You are speaking solely for yourself. Black men are pathologized as violent aggressors and criminals as a justification for militant policing and brutality. But you peddle that same shit against black women? Pardon me, but your misogyny is showing.

I don't even care about this topic. I just had to tell you that I love your screen name. Mr. Eko was okay, but its all about Adebisi...and his hat.

I understand what you are saying, but I don't believe my statement is remotely disingenuous. This was her experience, not that of any of us assessing it from our armchairs. And, as I stated, you can plan to "yield and defuse the situation without violence", but each situation is unique, and you can't plan for the…

You cannot guarantee such a thing. When I was robbed at knifepoint, I fought back, even though I'm sure I would have been advised not to, as I was unarmed, a woman, and overweight, and my assailant was younger, fitter, male and armed. But whatever I might have cogently and calmly planned to do in such a situation…

Sorry, you are mistaken. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (as well as a Licensed Mental Health Counselor), which does delve into sexuality in training, but by no measure qualifies one to be a sexologist. You are conflating a sexologist, which is a researcher and behavioral scientist, with a clinical sexo…

I'll admit I have no idea who Cara is either *gasp*

Never said it was unbelievable. I just don't assume someone is gay simply because they are in a same-sex relationship. If someone identifies themselves as gay, wonderful. But Rodriguez never has. She's talked quite a bit about her bisexuality, though she rarely uses that word. I would just assume most aware…

You win because Marc Anthony is awesome.

Also based on her own words, in which she's acknowledged relationships with and sexual attraction to both men and women, long before this little yacht trip. I'm not even a fan of hers and this information was out there (especially around the time she was polarizing fans on Lost).

I just feel better knowing there are so many of us. My mother says I started biting my nails, or at least chewing on them, as soon as I stopped teething. I've done it my whole life. I went through a period of a few years of regularly wearing acrylic nails, and I even nibbled on the ends of those, but that's the…

Not in his use of social media. And I say this as a former big fan who watched Man vs. Food marathons religiously.

It's from the Drama School. Not bashing one of the best actor training programs in the world, but its hardly a degree in physics or contemporary literature.

That performance wouldn't have cut it in an elementary school play. My roommate and I immediately said the child was hiding from his parents.

I don't think that's in dispute. It also wasn't the subject of the OP.

What "culture" would that be? The same one where teenage girls talk about how they like a guy, but they don't "like-like" him?

This is a guy who acted as legal guardian to his own father when he was still a child, shuttling him to AA meetings and financially supporting them both, including paying his father as an incentive to stay sober. Heavy responsibilities on shoulders too immature to carry them, plus a family history of mental…

Jez mods had better get it together. No one wants to wade through this horribly racist, sexist crap just to make a comment.

She said she wasn't giving any special props to Today for not demanding she conform to her usual style. She wasn't referring to Hall here.

It's hard to tell tone from reading, but I read it as sarcastic, in context of the rest of the post. A gentle rebuke to those who would concern-troll this trained athlete who consulted with her physicians before undertaking this race.

Chocolate and Spitting Games are two of the most perfectly contained slices of music ever. I liked the latest album, Fallen Empires, but its no Final Straw.
