In my experience, education and general chi-chi-ness doesn't make one less bigoted, racist, and/or less of an asshole.

How unseemly for you to tell Black women that you know "all the context and all the history" and attempt to school Black women about just how accepting the legal industry is of natural hair as if you know better than we do, and then post a "see, this Black women right here proves my point" post. All of this after…
Fuck off. You don't get to tell people which parts of culture-raiding they can and can't complain about. Take your smug "permission" and stick it up your privileged hole.
Curious: Do you believe that your chances of being hired would have been the same had your hair not been straight for your interview?
I am also in NY and worked for Skadden Arps as a legal assistant for 10 years. I have also been natural for almost 20 years, so I'm quite aware that there are many naturalistas in every field. That hasn't been disputed and wasn't the point. This person is saying that curly-haired Jewish women have the same issues and…
the hair experience is actually been more trying for a certain group of Jewish women who also use relaxers and are met with different results
Yeah, non-white, non-privileged people are so uncool when they have the nerve to complain about being fucked over.
No, you've seen Jewish women with very curly hair and you are not experienced enough to see the difference. I can guarantee you that hair care, maintenance, style choices, and most importantly, ACCEPTANCE are different for those two groups. A curly haired white woman choosing to blow dry or even chemically straighten…
I've seen Jewish women with very curly hair. I've never seen Jewish women with hair like mine, BECAUSE I AM BLACK, AND HAVE AFRICAN-TEXTURED HAIR. Period. Being white and having curly hair is nothing like, well, being Black. So stop it.
WHAT??? Ok, so how did she respond??? You can't just drop that info and not finish the story!!!
Um...it seems that you have completely misunderstood what was written. She in no way minimized anything about wearing your hair natural in America. And if you believe she did, can you please point to the quote that does that?
No, she's saying she won't give Today any special props for supporting Tamron wearing her hair natural. So that statement is about our jobs not deserving a cookie for not discriminating against our natural hair.
Ah, yes, makes sense that your body just isn't used to the movement. And I also hate that everyone passes me!!! Now, time to work on actually getting back to moving around on occasion and not being so lazy while making Crunch rich...
Interesting.
Ok, I just wanna jump in here about the steps as a non-pregnant woman who hasn't run in while. Even when I am exercising regularly and being all healthy and shit, and even when I weighed less, stairs are and have always been hell. I get out of breath so easily, even if I'm in decent shape. You sound like a fit person…
Now, now. You are both asking too much and forgetting an important morsel of information: "They" don't really give a shit how anyone who is not them feels about what they do. They just want to be left in peace to run over anyone they encounter and use those people and their cultures however the hell they please. The…
Your son is quite astute.
Selling pets on Craigslist for quick cash is a great way to get that animal used as a bait dog to help train fighting dogs, or used for experimentation, or whatever other horrible things people do to animals.
Not just shitty - illegal. It is illegal to pay someone with only room and board.
Nope.
