I didn't say it was people of color who always make things about race. I said it was commentators on Jezebel.

That's awesome. Though, I wasn't a gender studies major or minor either. I took a lot of theory and women based studies, but no gender studies specifically. I'm thinking that's why we spoke in broader terms. And I did read up some. I'm going to read up more. From my preliminary reading, though, it's clear that a lot

I don't understand, isn't the perfect world without racism one in which people aren't divided?

This was kind of my point. It's one thing to say that there are different types of feminism, it's a-whole-nother thing to say that there isn't a basis in the idea of feminism as a gender neutral (read equal) society. Like I said earlier, most of my women studies were broad (I was an english major) and my theory

Not the collective black women. No. But, a lot of people on this site, yes.

It seems that when I was taught feminist theory and in all my women study classes it was taught as feminism. We discussed feminism within other cultures, but never separated the two. I have read black feminists including Alice Walker and the like- but it was never separated for me. Which is strange because I've had

Sorry, I'm worked up over how many people were mad about the beyonce coverage and saying that no one was questioning white entertainers like Jennifer Lawrence and the like. I've quarantined myself from Jezebel for while now. again, my apologies.

I wasn't offended by you. I was offended that you had to say you were white. You shouldn't have to stick up for being white and appreciating beyonce. I'm annoyed that people are making this a race issue. It isn't. But, you know, whatever. It's the internet.

how sad that you have to identify yourself as white, as if that's a caveat to liking a black woman's music. Jezebel commentators, you've won, white people are now apologizing for any opinion that involves a POC, even compliments.

See? I can take or leave Beyonce, but this comment made me go, "yeah, that is pretty awesome of her." Thanks for the comment that didn't attack someone or call someone a racist jerk for having an opinion.

ummm... apparently (only in recent memory) you've missed the miley coverage?

Amen. This whole make everything about race crap is really making me not want to read jezebel. It's doing more to perpetuate racism. It's kind of even creating new instances of racism. Like, now, I've learned that white and black people have separate forms of feminism.

I deleted this response because I'm so tired of this shit.

I love all of this. I came to the comments with bated breath- thanks for some well articulated thoughts. I agree to your points as well.

Honestly, I think it's weird that no one thought about this. Every time I watch a period movie I always think "wow, their teeth would be so gross." I think Django Unchained actually had some people with nasty teeth.

wow.

I agree. Once I realized she is working through some serious personal issues, I decided to just stop commenting (aside form this). She really should just back away from the internet and media and find some help. I'm done feeling offended or judging her. She is sick.

I agree. I think she's a brilliant brand, but as far as her music, it's just, well, meh to me. that being said, you posted this on jezzie, so you're about to get the wrath of the holy bey vag alliance. may god have mercy on your soul.

awwwww shucks. :)
