Nope, it’s for people who aren’t bothered by the natural state of their face. I used to wear a lot, stopped (partly because I was uncomfortable with the fact that I was uncomfortable with how I looked without makeup), and now I wear much less when I do wear it, and I feel like someone else. Only that someone else I…

No, it’s not.

I don’t dismiss Miss Mable Jenkins’ wisdom. I do think she may be too use to turning the other cheek.

You don’t meed specific ancestry to be able to research or write something good. Also, being of a specific descent do not esnt mean your writing isn’t complete garbage.

I’m Latin American and pasty white. Should I return my passport and forget I speak Spanish? This isn’t about race and there isn’t a right or wrong way to be Latino. Be critical of people on the actual substance of what they’re saying, not their identity.

So you have to be Mexican to write about Mexico? Do I have to have the ability to time travel if I want to write about the Middle Ages? Can I write fiction about space if I’ve never been there? I guess I can’t write male characters either since I’m a woman. And Latino writers should only ever be allowed to write about…

From one POC to another:

Research?

They seem to ignore that Latino is not a race and that there are indeed millions of white people living all over Latin America and who are as Latino as those with darker skin. When your entire argument is that Oprah is being ignorant (and she is), it would help not to be ignorant yourself. 

Rape is tasteless, crass, and cruel.

Sanders was very active in the civil rights movement. I’m not sure how you can twist that into a “problematic history with race”, unless you are looking at political smear campaigns instead of real history.

Don’t mean to be mean, but you need to get outside of your bubble and see what science actually says instead of trying to pass off a couple of highly misleading and suspect findings as FACT.

I think that you’d be hard pressed to find any middle-class+ white politician, regardless of how progressive they may be, that doesn’t fuck up with non-whites. For the most part all of us (regardless of race) that grew up in the USA have conditioned biases against “others” (on top of the natural human wiring to…

They almost certainly never had any more significant interaction with Warren than a handshake or the occasional “I acknowledge you exist” greeting in passing.

But otherwise you’re right. Most upper-middle class white college types such as those who predominantly staff a white Democratic candidate’s campaign have…

And I’m sure that you can find 200 medical professionals that support the legislation.

and dentists.

Y’all do realize that there was a criminal suit (dropped because of harassment campaign) and a civil suit that was SETTLED. not dismissed. Damages were awarded and Kobe released a public (non) apology which acknowledged the encounter was non-consentual. You don’t get to ignore or rewrite history because discussing…

When other celebrities have passed away their entire lives have been discussed. Now that it’s someone we liked, we’re cherry picking what can be discussed. Keep that same energy folks. 

I’m not at war with black men; I love them very much. I’m at war with misogynists. If you think the two are automatically synonymous, that’s on you, but that’s not a belief I hold, nor is it a generalization I’ll accept having projected upon me.

I’m really annoyed by this new trend of “Couples Who Live Apart Are Happier!”
