Because he’s assuming why all the black girls in his high school didn’t want him. I highly doubt he actually engaged them intelligently to find out why they wouldn’t date him.

Nah. I’m only two years younger than Donald Glover and I grew up in the same neighborhoods as him. Yes, it was harder to be nerdy back then because the nerdy/techie type wasn’t as cool and it was harder to find other people like you. But as a black nerdy girl in a mostly black environment I found lots of other people…

I’m glad you said it because I had a very similar comment all typed up and ready to let fly. I mean, I might still post it, but I’m just gonna give you a star, too. I don’t have a problem with Donald Glover or anyone else dating a white woman. I have a problem with Donald Glover’s treatment and stereotyping of black…

Its not really a knockoff. It’s clearly heavily influenced by it. The other thing is that artists and writers have long been influenced by their contemporaries - this is nothing new.

I hope you read it for yourself. I disagree with this review; I thought it was fantastic. I do agree it suffers some pacing issues in the middle, and there are definitely parts that feel like they were written for a movie, but the story is engaging and the writing is excellent.

Yeah, I was surprised by the omission of “Knockin’ Da Boots,” honestly. I suppose it’s overplayed.

For me it’s “Come and Talk to Me” or maybe “Love U 4 Life.” But “Freek’N You” is fine too

I do love Beyonce...but no lies detected.

Yeah, this. I’ve conducted research on mood disorders and I have friends and family who are bipolar. People really need to stop Internet diagnosing people and then using that to explain all sorts of behavior. It is possible for someone to be an asshole and say crazy shit without having a mental illness, and spouting…

Does he really want to do this? I mean, some of these people have already shown their receipts. I’m sure more will surface if he goes through with this.

Actually in retrospect, his donation to Spelman becomes more insidious and dark. He donated money to a college founded and built for black women while he was drugging and raping women, many of them black.

That’s exactly what she was getting at in the chapter. She even mentions it right after the little highlighted passage.

It is not. It’s satirical and context is important. Issa’s own father is a doctor.

I interpreted her comment as commenting on that divide in the Asian community, not actually espousing the belief herself, but I’m not actually sure how she meant it.

The book is satirical. I think she was ripping on people’s perceptions of Filipinos rather than espousing it herself.

Its literally a part of OUR culture to want lighter skin and obsess over it. Should we tell black people not to date interracially at all - or, hell, given colorism in the black community not to date *period*? This is a stereotypical and prejudiced take.

“There are LOTS of way to go after Sanders. I personally think that she is overly antagonistic to the reporters who cover the White House and misleads on the regular.”

Michelle Wolf’s exact words:

“Every time Sarah steps up to the podium I get excited, because I’m not really sure what we’re going to get - you know, a…

I didn’t get this reference (and I am queer myself), but maybe it was a reference to the softball questions they ask? I dunno.

It’s not, at all. A smoky eye is a certain eyeshadow look, like an “every day” look or “no make up” look. They are stretching really, really far to make that derogatory.

Have you or your son ever thought about the structural reasons why his students are missing some of the things he deems necessary to get a good high school education?
