I think the horribleness of "colored" harks back to segregated America, back in the first part of the 20th century. It was used very much as a segregative term, and was basically the polite way to say the n-word without actually saying it.

Not gif's but I'm in a hurry.

Tiana was brilliant. All she wanted was to own her own restaurant in New Orleans. She worked several jobs, saved every penny, and did everything she could to make her dream work. She kissed the frog (a VERY spoiled prince) just to do him a favor. And in the end, HE became a better person, and SHE got her restaurant,…

Late 80s drop perm.

GW is the shit. Don't apologize for him.

Thanks for the encouragement!

Neither did Tiana, my favorite DP. Not only was she NOT looking for a prince, she was willing to work her ass off to get what she wanted, without anyone's handout. And when the prince did show up, she was a much better person than he was, in almost every way. It could be argued that she saved him.

I recently developed this, or something similar (I have not yet seen my GYN).

I honestly did not want this DirtBag to end.

Billy Crystal, an actor who's performed in black face as recently as 2012, finds the modern portrayal of gay characters on tv to be a little "too much" for him.

Thanks for the encouragement. I've learned more about what I should expect and demand for myself as a woman and a person from Jezzie commenters than just about anywhere else. You are all the shiznit, and I mean that with the highest respect.

Crap. I'd never heard of gaslighting before this comment. It's exactly what my husband has been doing to me for years.

Watstyles?

I honestly thought it said "God protect the NSA," which for some reason made more sense to me, in context.

...the nice thing about being an atheist is WE DON'T BELIEVE ANYTHING and so don't have to try to indoctrinate others with our sectarianism.

Oh! I was just responding to what Burt said at the top of the thread. Lol.

I was born in 1965. That puts me 32 years into "old." That's a long fucking way down the "old" path...

Nothing makes me sadder than the fact that 1997 is the threshold for "old."

Thanks!

I dunno.
