OP. And that contradictory aspect, where you don’t know what to credit and what to scorn, is quintessential DCUM!

This is solid DCUM advice.

If you don’t like what a PP said, blow it off. PP is clearly a troll.

Also, if OP is asking about something you’ve never experienced, blow it off. OP is clearly a troll.

Bar/Bat mitzvah gifts = cash in amounts of $18. Some will say you have to give $500 some will say none. It doesn’t matter.

Many people on DCUM (probably including me) are confused a lot. It's kind of an ongoing state, regardless of whether we read this thread.

Yes, even brown face makeup on a white person will be considered blackface by many.

Don’t do it. This means you, Karen.



Unless your Lt. Governor is a rapist. Then you can get away with it because there's no one to replace you with.


Well, yeah. That goes without saying.


Y’all missed the revelation this week about the governor of Alabama in blackface. I think she’s probably going to get away with it too.


You’re right. I hadn’t heard of this.
