One thing Taylor Swift isn’t doing? Working for a paycheck on a talent show.

I grew up watching K-Dramas with my Grandma. They are a special kind of insane. The Chinese and Japanese dramas just do not compare.

This is worth it. Friendship is a beautiful thing, friendship is wonderful... but friendship has parameters and criteria and tests that need to be passed with at least an 80% regardless of race, ethnicity, creed, socioeconomics, etc. And there are levels, tiers to the shit - laughing at a similiar joke will get you a…

Oh, and OMG - don’t do that ish to people when they are working! Those customers are the worst.

I feel the same way! I have personally never been attracted to or seriously dated a “flirt,” because I find them shallow and not very trustworthy.

This is how my uncle explained cheating to me:

Seems like the perspective of the question is off. It’s obviously not cheating when you know what’s in your head. “Is the flirting I do cheating? I don’t think so.”

Wouldn’t being friendly be friendly enough? I mean people confuse being friendly as being flirty enough. Why play with mixing the two?

There is a difference between being friendly, being playful and flirting, and everyone’s perception of those varies — on the giving end, the receiving end, the observing end and the “wasn’t there but heard about it” end. It comes down to intent, which is rascally difficult to measure.

“For the most part it is harmless. I’m not going to lie—I have used flirting to my advantage to get my way in public with both men and women. It’s a thing that I do.

This is exactly my take. Thanks.

I definitely have a coworker or two... ahem. Yes.

Yes. This creates dangerous fuel to justify prominent people on the far right who appeared alongside white supremacist groups. Our side of the political spectrum has (rightly!) exposed and attacked people who did the rather minor act of  re-posting white supremacist tweets. That’s nothing compared to Tamika, who was…

Testify!

I have a distant cousin who, being a bit young and ignorant of its leadership, attended a NOI-sponsored event in Jacksonville early this decade.

Also those are all conservative assholes that the author listed. We’re not talking about Herman Cain, we’re talking about someone on the “progressive” side which means she has higher expectations. They could at least list white liberal women in cults- Elisabeth Moss, Laura Prepon. But they’re still not also leaders of…

I live in Chicago and his HQ on the South Side gives me the creeps. She needs to denounce him and stop supporting the NOI. You are right. They are a cult. Look at the building.

Exactly, if everyone judged themselves by white elites, the world would be a worse place. It also can’t be stressed enough how shitty the NOI is to everyone other than straight men.

When it comes to respectability politics, I am confronted with it, at least, twice a month while I am at work. Its always with the same black colleague, too.
