I deal with a lot of white people. Some of these white people are straight up racist. Some of them are less racist than others (but still racist). While I obviously have a huge problem with the overtly racist people I deal with, I am not hurt by them because they do not matter to me. I do not…

When I was 19, I married my high school sweetheart. He had never hit me in anyway. Never had yelled at me. He was in the Navy and we moved nearly 1000 miles away from home.

After about a year and a half it became common for him...

As the Virginian-Pilot put it, “Under any other circumstances,...

I’m starting to get annoyed. People are talking about Chris brown. Oh he shouldn’t be getting applause & cheers bc he beat up Rihanna. He doesnt deserve a second chance. Yes what he did was wrong. Totally wrong. Yes he should have gotten more than a slap on the wrist but you shouldn’t be judging someone just for the one bad thing they did. Maybe he regrets it. He deserves...

call you a “stupid bitch”
call you fat/ugly/otherwise attack your body
