Anthony Weiner was an asshole. But Trump won because America is more racist than white people admitted. It’s not a fluke that a lot of poc knew Trump would win.

I have started to flip the script and aggressively ask, “No, but really, what are you? Where is your family really from?” right back. Over and over again, until they become visibly uncomfortable. It drives the point home pretty well.  

I’m half black and I completely get it.

I’ve never been more proud of my 20 year old when he told me that when he was working in a foreign country (where he understood enough of the language to know the profanities) that he followed a seemingly arguing couple in case he needed to break something up.

When you hunt and eat squirrels, you have access to squirrel blood. She may not have done the hunting but I wouldn’t be surprised. My father took me squirrel hunting when I was six. (I was an abyssmal failure and, once he pointed the gun, preparing to shoot, I realized what was happening and thought, “Bambi’s Mama!?!”…

He was an Oprah once (I beleive it was part of the Making Faces press tour since it featured heavily) and it was one of the most delightful hours of that show that I ever saw.

As a black woman, I feel very comfortable saying that, if I had to choose a different avatar, I’d prefer to be a white woman almost anywhere in the world than to be a black man almost anywhere in the world. And white women have a history of killing black men with tears and lies. There are quite a few intersections at…

I can totally see a Fox News host sincerely calling DJT “hot”. Part of patriarchy is expecting that women should be primarily judged on their looks but men should be seen as desirable for traits other than looks (usually on traits like money and ability to win dominance rituals over other men).

Representation matters, asshat. If you’re measuring relatability by your own basic borning-ass life then you’re doing it wrong.

This reminds me of an annual review I received at an old job that came with an annual merit increase in pay. I was one of 2 or 3 black women working in this department, and I had been promoted from a lower department. I got a raise when I came over, so I was happy.

Not sure what “good book” that fuckin’ idiot is reading because it’s not the Bible which talks about divorce and exceptions for when it’s permissible.

It’s like 10,000 spoons when all you need is a knife.

Oh her?

What a lot of these brilliant doctors on the thread do not seem aware of is that whatever you call it semantically, there is a condition by which people who have been infected with Lyme Disease have ever-elevating symptoms for a long time after, and also plenty of evidence (ie, you know, actual tests) showing that…

I still cannot agree. If a disease lasts years, it is chronic and not acute. This is the very definition of a chronic illness. And given that my clients, themselves, describe their condition as chronic Lyme, this is the definition with which I have to work.

I wish I could agree with you. Many of my clients have been tested positive for Lyme (not to speak of the ones who believe they have Lyme though have tested negative for specific bacteria) and have suffered long-term neurological effects. They are not rich; and, in fact, are hemorrhaging finances in a desperate search…
