Melissa Harris-Lacewell

[UCKABAH]

Love this woman.

[hhhhieert]

Dam she's fine...and smart

[116Eggleston]

she is so pretty and smart. she is the woman of my dream.

[david030491]

Her ability to be so academic and personable at the same time astounds me. She's absolutely amazing.

We all are Children of Adam and Eve Relations.... The Proof is attainable Mrs Lacewell So why does Planed Parenthood spend so much mony to send the message to women of color.. "If you get pregnant due to sex out of wedlock just come see us" why not teach marriage and abstance

[meb025]

@abdulwalee The Abstinence only thing doesnt work. It doesnt address the girls who get pregnant. You can "teach" someone all day, whether they listen is their constitutional right. Its legal to get pregnant out of wedlock, its legal to have choices. Get rid of shame is the overall story. Ish happens, people have been getting pregnant since the dawn of man, and have exercised birth control/abortions as well. Marriage is a social/economic contract and can be viewed independent of kids.

[Geezyone]

MHL is tremendous, I am a huge fan of her's.

[supermike2164]

Such a sexy fool! I can't belive this woman looks so good but is so crazy. I've seen her comentary from time to time and she just doesn't understand universal survival function is the standard that can't be deviated from.

[Ob5erV3r]

@supermike2164 Have you published work in this area? Why exactly are you an authority on this topic? Please tell me you aren't just some guy on a PC making comments about an accomplished professor of a prestigious university?

[Ob5erV3r]

@supermike2164 (continued) Please tell me you are someone considered an authority on diagnosing clinical "crazy" -- a physician...maybe? How is it a crazy lady has more speaking engagements than "supermike2164"?  So yes, please when you are someone worth listening to...explain "Universal survival function."

[supermike2164]

@Ob5erV3r WOW I made these comments over 8 months ago and I still feel the same way about this attractive idiot! Your arguments to support her are very weak and illogical. just because someone has speaking engagements doesn't mean their points are functional. Just because a person may be a homeless bum on the streets who likes to engage in a debate or two at the library computer doesn't that person's viewpoint or suggestion meaningless.

[Ob5erV3r]

@supermike2164 However, in most Universities, when an presentation is made, be it written or verbal and you (the contributor) are not a "Recognized authority" you must provide what is called a "References", OR "Works Cited" page. This because if the contributor wants to be taken serious they must provide its audience some assurance that what they are saying is credible...So then, what published work do you have on the topic of "Universal Survival". I'd like to read it...lol (sike).

[supermike2164]

@Ob5erV3r #1 your a dumbass for even asking for that on youtube!! #2 I guess I'm just as bad as you because I keep responding to this old point!  Bottom line is Your standards are irrelavent when they conflict with the way things ACTUALLY function in REAL LIFE. Because that conflict will eventually cause your standards to become obsolete and useless. Who and what has authority to make something or someone "CREDIBLE" in your view?

[supermike2164]

Respond to this video... Universal survival function is the idea that everything that exist living or otherwise has to complete similar functions in order to maintain its level of existence. for example if I want to fly I need to develop something that will function as a counter to gravity and give me control it doesn't matter if I am a bug, a bird, a human.

[Xerxal]

It is sickeningly hypocritical to be so concerned for the rights of minorities while caring nothing about the mass murder of the helpless unborn.

[capoeiraike]

@Xerxal LOL! Are you christian?

[Xerxal]

@capoeiraike Yes.

[capoeiraike]

@Xerxal No wonder

[Xerxal]

Attempting to control your reproductive capacity by murdering your own child does constitute bad mothering. Conspiring with others to kill your own baby is not only worthy of public shame, but I think such people should be tried and executed for such a grievous crime against the most defenseless members of humanity.

Her whole speech is a total joke. It amazes me how someone so educated can be so dense.

[ilikepiesandmuffins]

@Xerxal If your mythical God didn't have such a stronghold on your humanity and didn't blind you so terrifyingly much, then maybe you would understand!

Christian fundamentalists are terrifying idiots.

[Xelanderthomas]

legislated shame - I've never heard it put that way but that is exactly what Jim Crow was. This lady is brilliant.

[FuckUtube2008]

does anybody know how old melissa is?

[thoughtful]

Not only is she awesome, her mother who she talks about in this speech is awesome too. (Her mom is on Twitter too.)

[HottestCoupleEver]

Love her!

[Mams31383]

Seriously....she is so amazing. Every time I watch her I am more and more impressed.

[TheBlueConch]

She has a beautiful heart and face.

[cc2blu]

Her instinctively brilliant awareness of the challenges faced by women of color is refreshing to the insightful ear.

[Mams31383]

well said

[2000yrCatholic]

planned parenthood eugenics and

racism on youtube might suprise you.

[Mams31383]

oh please. move past the talking point. margaret sanger is totally irrelevant (I am not saying you are right). PP is an invaluable health service. Do you have an alternative?? Perhaps sexual education and providing condoms and birth control?? This is reality. People have sex. Prevention and education.

[nolaeast]

Ok, so she is pretty, articulate, intelligent and extremely sexy. What I like most about Melissa Harris Lacewell is her sense of humor. She is one big sexy smile.

[dcas0723]

most definitely, really sexy

[DeuceMP2]

One of the sexiest women in the world.

[annaleighclark]

This is a fantastic speech. I'm an MHS fan, but I was really startled by how insightful this is.

[freesoul2005]

The first thing feminists need to do is advise women to be stop being gold-diggers, and earn their livelihood for a change

There r so many lazy ass, gold diggers in our society

[toosinbeymen]

Very cool. Ms. Lacewell really gets to the kernal of race and gender relations we are experiencing now in America. I'm a HUGE fan.

[Mams31383]

fancy seeing you here!!! whoa, random lol. It's ladyfriend.
