This was my thought exactly. He was probably so shocked and horrified that he didn't know what the appropriate response was...I've definitely felt that way before, and then wondered after what could or should have been done.

I feel like...had you instead tried to find men of other races attractive, maybe in a small way, by looking for something you did like in non-white men, rather than full on dating and getting intimate with them, it might have been a better experience for all concerned. But maybe that's just me. If I can't want it in…
I'm not here to comment on whether or not you are a racist, it seems as though you have gone to great lengths to deal with your personal sexual preferences. What I will say, is that I think you have a very narrow view of what racism is. If you extrapolate from the belief of superiority, then you have a belief that…
This is an amazing and eloquent reply to someone who is clearly being intentionally dense, at best. I wish I could star it more than once.
Yeah, my mind wants to make it a rainbow, and to be honest I see at least 4-5 different colors
Unless she was only a few minutes late, it's abandonment on both ends. If you don't show at a certain time, your new pick up location is actually supposed to be CPS or the local police station, as has been mentioned above. And it's true, accidents happen. But 1:30 am seems a little late for most childcare. More likely…
I'm not entirely sure that the Middle East has a monopoly on barbaric laws, or that they can't use social media to create change. I think it's easy to say "those Muslims are so behind" without putting in the historical context of oppression and colonialism. When a return to tradition/stepping away from oppressors is a…
I misunderstood& thought that you were in America. Given the number of states that can force you to share custody of a child conceived in rape with your rapist, I'm not sure the US can say much about other countries' justice systems. I don't know enough about Canadian law on this matter. Additionally, I agree that…
Our justice system is beyond flawed. I'm not saying that this horrific murder wasn't wrong, but it appears that her father was arrested. I don't think it's correct for you to act like it's so much better here when rape is practically a legal crime. Everyone expresses outrage right up until an actual victim steps…
There are numerous examples of patriarchy in Western culture. This was just one that is often not thought of. In fact, the whole custom of the father "giving away" the bride is patriarchal, and a hold over from the days when women were actually property, to be given from father to husband. In America, for example,…
I...may have read this while pooping...
Wait, wait...shouldn't the correct ratio of blueberries& beets result in indigo? Maybe with some purple potatoes for good measure? Hmm...
Thank you so much for this comment. It nearly made me tear up, it is SO true.
You really got to the heart of the issue here. Powerful.
Smh. I mean, you should just be embarrassed. You're too pathetic even for rage.
These sorts of people make me embarrassed to call myself a Christian. hey are the exact opposite of what Jesus stood for (love, not judging sinners, embracing outcasts) and want to wrap their bigotry in "morals." Being cruel to others, no matter what you think of them, is basically the opposite of being Christian.…
I wasn't actually contradicting you, just saying that not ALL women feel the same way. I totally agree with you there. Likely, if we're really into you, it won't matter much, but if we aren't, don't force it. I highly doubt many relationships make or break on how the first kiss happened. However, kissing someone who…
As much as I am not a proponent of online dating, I'm sorry your experiences were so unpleasant. I have mostly had bad experiences with online dating, and find it is missing something, but constant rejection is awful. I'm sorry. I think it's a flawed system that doesn't compensate for the way we would judge people in…
