“You’ve never held his dick while he pees?” O_o << that’s the look they— straight woman, gay man— are giving me. It’s also the same one I’m giving them. CBW would make that face too- I just know it- if he were still standing here. This whole conversation started when she asked me, “Hey, do ...
Jordan Davis would have been celebrating his 19th birthday today. Instead, at 17, he was gunned down after a random white guy at a Florida gas station flipped his privileged lid when Davis and his friends refused to turn down their loud music. Dunn claims Davis brandished a shotgun, so Dunn grabbed his pistol and ...
Somehow a day that’s supposed to be about celebrating love tends to bring out the worst in so many on social media. There are the great men who are stressed out trying to show and prove as if ONE day determines everything. There are women who act like one day and an expensive gift determine ...

Last week, there were plenty of reactions to an XO Jane story in which a self-described “skinny white girl” in a yoga class assumed that a “heavyset” black woman, who never said a word to her, coveted her lithe form. Whatever. That misguided essay launched hundreds of responses, including one of my own, which pointed out that no, white lady, ...
