I am not saying she should hide it. Should the subject come up, should someone say something inappropriate or bigoted, should she find herself in a position to help, let her say something. But to make an announcement when she has no intention of making it a part of her life seems strange.

BRAD PITT'S EX-WIFE?!

Okay, white girl here who grew up on Long Island in a town where you were either Italian or Jewish, so a good number of my friends are Jews. My Jewish friends who have this type of hair texture joke or complain about their hair don't do it because their hair is in any way associated with black/African phenotypes,…

I want to make a snarky, sarcastic (snarkastic) remark re: Khlench Montashian, but I like her so much that really all I want is for her to find a nice, stable, good relationship.

Blerg. The author's point still stands - hair texture has been a racial identifier for people of the black diaspora. It's right up there with skin color (obvs) and the half-moon fingernail tests when it comes to ways that the 'one drop' rule has been violently enforced. If whites in North America at least have their…

Ethnic Jews (i.e. those of Middle Eastern descent) are people of color. I thought it would be obvious that I wasn't referring to people of western European descent who happen to practice Judaism, but clearly that went over your head.

I'm sure she was awful, but "African diaspora" is a legit term if you are talking about, you know, the "African diaspora." What would be ironic about it? It's a real thing.

You may not agree with their decision but they really did what they were supposed to do. We don't know what his sentence is going to be and there is a civil case pending so there is more in store for Wafer.

Wow, I wish I wasn't shocked. They actually did their job and did it well.

Ugh, Ed Sheeran just lost major points with me. I absolutely loathe people that use the "If I had a daughter, she wouldn't do x" argument for things they don't like. It reflects the mindset that girls are still their father's property.

" Beyonce is likely the finest living performer we have right now and she proved that again tonight."

Shit, I hope Roger Federer doesn't do this challenge. If my 80-year-old grandmother, who has framed photos AND a life sized cutout of him in her bedroom and carries his photo in her wallet, sees a video of him all wet, I don't think her frail old heart could handle it.

Due to the publicity from the ice bucket challenge ALSA has been able to earn 31.5 million dollars so far. And that's up from 13 million just a couple of days ago. Last year they only earned 1 million dollars. People are donating because of the challenge so I think it's a great thing. Almost every person I know who…

Mrs. Richi.

Indeed I am. But oft times we drink the wine of passion, even knowing it is deadly.

Spoiler alert: her mother is not looking out for her best interests.

Of course he's shocked. He thought he could get away with killing a black person! Welp, sad day for him. As for the lawsuit, I understand where the family is coming from, but I don't think that dude has $10 million. How would they get it?

I'm shocked, too. I thought for sure he'd get away with murdering her.

Real easy not to go into the military when you have decent education and employment opportunities. Not all of us have that growing up.

And you especially do not want to be the kid of one of those people.
