Or, christ on a cracker, even as difficult as McEnroe? I bet she wasn't, but god forbid a black woman get angry.

Agreed. I think the "great man" concept is a big problem, if you know what I mean. Older, talented white guys get elevated to "great man" status and then are almost never again seen as humans who can do horrible things. If you're anything else, it's a lot easier to lose your stature.

That's actually a pretty fantastic quote!

I personally will never, ever give money to Woody Allen ever again. Luckily, I also personally feel his movies stopped being funny about 30 years ago, so it's easy for me to avoid them. :) I do feel he's gotten a pass in the public perception that really bothers me. It seemed like everyone rushed to paint Mia Farrow…

IT IS! I also actually like the slight itch on my scalp from the bleach...I may be a little deranged, but I don't care!

Awesome! I'm really looking forward to your write-up!

DOOOOO IIIIIT.

Oh my god...the name "Jarcus" nearly made me shoot coffee through my nose.

I think you may have the perfect response there, honestly!

Yeah, I think that's a really valid concern. I also feel that there's an element to the whole thing of women's bodies not being viewed as their own, which I imagine is much more pronounced for women of color. Hell, part of the reason I cut off all my hair (I had thick blonde hair that I could nearly sit on at one…

I think there is that risk, and I can see why this event might rub a lot of people the wrong way, but I think it could also potentially demystify the whole thing, if that makes sense. I hope what this helps bring about is more people who, through contact, are less prone to exoticising Black hair, and instead see it as…

That's really awesome! Lady knows how to spend her money the right way. :)

I kinda love her, honestly, and always have. She and I NEARLY share a birthday, too...she's about 24 hours older than me! (depending on the time of day she was born...I mean, I like her, but I'm nowhere near weird enough to try to find out what time of day she was born)

Yep! She and I are almost the exact same age...she turned yesterday, me today! I kinda love her, even though I know people might think that's stupid. :)

Aaaaaaand now I have to listen to that.

I've been following this on Twitter, and I am constantly amazed that Lindy is keeping her head up and fighting the good fight. I would have been reduced to incoherent rage long ago. People like that just make me want to scream, over and over, "WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK IS THE DAMAGE IN YOUR HEAD?!" until they give me an…

I am going to boldly declare that a man is a functional adult human who identifies themselves as a man.

Yeah...if his story is 100% true, then he's still a dangerous man who should never be allowed to own a gun. I don't own one, but I have a LOT of friends who do, and the idea of someone not bothering to even confirm that his girlfriend was in bed before firing through a fucking bathroom door (because apparently he…

This is exactly what needed to be said! Thank you!

My Dad is a pretty big dude, about 6 1/2 feet tall, and he said Mutombo made him feel tiny. Also, he's very nice, and as my dad said has a voice "like the clap of doom".
