Here's how the woman described this interaction:

"I almost made it all the way to my office in peace this morning when I passed these two businessmen who loudly faux-whispered 'Minnesota chicks are HOT' at me. I wish I had the composure to remind them that some day we may be across from one another in a professional setting, and that this type of interaction makes it hard for me to feel like I would be treated with professionalism and respect. But in the meantime, he got my card and a brief conversation about why making those kinds of comments to women as they walk by make them uncomfortable."

In response to the killing of an unarmed black teen in Ferguson, Missouri, and the biased media coverage of the victim that followed, young people of color on social media began wondering how they might be portrayed if the same happened to them. These pictures are powerful reminders of how stories get told in America.

The image on the left is the image of shooting victim Michael Brown that many media outlets used in the aftermath of the killing. The image on the right is another that surfaced on social media.

These tweets only scratch the surface; thousands have shared their pictures. Check out the #IfTheyGunnedMeDown hashtag on Twitter and also, if you're interested in how this happened and what it all means, here are some good articles to read.

This pretty much says it all: "When you bring your gun to a restaurant, don’t be black."

Video from "The Daily Show With Jon Stewart."

In 2014, a policeman in Ferguson, Missouri, fatally shot Michael Brown multiple times. Michael was unarmed.

In 2012, James Holmes walked into a theater in Aurora, Colorado. James was armed. That day, he shot 12 people dead and injured 70.

Guess how the media reacted?

The selection of these two photos and their juxtaposition serves a maniacal purpose. The media are a pack of vultures pic.twitter.com/xBBKjXpuwl

This isn't an isolated incident. Far from it, as this Huffington Post article lays out, as does my fellow curator Erica Williams Simon in this post.

Do we need any more proof that people will be treated differently because of their race?

Try it at your office. Or just try thinking like it.

The evil geniuses at Funny or Die (I'll take funny!) made this fantastic GIF set with a joke AND a point. Great. Good work.

This also had a former life as a video on Upworthy, where Adam unabashedly refers to Christina Hendricks as "that lady from 'Mad Men.'"

As a kid, it might be kind of embarrassing if your father is known as Poop Guy. But if I were the daughter of this particular Poop Guy and heard what he says at 0:27, I'd totally own it and be like, "Yeah, Dad! That's MY dad!!"

The great #2 can feel silly to talk about, but Swapnil Chaturvedi is right: It’s natural and shouldn’t be taboo. We gotta talk about it! This particular video about India’s poop situation comes from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. Related: I like that the word poop is a palindrome.

When a community's response to serial rape allegations is to publish a list of ways women can avoid being raped, there is gonna be outrage, because, duh. This infographic is cleverly disguised as sarcasm, but make no mistake: It stems from outrage about the systemic problem of blaming women for crimes perpetrated against them.

Seriously, though. This chart is based on real advice doled out from police departments and community organizations alike.

In this GIF set, singer/songwriter/rapper/shero Lauryn Hill reflects on an interview with her Fugees bandmates. While Lauryn laughs the whole thing off, I couldn't help but think of how "funny" it is that women outside the music industry also get these types of soft questions. I mean, there's nothing wrong with looking good, but what's going on in a woman's head is interesting too!

This GIF set was created by Tumblr user stankonia from the 8:00 mark of this video from "MTV's The Masters: Lauryn Hill." If you're a fan or if you just like good music, it's worth watching the full episode because it's got lots of great performances and stories behind the music. While the episode is no longer on MTV's site, YouTuber Bassline uploaded part 1, part 2, and part 3 if you wanna check it out!

There's only one reason rape occurs, and that's when someone decides to commit rape. A Twitter user made that point loud and clear, dropped the mic, and exited the stage like a boss.

Here's the original poster.

And here's what the poster should have said.

The wonderful mind of neverjessie created this poster. Follow neverjesse on Twitter.

Delightful Brit and talk show host John Oliver has little something to say about predatory lending (you know: car title loans, payday loans, and the like). As usual, it's something you should listen to. Pay special attention to the exchange at 7:50 between politician and payday loan chain owner Gary Elkins and Vicki Truitt, a lady I wanted to send a muffin basket to (that is, until I learned what she did less than a month later).

Original by "Last Week Tonight With John Oliver."

I'm a war veteran, a Southerner, and an African-American, and everything inside me cries out in pain that almost every state in the South still celebrates a Confederate holiday. As a veteran, I can understand the noble desire to honor those who heard their country's call and paid the ultimate price, but that's what Memorial Day is for.

Don't get me wrong — I have a ton of Southern pride. There are so many things to be proud of: our music, our food (oh, the FOOD!), our architecture, our hospitality... But I can't be proud that so many states celebrate fighting a war in order to keep people like me in chains — and spend tax dollars to do it.

Wondering about Alabama? Sure enough, Alabama (plus Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, and Mississippi) celebrates Robert E. Lee Day on Jan. 19. Since Martin Luther King Jr. Day is the third Monday of January, they don't always line up. But they often do.

That first line could have gone either way, but I'm glad it turned out to be a poem about science. Think about all the great stuff science can accomplish. Now double it. Now get to work! Science doesn't do itself.

I could totally get why someone would want to go to Antarctica. I didn't imagine it would be to perfect a penguin impression...

Another pitch-perfect video by John Oliver for "Last Week Tonight." There's so much more where that came from.

Here’s a “revolutionary” beauty secret that can transform us all into picture-perfect supermodels ... that is, if we all want to look totally unreal.

This fantastic slice of satire was created by filmmaker Jesse Rosten. For more of his delicious humor on hard-to-swallow subjects, follow him on Twitter.

Wouldn't it be terrific if we stopped having this conversation because sexual assaults stopped happening?
