    In reply to Andrea Peyser, Lesbian Racist
    I don't find Andrea Peyser particularly racist; just annoying, presumptuous, and judgmental in the way some white people can be when talking about non-white people. I mean, it's simplification to suggest that any one thing a parent did led to their child being dangerous (and ultimately dead), but I think- black or white- we can all agree this woman was a shitty parent and at least is partially responsible for her son's fate.

    And I also don't think it's ridiculous to suggest people who live in the effing ghetto adjust to more strict standards for how they bring up their children, especially if they feel that negative influences are literally everywhere.

    And I'm sorry, is the lack of present fathers (or father-figures) in the lower-class black community some kind of secret? I've had people straight ask me to my face if I had a father, for no other reason than that I'm black...

    @TheMac: Thank you, I think you nailed it. It's that basic assumption that, well, this is what worked for me (assuming it did work for her) so you should do it too. "I didn't have to go to college to be a success so why should you?" "I went to college and you should buckle down and do the same or else you won't succeed in this society." Everybody's got a line on how life should be run.

    If you don't find her racist, I shudder at what you DO consider racist. Do you also think all black kids should be shackled?

    But you missed the Good News in her column! Catholic priests molest children at a rate NO HIGHER than the general population.

    Sneak peek at Peyser's column tomorrow:
    "Idi Amin was a black father of something like, I don't know- 40 or so children who were also black. They were really dark black, too. You know the kind- not like the tokens in the Ralph Lauren ads. You don't see anyone popping a cap in Idi Amin's kids. So it *can* be done, black dads. Step up to the plate."

    That picture of her is unfortunate, its plainly obvious she was beat around the head and shoulders with an ugly stick. And whats up with the stupid fake cat ears? horrifying.

    Take Federico Grullon. He won't allow his three kids to leave the house.

    "No friends. You go to school to get your work done, then come home," he said.

    This sounds like a recipe for getting shoved in a locker on a daily basis.

    The United Jewish Appeal has started Connect to Care, which already has given more than 8,000 needy Jews financial services, job help and mental-health counseling to get through unfamiliar territory.
    Just don't be surprised when we cut them open and discover they're not really jews.
