You, of all people, Don't get to tell me how to be...
You know what I love? Being mocked by some white dude about not being black enough to suit his douchey rap listening perspective about what it is to be a black man. Pretty sure I get all the “fun” aspects of being black no matter whether I’m wearing a cardigan or not.

Dare to criticize a character or an actor/actress and you’re a fucking demon. Honesty and realism is worth nothing here. So long ASoIaF. I’ll watch and read you, but I am through with the other fans. They can kiss my ass for telling it like it is.
But you weren’t telling it…
Holy crap, this, people= badass.

I was going to write a parody of the justifications that people are putting forward for Billy Crystal’s blackface yesterday — “oh, its a tribute! Its not racist!” — by writing a similar justification for Fred Astaire’s turn in blackface in 1936, when he made Swing Time.

then Father Marcel Guarnizo was officiating at a funeral mass for Loetta Johnson. After saying only people in a “state of grace” could receive communion, he refused to allow Loetta’s daughter, Barbara, to drink from the communion chalice. The reason? She’s a lesbian, and lives with her partner…
Ah, how Godlike. To insult someone at their mother’s funeral.

When there’s a poor person on the street asking for money, or help of any kind, the looks people give him/her are appalling. People are very skeptical. It’s been ingrained in people’s minds that poor people are only asking for money to pay for drugs or to buy beer. They’re…

Woman gets prosecuted for "stealing" an education
noel:
Today on my Facebook newsfeed, I saw this article about a woman who was prosecuted for lying about where she lived so her kid could go to a better school.
I became thoroughly riled up and wrote this message to the Norwalk Mayor online feedback submission form.
I just read about the proceedings and conviction of Tanya McDowell. I understand the want to make a case out of a drug...

Do not read the comments section. Unless you want to hear from a bunch of men telling us how she was probably lying, how cops can do this sort of thing so you shouldn’t get them angry, and how she probably deserved it because she was drunk. Have i mentioned lately that people are monsters?

Heterophobia is apparently a much overlooked...
I’d like to bring it to your attention that heterophobia is a real thing. And yes its wrong for gay people, who have experienced years of bullying, violence (gay panic defense actually works more times than not) , intimidation, being disowned by their friends and family, vilified by the churches and communities they belong to etc to dislike or distrust heterosexual people in any way. Those...

“Also, after the relaunch I’ve been focusing on villains a lot more than most people would. I think that’s an area we need to develop more in this decade. So putting some more meat on the villains’ bones is quite important and I’m using these villains to talk about the X-Men,” Gillen continued. “That’s why every villain they’ve encountered so...

The bigot group ONE MILLION MOMS is protesting Archie Comics for their positive and prominent portrayal of a gay male character, Kevin Keller, in their recent books. They are also protesting Toys R Us for displaying and selling these books.
These are the same awesome bigots (who, by the way, number in the tens of thousands, nowhere near a million)...
