Exactly. This is a valid issue amongst many AAs, but I don’t like it when our business is on front street. Some of the comments on this article are completely idiotic and/or condescending.

Anyone else feel uncomfortable when sensitive issues like these are discussed amongst the masses?

No, it has nothing to do with Asians; it wasn’t “borrowed” from them. Skin color is a complex issue for some subsets (and I reiterate SUBSETS) of the Black community. It’s easy to see why: during slavery, lighter skinned slaves (often the product of rape) were treated better than their darker counterparts (is that the…

My mom didn't know she was pregnant with me until she was 6 months. She had flat abs and drank copious amounts of alcohol during that time. It's a miracle that I was born normal and healthy.

Cue the 50-11 posters complaining about the amount of Beyonce articles.

Thanks...never knew that it explicitly involved sex.

I know 2 sugar babies: one who doesn't have sex with her sugar daddy and another who does. Both make bank. I know of a woman who stripped to pay off grad school. I envy them because I don't think I'd ever have the courage to do something like that (and I am in my early 20's)...the extra income would be nice.

Slightly off topic, but I wouldn't mind being an escort (no sex involved, obvi). It'd be an easy way to make some extra change. If people didn't have such a negative perception of it, I'd totally do it.

In Japan, they are chubby. Remember that this is a totally different culture on a totally different continent. A Japanese person's opinions on what is slim, chubby, and fat are bound to be different than a American's ones.

I still don't understand why Bruno Mars was chosen. The halftime show is going to be awful.

Note that this was maybe 2 or 3 years ago (so we were all 18 or 19) and that we all attended an overly expensive "good" private school.

Am I the only one who likes hand kissing? Not in a "m'lady" sort of way, but in a close relationship way. I kiss the hands of people I'm very close with (be it a sexual or platonic relationship). I saw a pregnant friend who's like an older sister to me recently and I hugged her and kissed her hands (IT'S NOT WEIRD I…

Your comment reminded me of the time I went to a '50's style diner with my (white, female) friends. They were all gushing about how they wished it was the 50's again and when I disagreed, it took them awhile to understand why. Like really...it took them 2 minutes to figure out why a black woman wouldn't want it to be…

I remember when the Chuck Norris meme was ironic and then people started taking it seriously. Good times...good times...

My comment was actually aimed at a few commentators (or is it "commenters"??? I never know) and not you :)

Seriously. You're judging a person based on tweets that are 5 years old. People change...people grow. If my grandma can do it, so can Macklemore.

And Bey can't??

If Robin Thicke wins anything for Blurred Lines, I s2fg I will throw something.

Can anyone explain why Ed Sheeran was nominated? He's been around for awhile (or at least what feels like away).
