Word up to all of this. I'm a WOC, and I have a few of the Mammie/Uncle Ben salt and pepper shakers. *shrugs* They were gifted to me by my mother so....I dunno, I like them.

Afro-Caribbean to be exact, raised in the bumfuck cornfields of Illinois. I've seen my share of passive and overt racism, so yeah, might want to reign in the credential check.

I can't be the only WOC who doesn't give two shits about this. I think I'm more offended by ostensibly white folks who are nervously offended on my behalf. Its ok white people, you don't need to shriek and cry "ZOMGRACISM" at every bit of kitschy nonsense just to prove....how not racist you are.

" She has never had genuine struggles"

I swear to god, the hoops people have to jump through just to be considered a progressive ally.....its like No True Scotsman met up with Oppression Olympics, had a baby, and called it Butthurt Judgy Jezebel Commentators.

...wow.... I JUST realized that Carly Rae Jepsen =/= Karmin. All this time i though CRJ was doing a solo thing independent of whatever Karmin was...yeah not even close. lol.

pft! what are you doing here?!? making all this sense and logic in light of a narcissistic, navel gazing, shrill, weight related Jez article?

Seriously. I work on Michigan Ave, across the street from the Tribune Tower actually, and this shit has been happening more and more often. Ugh, its worse when the center medians have the tulips in full bloom and the entire wedding party takes up the space of the cross walk just so they can get quirky shots of the…

...enh, the male love interest looks fairly putzy.

You win +1000 internets for this comment.

Its a shame he was a father, cause he would have made an excellent Darwin Award recipient.

I know a guy who was sucked into to selling body builder supplements and vitamins. In fact, his wedding was one giant sales pitch/recruitment event for him and his bride (who was hawking Scentsy, for realz) :(

Fucking Cutco! Wasted 3 days in some office park basement only to be told I had to pay $180 up front so I can go shill knives to my neighbors? FUUUUUCCK THAT. To be fair though, they were pretty sweet knives.

Oh man, I have SO MUCH Lia Sophia jewelry (and other nonsense) pawned off onto me by my mother. Shes always invited to these MLM 'parties' by her fellow (underpaid) teachers, where she just feels bad for them so she ends up pity-buying their tchotchkes and what-nots. She hates the stuff, so I end up reaping the…

Sooo, when are the HAES/NAAFA folks going to pop in and crow about how we're all shaming and concern trolling this poor dog, and how you can't tell someone's (or I should say, some dog's) health by their weight?

Hey, I'm not the one flippin' my shit, making smug moralizing judgement against a sex worker. jussayin'...
