Excuse me while I snort my birth control off my desk.

This was not a slip up. He knew full well that this guy is a federal judge—who he voted to confirm—in one of the 50 U.S. states, but he dismissed his authority because “real states” are the ones with majority white folks.

Sessions is the Keebler Elf whose tree bears the strangest fruit.

Jefferson Beauregard Sessions III couldn’t possibly be racist, he’s just a huge World Surf League fan, as Hawaii is considered it’s own sovereign surfing nation. If there’s one thing we know about Jefferson Beauregard Sessions III, it’s that he’s got surfing on the mind all the time - not the racism.

I don’t see how it can be anything *but* racist. He doesn’t see Hawaiians as American because they’re brown. Plain and simple.

Hawaii’s statehood was delayed for a number of years by Southern conservatives who were appalled at the prevalence of miscegenation there, most notably Sam Rayburn. You think Jefferson Beauregard Sessions thinks that Hawaii is really part of the United States? When he was growing up it was nothing but a military…

Sessions was referring to Hawaii. It’s unclear whether or not Sessions knows that Hawaii is one of the fifty states or if he was just being racist.

Each tape is is centered on someone who let her down. I don’t doubt this series will be shown in schools. It’s thought provoking.

Hotter take: Is there a way to portray suicide without glamorizing it?

Agreed. Wrist slitting is too Victorian, too literary. Oh sure there are those who end themselves this way, but it doesn’t present as authentic.

You want to show suicide in its ugly truth? How about an overdose of pills and a plastic bag, or an improvised ligature tied to a doorknob.

Suicide very seldom has the…

She had to go to court and prove the abuse. A white court took a white child from his parents and gave him to her - practically a child herself.

I’ve had the same problem with the Dolezal story — why is everyone so angry and mocking of a woman who seemed to be reacting to (a) her white parent’s ill treatment of her black adopted siblings, and (b) an art teacher who told her that her art about the black experience was inappropriate because Dolezal herself was…

Actually, I did that because it’s not an all black college. They admit people of other races. Therefore - “black.” You’ve got to know it was while she was in college or “university” - let’s sound british - she was “in university” that she both sued Howard AND also began to change her appearance for passing for black.

It’s an opportunity for people like Kara, who wrote this for Jezebel to sneer at people who would even bring up those details of her background - which she did to me by responding to my post with LOL when I mentioned she and her siblings were abused so badly that she was allowed by a court to adopt a brother. That is…

Succinctly demonstrating that you don’t actually give a shit about this issue beyond the page views. Nothing in that comment was worthy of a LOL.

Because child abuse is funny to you? Because it was so bad she got to adopt her brother?

You know, I thought this woman was crazy and wrong from the beginning. Then I heard the backstory, which the Stranger doesn’t even really dip into because it doesn’t fit the narrative that they want to drive with 15 sentences beginning with White Supremacy. Frankly, the Stranger staff is being a giant dick.

I miss the days when maintaining the fourth wall was important fan etiquette.

Good riddance.

Based on your comment history, you clearly hate Jezebel and find it beneath you. I’m gonna give you some advice: You don’t have to read it! It’s really that simple. Secondly, you have a hard time with the meaning of words, such as “misogyny,” “satire” and “jokes.”
