watch in any way, shape, or form. This lie the media keeps reporting is starting to really piss me off.
Right. And I'm sure if I started cracking dead baby jokes, he and his ilk would totally not be beside themselves with sanctimonious moral outrage.
HAHAHA I love that he thinks only liberals try to abort! That's really cute and naive. I'd hate to see him get plucked by someone who doesn't even see that he is blossoming, and by plucked, I mean punched in the face, and by blossoming, I mean, being an asshole. Because I'd like for the person that punches him in…
