Many media outlets are dubiously reporting that the two "danced together," but they really just danced near each other. (And really, Beyoncé danced while Taylor Read more

Somewhat OTP, but I thought of you this weekend when I heard an NPR story about a black kid who had been adopted by white parents in Oregon in 1972. In speaking of the advice he would give white parents adopting a child of another race, he said: "Your first black friend should not be your kid."

This is kind of how I feel about her.
