    I once swapped a $6 Walmart rayon aloha shirt for a $60 Tommy Bahama silk shirt at a Buffett show. I traded up!

    I don't know Issa Rae from Eve, but she just scored a $40m development deal.

    Serious question. Why is this posted here? She's had two successful series, "The Misadventures of an Awkward Black Girl" and "Insecure." And both were light years better than "Girls."

    None taken. I thought maybe there was some kind of shenanigans at HBO.

    Here’s what pisses me off about America”s racists, you want us immigrants to do the labor you need but then you want to discard us like we aren’t human. How do you reconcile that?

    My “non racist” friend today: “Are you going to be ok with it when you are the minority?”
    Me: “you asking that makes it pretty clear you agree there’s some disadvantage to being the minority.”
    The person went on to ask why they don’t speak English. I asked if her descendants (Italian ) spoke English when they got here.
    The person is over 70. I imagine typical for people over that age.

    Excellent student-reported story about the Klan at Harvard, including a shocking photo of a group of graduating seniors dressed in hoods and that a cross was burned in Harvard Square in 1954.
