Bro, do you ever have the urge to hump a couch or an ottoman?



I guess this why I see plastic covers on couches over at black people house's.
Ottoman? You mean Turks? Ottoman Empire has been dead for almost 100 years bro.

I just heard this re-broadcast on my local NPR channel, and my head just assploded while I was driving. Am I racist for feeling like there is a massive double standard here? The entire segment...I just don't have words. Especially that video, LOL.

KC Group Fights Breast-Feeding Disparities With Education, Support | KCUR

Culture Specific

That?s where Uzazi Village steps in, to try and normalize breast-feeding in the black community. One way is through mother-to-mother support here at the Chocolate Milk Caf?, the only breast-feeding support group in Kansas City that?s exclusively for African-American women. Payne says Uzazi serves women of all races, but at the root the organization is culture specific. Its purpose is to address maternal health disparities in the urban community, and Payne says, that usually means African-American women.

"Notice that there were other Caucasian people here, but they did not join the circle. That is purposeful," says Payne. "We're trying to create a safe space, what I like to call a 'sacred environment' that is just for them so that they can nurture one another, they can heal, they can rejuvenate. They can talk safely, speak about all the harm that has been done to them, process it, take up a healthy attitude, healthy behaviors and go on."

Part of developing a "healthy attitude" is seeing images that look like them. Payne says a lot of literature around breast-feeding and infant care shows pictures of Caucasian babies and women. But she says black women can?t relate to that.So she displays photos and uses multimedia presentations of African-American women breastfeeding, like this one:


Maybe it's just me though, I dunno.

Well, I think the group's overall goal, of promoting breast feeding, is a good thing.

I guess the only thing it could be is that there are some racist beliefs inherent in the issue, like them feeling it is "white" to breastfeed and they don't want to "act white", so by excluding white women they cut down on that. Kind of like how marriage is seen as a "white" thing. Beliefs like this are both racist and deeply hurtful to their own communities. Pretty sad.

Both of these things are relevant to my interests.



I really don't understand the public breastfeeding argument. There are bodily functions which you do not partake in in public spaces in polite society. I don't think it's wrong for a woman to breast feed, I do think there is a place for that to happen and that place is not "in front of everybody". We are not a pack of god damn savages.

It's not even about the titties. I do think it's a silly concession to modesty to require women to cover their nipples in public. It's the act. That is a private act -- ain't nobody wants to see that shit and the people that do, those are the ones you need to be concerned about.

Fucking sexual perverts.

The fuck? Let bitches breastfeed wherever they want/wherever their baby wants to feed. Doesn't bother me. Assigning morality to a basic bodily function is the truer sign of savagery.

Pretending that they aren't is the truer sign of dumb.

That's where the argument always tries to deflect, into this puritan boogeyman. Taking a shit is not immoral. But when a bum pops a squat behind the 7-11 you don't stop and think, "How enlightened!" Bodily functions.

Take the pussy, and the titties, off the pedestal.

They're not on a pedestal. Urinating/defecating pose issues for sanitation and odor. As far as the puritan boogeyman, you brought it up by ascribing this behavior to savagery, not me.

Women's breasts are only taboo because of your cultural prejudice. Moobs are more disgusting by far, and fat dudes are allowed to walk about with their manifold creases dripping sweat.
