Plus, if I recall doesn’t Claire give Bender one of her expensive diamond earrings that her PARENTS paid for? I totally see Ringwald’s point. He is abusive, and not at any time does he apologize nor does Claire demand it. The character gives him tongue and an expensive gift!

Yeah, I pointed out to my BF that she looked about as biracial as I do—which is not at all. I haven’t watched the show, but it’s obvious they cast her to have NO confusion about having cast someone Black. Let’s be real, white people have a tendency to make light/biracial folks one of them if possible-i.e. Meghan…

LoL! I remember in 2014 when I came back from Europe, where yes, you can get a beer at McDonalds...I went into a Walmart in Warner Robins, Georgia to buy wine on a Sunday...not remembering that you couldn’t! The cashier looked at me like I was trying to buy heroin!

Oh yeah. And you know her mom’s going to be with her during that time...and I googled pics and my girl has natural hair/dookie braids! Let the WASP pearl clutching continue!

I’ve always thought a white, British woman/man of a certain class and/or wealth would always have a chance (and some desire) at marrying into the royal family. As for Meghan, it is only going to get worse once Harry and she are on Cyprus or somewhere, and she gets ‘tawny’ and doesn’t use that flat iron on the regular.…

I agree. When I was in the Air Force, VP Cheney showed up to give a speech, and it was mandatory to attend...yeah. The little one was adorable, and who knows maybe standing there lit a fire under her! ;)

Eh, I doubt it’s about trump, as opposed to being at the White House at Easter for the egg roll...although, people like Paris Dennard exist. I personally love the woman who’s on her 15th year. She clearly doesn’t care who inhabits the WH as long as she gets her commemorative egg!

You’re right about people speaking up. I’ve made a joke in person about someone who most of the world does not like, having an aneurysm in the shower, while the foreign borne spouse stands over this person as they die. However, the people I’ve said it to looked aghast, not because they like this person, but because it…

I’m always just shocked at the stupidity. Social Media is not a private diary. Fine- you can be lacking in empathy, decency and a moral center. But, honey, please tell me as someone who is a nurse, such a practical, real world, boots on the ground kind of occupation, not in some celebrity/royalty/heiress bubble, that…

It’s one of my favorite comedies ever. I hate that people lost their jobs...and yet, I’m glad it ended before it wore out its welcome. Even I Love Lucy (the best comedy ever) should have ended before the move to the country! Also, I’ve only seen the first season of JJ, and I thought it was Pretty Good.

American Black-biracial gold diggers FTW!

Are they southern? I’m from Georgia and I live in Atlanta now, and how I grew up, ghosts, dreams, root working, etc. were a thing for many Black folks. It still is. When I talk to my mom or sister...I don’t know that we have a tendency to talk openly outside of other Black people, but it is there!

Probably. I’m at least happy that two of them are Black. I grow weary of white washing.

Exactly. She’s a British/Canadian who has a home and works here, but her family are all in England and Canada, and she’s been working a lot in those countries.

Agreed. I think people have a tendency to compartmentalize how we live; Good nutrition, physical fitness, organic cleaning solutions, while also being into recreational drug use, unprotected sex, emotionally damaging relationships, etc. The problem is Kellyanne Conway is thoroughly unqualified for the task at hand.

I’ve no doubt, that you are probably correct.

Why are these names stupid sounding? The last names sound European, French and Eastern European, probably. Ross is pretty common. Yes, Baskin is different, but my guess is perhaps it’s her mother’s maiden name? Would it be better if the names were Mary and James, and they kicked their heritages to the curb and became…

I knew it was a group, due to the mentions over the years on Gawker...I honestly thought they were some British pop group ala the Spice Girls or One Direction! I didn’t know anything about them being from Making of the Band. Although, in the scheme of things, the only difference is nationality.

No. But, let’s be honest EVERYTHING becomes a musical. Carrie, Sunset Blvd, Legally Blond, etc. all are stage musicals. So, I don’t think that should be a strike against it. Apparently, that is the thing to do now!
