You had me until the Michael Sam thing, which seems incredibly out of place. Or just down right homophobic (your choice).

I woman your woman. Let's woman and woman. Woman you around woman o'clock.

I think what we need to keep in mind is that this is NOT brown on brown cultural appropriation. This is the fashion industry appropriating yet again. And yes it is bad. It would be nice if Rihanna "knew better" or said "no, I'm not doing this because of XYZ" but the real issues start and end with the fashion…

Well, that thinking is precisely why I put the question to you all. Brown on Brown cultural appropriation is not as cut and dry, to me anyway, as White on Brown cultural appropriation. This is why I wanted to talk about it, because the images gave me pause. As for the oppression comparison, I hope we can all agree…

For what it's worth, I want to apologize to our readers who are forced to interact with these violent gifs regularly. The point of Kinja is to create a better platform for discussion and those discussions CANNOT happen when you're inundated by such traumatizing material. It's this person's goal to shutdown…

The last thing I want to do is give this giant and troubling waste of our goddamn time the acknowledgment that is clearly so desperately craved. But the fact that I must suppress my pride and bring attention to this in a plea for support from my own employer makes it all the more ridiculous.

You know what? I'm straight and I don't want to sleep with most men. Break that news to them if you want to see them really stunned.

I always hold back even a "nice dress!" compliment, because the subtext is still "I find you attractive and have decided to interrupt your day to say so." It's weird, but I feel like saying something nice is more rude than saying nothing...

I'm surprisingly okay with this. This kinda music is what made the 80s so wonderful!

La Roux also has a new album, and the songs Uptight Downtown and Sexotheque are SO deliciously 80s and Miami Vice. I can feel my hair teasing itself just listening to all this.

I don't object to the media filming them, but live streaming a situation like this just doesn't sit well with me.

Guess what? Goodwill does the exact same thing—packages used clothing they can't sell in North America into bales and ships it to Africa, where it's sold by merchants.

Seriously, you probably wouldn't even be thirsty anymore after the 11th or 12th shot of semen.

I love ladies from the south that wear fur coats. You can comfortably wear it for what, maybe 6 weeks at most?

I have a question about fur coats. Being from a warm climate, I have no idea - why doesn't the fur go on the INSIDE? Wouldn't it be warmer?

Everyone looks Russian. Except that beautiful black lady perched on the Mustang. That screams "American and Fabulous!"

"I can't say I'm not enjoying it."

White people have lost their goddamn minds since Obama came into office and I can't say I'm not enjoying it.

Some songs pull heartstrings; others tightly grab at wrists.

Just here to cancel out the "fishing" comment: This reaction to this article makes sense. These feelings actually correspond to the beginning of the article, are okay to feel, and are okay to express.
