I like this blog post, because it really makes you think about the problems that come with assimilation.

I love the Carl Rogers quote, and the acknowledment that none of us has oretty little lives. I think most celebrities would also agree that they don't have pretty big lives.

Your blog rocks.

Curiosity killed my kitty. So I went to the restroom with my trusty iPhone and watched. Love. The. Piece! Snap, snap, snap, snap, snap! SO many of us need to watch this... I watched it thinking of our Black entertainers who never, ever look/reach back. smdh

I admit I haven't watched it because I'm at work and can't), but I love, love, love the sentiment YOU expressed myblackfriendsays! I'm known for expressing my honest opinions and feel that its freedom should be contagious. It eliminates so much BS from your life. We should share more of our life's experiences; if only to help others avoid the red flags and pitfalls that

As a white man I want a black girl to tell me that I am black from the waist down. I would dig that stereotype. Keeping it real and hanging low.

2012-01-24T12:20:12.094-07:00

I've had a variety of these things said to me growing up. I've always approached comments like these as an opportunity for people to get to know me as the person, not me as the Black person. I don't think any of it has ever stemmed from malice, only ignorance. I do realize that isn't everyone's experience though.

2012-01-20T11:48:26.122-07:00

People always tell me I remind them of their friend Nicole. Your real name isn't Nicole, is it? lol There also should be a "You look really exotic - what race are you?" but that's probably for a "Shit White Guys Say to Black Girls" video.

2012-01-19T20:17:28.244-07:00

ya know what - i'm just going to start a blog that is a response to yours cuz i take up to much space here (very funny - i almost typed "white space" but didn't mean it in terms of race)

i don't think i've ever said any of these things. the only one i think i ever wanted to say was "can i touch your hair" but then when i was ten i went to summer

2012-01-19T09:03:35.156-07:00

I believe that anything anyone says can be interpreted as racist because of the tone of voice and manner in which the comment was said.

I always enjoy your posts. Your writing style is so engaging & you always write things that make me stop and think. That being said, I was dying laughing that you called the number in that ad - SOOO something I would've done!! :)

K. "fuck you pay me" - that's from goodfellas

How to rectify/reverse/level - really? You figured if you limited it to advertising we wouldn't notice that you were basically asking for"the answer".

To answer a question you asked on your post about the help - mr anonymous above who insists its nothing morethan bootstrapping that is needed is why

WHOA WHOA whooooa back up a minute. i didn't even finish the whole thing "she may be latina or italian" for real???

i'm half italian. i made it to 21 before someone told me that meant i wasn't white. specifically they say "why didn't you tell us you weren't white?" to wit i replied - 'er, mostly cuz i thought i was .. . '

2012-01-10T22:30:02.424-07:00

Romney is a Morman and Obama went to Rev Wrights church. They both are doomed. They both suck in my eyes. Two crappy choices. I vote for the person who is the least socialist. The choices for the past few decades have all been pretty shitty. Coke or Pepsi when it comes down to it there has not been much difference in the two parties. Both parties make me sick, one just a little more than

when you say on the other post that they are more likely to be executed - where are you pulling that from? at the moment i'm not disagreeing. i found information that says since 1976 56% of those put to death are white and 35% are black

2012-01-10T17:05:54.315-07:00

I would have no problem not voting for Romney and stating that part of my reasoning is that he is a Mormon. Hell, I would prefer an atheist in the presidency, as logically, wouldn't an atheist truly value human life more than any religious person that believes in an after life? If there's an after life, it's easier to justify killing people, right? I am fast becoming less tolerant of

wow - soooo much to bite off here.

first of all; i don't really know about the rest of the country - you know the places where perry doesn't read like a complete freak of nature - but most of the people i know won't be voting for romney in the primaries because he's pretty much just like obama only not as congenial or well-spoken. the only favorable view on romney has

2012-01-10T11:52:34.126-07:00

My first boyfriend was Mormon.

I'd vote for him before I voted for Romney.

This has happened to me more times than I can count, especially in my teens. I think your feelings are incredibly valid and your anger is indeed righteous.

I appreciate your willingness to open yourself up and dialogue about things like this. Your intelligence and honesty are absolutely refreshing.

2012-01-10T11:16:53.198-07:00

All I can think when I see that picture is that woman has on a crap ton of blush.

Also, knowing your audience is sound advice that I wish more people would take heed to.

2012-01-09T20:26:15.807-07:00

I do really like kanye's music, and I also really dislike how embarrassed I feel for liking it because of some of the awful things he says just for the sake of being hateful. I remember hearing once that he had a gay cousin or something, and unlike many rappers he didn't have homophobic lyrics (or not to the extent)--and then a couple years ago that changed, came out with his "no

2012-01-08T11:29:59.026-07:00

That is how advertising works. They find out details about you and use them to tailor their advertising towards products that would suit you. Would you prefer if they tried to sell you shampoo for soft, blonde hair? I doubt it...

my life drew me away from my own and other people's blogs for a while. as fate would have it this is the post i came back to. i say as fate would have it because i found your blog through another "stuff white people do." i really like/d your blog (even subscribed on facebook though i never figured out how to make that work properly). anyway, there is a point here, i remember

To be honest, I didn't think anything of it. To me it was just two models.
