No she was not "pretty much an adult by the time they met." She was 10 when his relationship began with Mia. I have an 11 year old who was 10 when I started dating my current BF. If he started having sex with her when she's 18 and used the argument that we never got married and she was pretty much an adult when he…

Regardless of whether he was Soon-Yi's "father figure," he was (is?) the legal father of at least two of the children, Soon-Yi's siblings. At the very least, he is a dad who was willing to put his desire for a romantic relationship with his children's sister ahead of his relationship with his children. This…

Besides her status as his kid/not his kid, adopted, step-child, whatever- Soon Yi was part of a family unit with Mia and his presumed bio kid. The fact that their relationship only came to the surface because Mia found nude photos of her daughter that he took shows that he was capable of manipulating a family unit…

The statement I made about Jezebel being predominantly white still holds. The staff has had some wonderfully additions, but the comment still holds. The WEBSITE, Jezebel, is predominately focused on white women. It's not an accusatory statement, it's an overall statistic. It's content (Shit, even its comment base)…

She left because she couldn't take the defensive white women tears on every racism article. I remember reading an article written by her about how black women were critical of white men/black men relationships for a number of reason more complex than racism and it was flooded by white women calling Peterson a racist.…

There is nothing sexier than what you just described. Nothing.

I've never met a white person that felt that way or treated anyone as if they were less human because of their skin color.

Please stop playing this ridiculous what if game! Myself and my parents are disabled. Little asshole kids have kicked the seats behind us on planes where we have rods and screws and electrode implants in our backs or where we are still recovering from major surgery 6 months later. Guess what? The last 8 times it…

Or the couple could have called someone to take their place. It's not the restaurant's responsibility - the couple agreed to the policy when they bought the tickets.

Not absurd at all. They have been voted in the top ten restaurants IN THE WORLD. If I was seated next to them I would not want my (probably once in a lifetime) experience ruined by some kid crying. If you buy tickets to a sold old play and you can't make it, tough shit. Same goes for a concert. "Hey Beyonce, my…

Yeah, that orange and purple dress is a monstrosity. Not a great example.

This purple and peach thing is GAHD AWFUL

"But there's a clear difference between someone like Emma Roberts and Chris Brown."

I think you could safely bet a rather large sum of money that nobody here would be saying any of this apologist crap if he hit her instead.

Aren't we always telling WOMEN "If he hits you once, he'll do it again"? That is the way it begins. With one violent incident. And who knows how many times it happened before the authorities found out? She just went nuts one time? That shit escalates. It starts with emotional abuse and builds up.

She's really sorry this time and she'll never do anything like that again, baby. She swears. You know she loves him.

You seem really confident speaking for "many African Americans" and how we feel about slavery.

Confident bordering on arrogant.

Since I actually am African American, and have fam who live in the South, I have serious doubts about the truth of your claim - and, even though I'm actually Black, I wouldn't be arrogant…

Are you actually deleting comments that are unfavourable to your cranky story ?

No matter how polite we fat people are, or if we have the temerity to act like a "Normal" person, it will never be enough. It will always be our fault, because we always, always, always have to justify discrimination or Othering occurrences.

"I'm pretty much obsessed with etiquette and politeness..."
"I passive-aggressively jarred his foot with my backpack"
Go on...
