FACTS

Nah, come to a city where the Liberal Coastal Elite dominate, and you can’t throw a stone without hitting a white person who’s into soccer. Sometime in the last 5ish years people got hooked.

I live in Whitey McWhitetown and I saw the movie with a theater full of white people, but they all were scared/not laughing at the appropriate parts. In fact, I distinctly remember one of them loudly yelling “Oh, no!” when that cop car rolled up at the end. My (black) husband and I looked at each other and were like

I was confused, in general, by the hype around the Model 3. I considered reserving one myself...but then I was like wait, you want me to.spend $1,000 in real dollars and put my car life on hold for a car that I haven’t even seen yet and you haven’t even begun producing? Like people had to wait in line and pay their

Okay, good, so u wasn’t the only one thinking that. I was like “what History Channel is she watching that she’s seeing hours of Filipino culture?” I can’t even see hours of American history on the History Channel.

No, because actual rapists don’t get convicted all the time for all kinds of reasons, including legal technicalities.

Who cares? Sometimes we don’t want discussion about how to solve a problem. Sometimes we want to inflame and laugh.

YES. YES THEY DO.

This. I can at least fly down to SoCal from the PNW on cheap (because I know y’all ain’t coming up here; ain’t no black people).

I knew a change was a-coming when they boarded up University Homes when I was a student at Spelman, back in 2008 (the year I graduated). Atlanta is home for me, too. I went back in September for a recruting trip for my company and it’s almost unrecognizable now. Feels very... corporate. Basic, if you will.

Actually, that is how the English language works. The pronoun “their” can be used as a singular pronoun andhas been for many years.

This. The best answer to “how should I greet a service dog?” is “don’t.” You don’t want to put a person in an awkward position where they really want to say no but can’t.

I have a dog, and I can assure that strangers try to rough house with her all the time. She loves it, but it definitely riles her up.

If this wasn’t a release day console or game and if Amazon didn’t make the promise, fine. But first of all, we’re talking about release day - may not be important to some gamers, but to a lot of people being first and trying it out before the hype really gets away and running is important. And secondly - and more

I get my hair felt up probably 1 out of every 3 times I fly. At least they gave you a warning and an apology; half the time these folks just stick they hands straight up in my hair. I wear my hair in a short to medium length afro depending on how diligent I’ve been about getting a haircut.

I actually work with a white dude named Jerome. I assumed he was black before I met him and did a real live double take when a white guy showed up. Dude is woke as fuck. He also is well aware that 90% of people of all races assume he’s black before they meet him.

Well, duh. If he sold fewer albums he’d be less popular, which by definition means fewer people would know about him. Which also by definition means fewer people would be writing about him. This is a tautology.

That’s unfortunately true...sociologists who study the transition to adulthood consider marriage one of the markers of adulthood. It’s one of the reasons you see so many articles talking about millennials delaying adulthood - because that’s how they’re measuring it. As a different kind of social scientist, it

I know a bunch of basic people who actually do blast every single cover of Jingle Bells and The Christmas Song from their house speakers from Black Friday through January 1. My in-laws, God save them, are in that group.

Actually that exact scene is when I noped the fuck out of Game of Thrones. I read the books but I can’t do the show.
