You make some good points. As a Black woman, I really want to believe what you said about Black people caring. But I honestly don’t know.

He was probably terrified The Fool would go off script and just start saying his usual idiotic foolishness. I guess it’s kinda like when you have a hardheaded child that you KNOW is gonna try it, so you spend 30 minutes trying to put the fear of God in him before you leave the house. Then you spend the whole time waiti…

For me, idk if it’s the way he handled it as much as the why. Bad guy or not, it’s barbaric for him to think “I need to distract from this impeachment thing. I’ll just kill somebody. So what if someone dies and other people’s children have to go to war? It works for me today!”

What an asshole. 

Good lawd, NOTHING on the eyebrows and lips!!! I’m don’t use a lot of makeup, but I’m pretty sure it’s Makeup 101 to create defined eyebrows and at least sheer gloss on the lips. Hell, that’s pretty much the entirety of my makeup routine.

Don’t forget about the ones who will complain that white abusers haven't been brought to justice, but everybody's picking on Black men. They seem to think Black women should wait for justice until there is racial equality for Black men. 

I’ve suffered with depression for years. 2017 was the worst, and 2018 was also a struggle. I’m still struggling, though to outward appearances, I probably appear fine. No one knows the thoughts and feelings I endure daily. It’s so easy to feel like the only person who feels this way. It’s so heartening when other…

This is the first Xmas of my life without either of my parents. It’s been...challenging. Most people understand, but some don’t.

Yeah, this is possibly the most offensive thing he said regrading this issue. Not to mention the dumbest. I mean, certainly he knows Black families made up of a range of skin tones.

Agree completely. Thank you for stating your (and my) position without being insulting, condescending, and divisive. 

This needed to be said. Thank you.

I’m saddened but not surprised that Lupita’s self esteem was affected by not seeing females that looked like her in the media as a child. I often wonder what dark skinned little girls must think when they never see themselves in today’s media driven world.

Unfortunately, no. I’m disgusted by how many people think the sexual assault and abuse of Black women and girls is no big deal when perpetrated by one of their favorite performers.

This out-of-his-mind drunk defense has me feeling some kinda way.

I love everything about this! Black Girl Magic was all thru this article! 😊 

The way this story is presented is disgusting. There’s some real petty, hating, mean girl shit going on here.

Yeah, I think it must be your insecurities.

That’s my question too: how is this not sexual abuse? Of an 8-yr old child, no less. The unauthorized person who “authorized” the search needs their background THOROUGHLY investigated. I’d be willing to bet there’s some slimy, perverted (and probably illegal) shit in their closet.

Love it! More stories like this, please! 

I had the same question. He’s getting a lot of support in this comment section, but it’s interesting that so many people seemed to equate what he said to bisexuality. I think many of us are still trying to learn and understand. But I think it’s good sometimes to check ourselves for stereotypes we unconciously believe.
