In his prime, Cmdr. Riker was a tasty piece of meat. I salute your taste.

I'm a (sort of) young so I had to Google 80s DLR—was not disappointed. Who could blame you! Look at that voluminous hair.

Has anyone reached his black best friend for a comment?

Because you're always on our lawns! With your smarty phones and your eye pads and your fancy coffee drinks we can't pronounce. Damn whippersnappers. My walker doesn't have blue tooth!

Online harassment goes well beyond a simple internet troll. People stalk online. People create fake facebook profiles and harass teen girls to the point of suicide. People post nude pictures without consent. People set up fake online profiles to threaten death and rape. The same people who do this, look up all…

As a lawyer, I can tell you the whole legal system has been woefully behind the times in adapting to the new online world. Criminal prosecution is no exception.

Oh good, I was briefly worried that R. Kelly would do something that WASN'T horrible so I'd have to start saying "he's a pedophile and a rapist but he does at least stand by his kids." Nope! Just a terrible human being wall-to-wall. It's almost refreshing in its simplicity.

I completely agree, I was just surprised no one drug it out yet.

I mean, she was 16 at the time, and there's a difference between a 16 year old who's lost a parent to suicide handling it in a strange way, and some wanna be artist talking about how glamorous it was when someone's dad blew his brains out.

you're tragically dense if you don't understand that the social construct of race 1) exists in simplifications (ie, a biracial child with dark skin will be perceived by many as black) and 2) that a parent will not be horribly depressed if a child identifies more with one race based on their unique experience.

I think its hilarious(sad) that many commenters here, who I'll venture to guess are mostly not black, keep referring to Aaliyah as light-skinned, which is exactly what's fucked up about this casting. I'm not questioning how Zendaya herself identifies or if she's really black (although her own assertion that she's…

Or, a glass of water before you go to bed.

When I was a youth, I was so world-weary that I thought I didn't care whether I lived or died. Then I had the experience of coming very close to death, and it turned out that I had this furious, fierce animal inside me that wanted to live more than anything.

"How does the white parent feel" - No. No. This isn't even funny.

I agree that Zendaya is both Black and too light to play Aaliyah. I find it really odd that the casting people went to the trouble to cast someone even lighter to play an already light person. But oh well.

Shhh, don't bring logic into this. Don't do it. Some people want to be stuck on stupid and, quite frankly, you have to let them be.

"I was 13..." Girl, bye.

swoon. He's reformed.
