    Sorry, but since I had the pleasure of watching "Playground" this morning, a doc at TFF on child abuse/porn and human trafficking, I'm going to say it is more than appropriate to begin castrating these disgusting predators.


    Yeah I got to start the morning off with stories of 6 months old pimped for crack, so this dude and many many others are beyond deserving of fellatio performed by manual lawn mowers. In fact, can Sebulius get on this already?

    Barbara Perry seems to be spicing up her revisionistish history with dashes of orientalism. I thought the whole point of "change" was to like stop the unpostcolonialism bs.

    Other reasons why i love Michelle Obama


    Her marriage shows that not all black women are baby mamas and black guys run away from their responsibilities. Also her marriage is an example of all people of color...hell all people.. that marriage can a joining of equals who love and respect each other and are willing make sacrifices for relationship and family. Like both Michelle and Obama have said in many interviews, their marriage wasn't always easy and they had to make many sacrifices along the way. She's also an example that you can be smart and successfully and you don't have to dumb yourself them for any man.


    The moral of the story for Jezzies who would like to share their lives with someone either now or in the future, you do not have to settle.

    And yes i agree with Heather Ferreira, Michelle is an inspiration to dark women/women without sons because until you've lived in places with these persasive pressures like Africa, Asia and Latin America you have no idea. I'm from Africa and have lived in Africa for many years and i'll tell you the aftermath of colonialization is still alive and well. There is very overt privilege and benefits to being light skinned and having long hair and people will go through dangerous measures to try and achieve this ideal. Its funny how a lot of African and Indian cultures overlap but sometimes having a darker skin and hold back your ability to move up a cast system particularly in India having fair skin is an asset for single girls looking to get married and telling someone 'oh you're so light' is a compliment.


    Also the pressure for women to have a male child in many Africa/Asian countries is so overwhelming that in some places it is just cause to end a marriage or marry a second wife, if a woman 'cannot' produce a male child. YES seriously, be thankful you live in America because stuff like this happens....and is deemed okay by society.


    Like that Diary show on MTV says "You think you know but you have no idea"

    @Eric Northman is MINE (nee Sookie Stackhouse): the culture of latin america is quite different from the cultures of africa and asia. also, countries vary greatly within latin america. presently, argentina and chile both have female presidents and i never heard of women as a whole in my country feeling pressure to have a male child.

    @raquel8: Yeah i was referring to the lighter skin issue when referencing Latin America. That issue seems to be prevalent in a lot of countries that were colonized. The male child issue as I stated in the last paragraph is more of an issue in some African and Asian countries.

    @Rooo sez BISH PLZ: While I think it is crazy that people let their 17 year olds go with their friends to a spring break hotel, I wouldn't really call at least the St Francis Prep kids "privileged idiots." They go to a good school, but it costs less than 7k a year and a lot of kids are on scholarship. The NYC media has mentioned many of these kids took part-time jobs to pay for the trip themselves.

    I'm really confused, why does Lebanon have an ultra-orthodox Jew running their health department?


    But yeah, if you can't say vagina you shouldn't be in public health. You can be a podiatrist if you want to be in health care.

    The guy (Litzman) is apparently the Israeli health minister. Still an impractical choice, but it at least makes sense politically.
