7 blockbuster movies you didn’t know are just as racist as Birth of a Nation You may have enjoyed these in their day, but modern reflection imparts a troubled sense of something being very, very wrong.
In a white supremacist society, there are going to be a lot of movies with overtly racist themes. Just think Song of the South, Birth of a Nation, every movie ever made by Spike Lee, The Wizard of Oz, etc etc. But these movies are not what this list is about. No, what this list is about are those films that you probably watched and enjoyed as a young, naïve person because they were far more subtle with their racism. The movies in which the racism isn’t an obvious plot point, but an underlying assumption — which honestly is probably the most terrifying and dangerous kind of racism there is.…

Nobody cares about your sex and drugs, boomer You tried to make your article sound like Hunter S. Thomson. Instead, you're Oprah Winfrey reenacting Fifty Shades of Grey.
You’ve seen the headlines. A journalist goes into detail about an orgy that she participated in. Suddenly her article appears on Salon. Perhaps someone at The Guardian wants to tell you how great MDMA is. If the stars align and the journo, for a moment, feels a little self-aware about just how drole he/she/it is, they just ramp it up and start literally chugging down semen while blogging every disgusting detail (VICE is obsessed with body fluid drinking in particular). If I were a teenager now, reading these types of articles would make me want to go to church. What we are seeing is the Stepford Wives version of Party…

You are beautiful just the way you are. Join the No Makeup revolution. Months of my life were wasted on this pointless ritual before I realized that slathering our skin organ with industrial byproducts is the Chinese footbinding of our age.
When I was in high school, I had a religious experience. I can’t explain why, but one day I stood transfixed in front of the mirror, and something hit me from high above — or beyond. WHY? Why am I wearing all this makeup? Why do I cake the living organ that is my skin with toxic barely-invented-yesterday chemicals? Why do I go through this bullshit routine every day when I am perfectly aware that time is our most valuable currency? I hated putting it on, hated how my skin felt while it was on, and of course: hated having to take it off (god have mercy on you if…

Poop buddies: here’s what happens to couples who poop with the door open “Did I just hear a plop?” Just like with the first fart, this moment is pivotal in determining the next stage of your life as a couple.
When you first begin dating someone, you attempt to pull off an Oscar-worthy acting performance by pretending you’re the easiest person to be around, because you have no flaws. Those flaws include not worrying about money when going out on a date, being down for anything just to impress this person and being devoid of normal bodily functions. The latter of which is surprisingly one of the toughest benchmarks to overcome in your attempt at turning this whole thing from dating into a real, long-lasting relationship. You see, at some point the other person is going to understand that you don’t have the finances for fancy Italian dinners where the…

Your child, a far-right extremist? The early radicalization signs no one told you about The calm before the racist storm: reach out for help if you spot two or more of these lesser known warning signs.
Folks, we need to talk about your sons. The UK has seen a 74% increase in far-right referrals to the government’s anti-radicalization program, and similar numbers are seen in America and other western nations as well. The majority of the hate incidents are caused by boys and young men led astray and radicalized into the far right by toxic online rabbit holes. The main problem is that, while our governments and NGOs are doing excellent work trying to stamp out hate, they simply don’t have the human resources and agility to educate about early onset far right radicalization. Adult folks simply aren’t hip to the esoterica of zoomer culture and…

10 questions to ask before saying “I do” He's about the pop the question—but first you need to ask a few of your own.
He’s about to pop the question, but first you need to ask a few of your own. In 1001 Questions to Ask Before You Get Married, author Monica Mendez Leahy hopes couples will probe into their partners’ psyches before they say “I do.” Some may seem silly: “Are you a light or heavy packer?” Or simple: “Do you consider yourself a morning or night person?” but they all provide insight into your mate’s habits and characteristics you’ll be living with, well, forever. And though Leahy stresses the importance of each question, we asked her to pick her top ten most important questions to ask before hitching up. Let’s roll them…

And let’s film it!” OK, so your partner has never approached you with a bedroom request quite that elaborate…at least, one would hope he hasn’t.
