I think there's a lot of co-opting going on and it's all very uncomfortable. I knew about shade and reading from the old Black Queens my mother knew/knows, but how those concepts have disseminated is....sketchy, to say the least. I mean, I see people trying to vogue and duck walk and suicide drop and it's all just…

I know it came from us first, but it is much better than ghetto. It may have its origin in our community, but so do a lot of sayings and slang. There's also lots of slang we use from other languages and culture that come from poorer people of that group.

There was no joke, nor had the ethnicity of any name crossed my mind. I don't think it's that much of a stretch, if you've never heard the name Donda before, to think that two people comfortable with spelling Kaidence that way might take other liberties with nomenclature. And yes, after learning that Donda was the…

What the fuck is with all the hate over the names Donda and Kaidence, which are actual real names that other living people have been named before, and Blue Ivy got a total pass. Like what the shit people, Beyonce (who I love, don't get me wrong) named her child after a colour and a plant and that's ok because she's…

Cos huh-duh ethnic names be funny?! I'm sure jokes about ethnic names kills at Ossifrages all-white sorority parties.

Let's be real. This is showing a lot of restraint for the two of them.

Yeah that kind of thing makes me so stabby. OK yes I do get stressed easily but I don't think that caused my Hodgkin's (currently in remission for the past 2 years). Or is that why my dad, who tried to eat healthy and exercise, died far too young of a rare GI cancer? Fuck that blame the victim shit.

Look Melissa, I know there aren't a lot of people coming to your damn window as of late but this is hardly the way to make that happen.

I'm actually glad that Jez posted the pictures because otherwise I would have just gone to VICE to see what they were. I don't want to give VICE the page clicks for this disgusting photo shoot.

All of that makes sense; I guess it'd be more accurate to say that there's not much of an incentive for Hollywood to portray Indians in a non-racist way, considering we live in a country where there's actually debate as to whether or not "redskin" is a racist term.

Dunham is a bigot. I think it was a snarky remark. Gawker's write up was more honest in that it takes into account her history. The idea that someone who's show has been accused of racial stereotyping is wading into this is absurd.

Amanda Bynes just looks like a girl with many problems to me. Listening to here would be like when my niece was two and would say things like "YOU STINKY POO POO!". My niece was full of anger and I didn't stink of poo poo at all.

To be fair, that's a really difficult question. "What does this say about us a society?" That's a thesis question. Where do you start? How would you answer that intelligently off the top of your head? Some bullshit about about woman power? Yea! Or the mens hates the ladies? No, it's far, far more complex an issue than…

My niece was 5 weeks premature and besides having a low birth weight (around 5 lbs) she was able to go home after the standard hospital stay. She had trouble staying awake long enough to fully feed and her weight drop was a concern but almost 7 years later she's a perfectly normal healthy little girl.

Personally, I'm sort of neutral on the Kardashians, but for some reason it bugs me when people seem to think she doesn't do anything. It seems like she does a lot. She managed to turn a (legit?) sex tape into clothing lines, makeup, perfume (i think), and a whole bunch of other stuff. I mean, basically the same thing…

Here. Let me Google that for you.

I was going to say, can we have an article that, like... explains WHAT HAPPENED?

Are you seriously posting another article about the girlfriend and not the violation of our civil rights? SERIOUSLY?!

As a teacher who is nearing the end of yet another very, very long year, this really makes me happy. THIS is why many of us teach and strive to do so much with so little.
