My understanding is that Armenian genocide occurred in the early part of the 20th century - decades prior to Kim's birth - outside of the US. She's not saying she "didn't know that discrimination impacted people." She's saying that she's come to the realization, "that racism and discrimination are still alive."…

She was a child during that trial and I'm certain her father did not come home and hash it out for her. A lot of kids who don't deal with this don't even get the trial in To Kill a Mockingbird is about racism until it's explained. I totally don't think that trial would really impact her personal understanding of…

Like many other people have said, it is NOT unusual for people in a place of privilege to realize that privilege (and, as a result, the lack of it) exists once it personally affects them. Often, that is the only reason people take on an issue as activists. Maybe I'm an optimist but the fact that she came out and said…

For sure. I feel like a lot of that happens on Jezebel. Sometimes I just want to tell everyone to sit the fuck down. this just shouldn't even be a battle- let her have her moment of clarity.

Thanks for saying this because while I don't like this woman at all, all these responses are SNARKY AS FUCK and I think that sometimes we as people just have to be like, "thank God someone is genuinely trying, even if they know no better." There are worse people on this earth than Kim Kardashian and quite frankly, she…

So what's the alternative? She just keeps her mouth shut because she didn't understand it sooner?

What should she do then? Aside from go back in time and correct her mistakes? As a POC, I'm not horrified that she didn't get this sooner because of her past relationships/her family member's experiences. There's a lot of people who I've assumed would have a better grasp of racism because of their past and didn't. And…

I have two White female friends (one a friend from college, another a work friend) both married to Black men. Their realization of what it means to be associated with Black men and Black people in the US of A has led them both to awakenings like KK's. Years into their relationships they are still jarred when they…

I think it's difficult for most people to admit their ignorance the way that Kim Kardashian has with regard to racism. I don't understand the instinct to mock someone for this. Thinking that these issues are everyone else's problem is not actually that uncommon, especially for this generation. So good for her for…

Cephalopod? She *did* pick all the winners of that year's World Cup matches...

Fellow fattie here too! I slid in a puddle of water in a bar, and retore my ACL. So, everybody, even my damn friend that I went to that ratchet bar with in the first place, just assumed I was fat, drunk girl who can't stand up, because hehehehe, I'm so drunk. And like I literally, couldn't put any weight on that knee,…

As a fat person as well (though, sadly, much much fatter than you) I understand humiliation only too well. I feel it every time I leave the house and walk among the normies. Once, I went on a date with this guy that I'd met online. I sent him several photos of myself (so that he'd know what he was getting himself…

OH GOD. You just reminded me that one time in Amsterdam my friend made me ride on the back of her ancient rickety bike and the rear wheel folded like a taco. I TOLD HER IT WAS A BAD IDEA.

:(

Holy shit, "They" AND a dude from Dlisted???? Well, it's settled. Alert the newspapers of record, it's time to break this thing wide open.

Long torso is superior. I have a very short torso with long legs. Legs are useless. No room for cheese or any other sort of treats. :(

The thing is, even if any particular actress is lying because her publicist told her admitting she stays thin by eating only raw fish and kale and working out two hours a day would be too depressing, it's still really not our business. It's just another excuse to judge women for their bodies. Maybe we need to quit…

I said "hmm" too, but Peter Dinklage is good at refusing to take roles that degrade him so I hope this is in better taste than it sounds like. Plus, LITTLE TINY MONKEYS.

Charles James was renowned for many things, including his capes and his coats. So yes, for the theme of the gala, quite on point.
