See, men, here’s the thing you don’t get: You’re not entitled to *shit*. Not a fuckin’ thing. You’re not entitled to a girl’s body, attention, time, you-name-it. She doesn’t appreciate your hitting on her and *dares* to say so? Yep, she can do that, and if your first reaction is “that bitch!”,…

I hate it when people say Obama won in 2008 because he’s black, insinuating that only black people voted for him.
As of 2010, the demographic breakdown of the country looked like this:
Ignoring the fact that blacks only make up 12% of the population, and suggesting we live in a perfect world where everyone votes, there aren’t even enough minorities for him to win just for...

Why they have her portray Pocahontas though? I think Pocahontas was Powhatan. And this girl is from the Umatilla nation…. those are two complete different sides of the country and two different groups.
That’s just too easy (and stereotypical). Like really? They could have did better than that…

Schiff, 46, is facing another kind of jam this year: Paid a lower bonus, he said the $350,000 he earns, enough to put him in the country’s top 1 percent by income, doesn’t cover his family’s private-school tuition, a Kent, Connecticut, summer rental and the upgrade they would like from their 1,200-square- foot Brooklyn duplex.

This is the big news of today and I haven’t seen it all over the place yet! The Navajo Nation (who has trademarked their name) is suing UrbanOutfitters. The suit is based on trademark infringement and violation of the Indian Arts and Crafts Act. This is going to be an awesome case!
It’s great...

abaldwin360:
WASHINGTON (CNNMoney) — Wall Street is pushing to stop a new rule that would crack down on speculation in the energy markets, which many blame for contributing to the spike in gas prices.
The new rule — part of the 2010 Dodd-Frank Act to reform Wall Street — would set limits on how much traders can buy, preventing firms from grabbing large chunks of the energy market.
But those...

The Republican Brain: Why Even Educated... →
Buried in the Pew report was a little chart showing the relationship between one’s political party affiliation, one’s acceptance that humans are causing global warming, and one’s level of education. And here’s the mind-blowing surprise: For Republicans, having a college degree didn’t appear to make one any more open to what scientists have to say. On the contrary, better-educated Republicans...

This isn’t news, and especially not to those from communities of color, but it’s good to share:

All Best Actress winners since 2002 have been white (since Halle Berry became the first Black woman to win for “Best Actress”).
No winner in any acting category during the last ten years has been Latino, Asian American, or Native American.
Oscar winners and nominees of color make fewer movies per year after their nominations than their white peers do.
