If you can’t see the difference in magnitude of the social implications between wearing high heels and binding one’s breasts, I can’t help you.

Sure, it was an accident. But first of all, that’s an accident that can cause a lot of damage, so accident or nah, they’re still liable. Second of all, they acted super nonchalant and refused to apologize when asked.

Are you blaming the parents of a dropped newborn for the aftermath?

If they do that they are basically asking people to take their business to other hospitals. Filming the birth of children is SO common these days.

I don’t believe his ass.

Soooo while I do agree that Black Greek orgs have a lot to account for...the NPHC and the individual orgs do routinely champion for black causes collectively, including all of the ones you listed.

Oh, loaded guns around entire classrooms of curious children who outnumber the adults 20 to 1. That sounds like a great idea

Even if you can’t read, if someone comes to your door and serves you some important-looking paper, don’t you call someone on your paid legal team or even your household staff and have them read it to you?

I’ll be 33 this year and personally I love not giving a fuck territory. It makes life so, so much easier.

That was also my summation of this entire situation

I once had a police officer (a black man) tell me I shouldn't get frazzled when the cops pull me over. I wanted to ask him if he had picked up a newspaper lately, but I wanted to go home more, so I just stared at him.

Or to Tay, the chatbot Microsoft released to the wilds last year. I mean, this is something a fresh 21-year-old computer science grad can anticipate.

I honestly still thought Thanos was the hero of the movie, soo... #TeamThanos4Lyfe

Bots are great for first-run customer service support, if your engineers do their jobs and apply proper filters. They can answer the most mundane, oft-repeated questions (“What’s your customer support number again?”) and leave the more complex questions to actual humans. It’s pretty trivial to put in a filter to make

The shitty stuff didn’t all just happen “a long time ago.” Systemic oppression still exists and has effects to this day. People of color don’t complain about racist systems that keep them oppressed from 1865 or 1963; they complain about racist systems that still exist in this year of our Lord 2019. That’s why this

There is a right way to help, and the wrong way can cause more damage and harm than good. You definitely don’t go advertising and collecting money on someone else’s behalf without their go-ahead, especially if it's a public figure. What if Lauren London and his estate had different plans for raising money or dealing

This is so true. Before Meghan, the tabloids actually portrayed Kate as this weird mix of prim (in a good, polished, royal way) and down-to-earth sweet.

Sam Waterston is a perfect fantasy Mueller casting.

I’m going to give them the pass on this one.

No, you’re just mad because they’re calling you out on your bullshit. You’re using the exact same rhetoric white people use when we call them out on theirs.
