little children run around a dining room table so fast, they turn into butter.

i'm not sure I get this.

yeah, i grew up with that book sad to say

To answer the thread question, yes, it's racist.

SJP starring as a racist teacher who's forced to write a ten-bullet essay for Bubba Gump on how to resolve racism in Vermont? I dunno, could go either way on that one.

I have my own personal rant about how that kind of cliched film reifies the stance that a passionate teacher fixes every SES problem and reverses all historical baggage
thank u nice wite ladies for JOURNALING even with TEEN PREGNINCE

that's why we don't deserve due process and everything is tied to test scores

blah blha blah inappropriate place to rant

Also srsly no

1. this is just horrible dear lord how did they get a book deal

Didn't realize you hated Hipster Puppies that much

I guess I liked to think there was a real Black dude from I dunno East Flatbush or something who was THAT into healthy eating as a from of subversive self-care.

I want the names and addresses of those four theaters.

i saw thug kitchen once on facebook and assumed it was some white ppl, seemed really racist on the face of, without this "unmasking"

I guess my issue is that it's not like black people HIDE when they do stuff like this, so the complete lack of actual physical presence should be taken as a 95% indicator that here be non-black people

dont see whats racist about it
ordered a thug kitchen 'stop snitchen' tshirt for my nephew from their etsy page last year
here in upscale MA suburbia vegan fusion is breaking in a big way right now

you almost had me until that last bit, nakh

"No snitchin' in the kitchen" aprons, STICHED in Olde English font.... Etsy.com, www.youre-really-clicking-on-this?.com19

uh

The Herald is so bad that this verges on being a non-story

xp to Tuomas

Oh. The person I wrote that comment to also made a Dead Prez reference but I assumed she meant Dead Presidents and I didn't follow that up with any more thoughts.

hey nakh how do you feel about pampered chef

Pretty sure Jerry Holbert's going to be rated around No. 50 or so in the ILX Comics poll.

idk pampered chef is not really a thing around here in liberal ma, it is also a wholly owned subsidiary of berkshire hathaway which is not a good look for me right now
super into rad scandinavian food right now and watching anything related to noma on youtube
rene redzepi is just multiple iterations of next level

my sister threw a pampered chef party and we bought a couple of things

xp the newer bourdain show (parts unknown?) did a pretty good ep on noma if you haven't already checked it out

i want proof that dude's kids were actually using watermelon toothpaste

tbh I've almost bought the kids watermelon toothpaste a few times when looking for travel sized toothpaste

Other flavors I passed on: bubblegum

This was in China tho

why didn't this cartoonist thought of fried chicken toothpaste

the thing I love is that the cartoonist straight up came forward and realized he maybe picked the wrong fruit, but the Boston Herald went with that old college newspaper standard of HE WAS JUST SATIRIZING RACISM SOMEHOW every time some kid doodles a sambo

very constructive post (xpost)

Cartoon was at that level of stupidity and ignorance.

I know you all aren't saying "Well, here's an example of watermelon toothpaste. I don't know what the big deal is." I know this, right?

Yeah but why sink to that level xp

fair enough

I would've all wrote "Hey, Obama! Figure a Socialist like you would be using Arm & Hammer!"

I feel that was half-hearted but I will always root for Osama thumbs-up

my wife found some notes on a comedy sketch in progress (or is it an actual starbucks order???) on the ground by an apartment building up the street.

A friend-of-friend on facebook posted this. The outrage about being sent the wrong donor sperm is in the right, but making a case that it's extra damaging because now they have a black kid in a racist town is... uhh...

"I don't want her to ever feel like she's an outcast," Cramblett told NBC News.

Not all her friends and family members are racially sensitive.

Sorry, I can't babysit for my grandchild because she's black? jesus christ
