White men get all the passes. I have seen more criticism of Warren than of all despicable things Trump does by white men and women, even by people that claim to strongly dislike him. The subconscious need to excuse away anything a white man does seems so ingrained.

It works for me. A black woman that works for every penny I have to spend, has no past or future inheritance, and needs to continue to build skills to advance.

This is a lie. The UK has not confronted their past sins and many of their citizens still hold similar views about Africa and fondness for that time. I won’t even bother mentioning the states that is still steeped in racism and seems ignorant of its sown history. Not sure which of those countries have fully accounted…

Bodies are amazing in their diversity. I am 5’7 and post-baby I was about 200 lbs and wore a size 12-14. I wonder how they even come up with averages.

Y’all can be exhausting as hell. 

I like AOC as much as the next person, but I find it a bit strange Jezebel and Splinter act as her defacto PR site.

That response is dumb. It is such a weird list. How do two TV shows, none of which are American, denote “white American culture”? I can’t believe that many people agreed. I hope to goodness no black people are involved and are they are just white people with limited views of what blackness entails.

I see through their bullshit. If one is really concerned with destructive powerful people that have an actual harmful impact on people’s lives, Alice Walker is not the one to focus on. But, this is white people’s MO: ignore their own bullshit while looking for ways to pathologize black folks.

Live Alice Walker alone. Please go and end the massive, destructive, and with power behind it racism and discrimination in your own communities before you turn your eyes to Alice Walker.

Cardi B is the selected black woman / woman of color. She seems like a ton of fun and wish all the best for her, but weary of white women’s propensity to select one female of color toy to play with and love until they get tired. Then they proceed to tear them down to make room for the next one they select as there can…

I was with you until this part of your comment “Whether she was racist (which to me is hard to believe, since shes willing to sleep and party with them)”. If you are black, you k now better than to suggest someone wanting to sleep with you means they are not racist.

My tone was snarky and with good reason. I am tired of the Canadian gaslighting when it comes to race. Canadians are no better than Americans and quite worse when it comes to denying racism exists while being racist.

Many parts of Ontario are the same or worse than upstate NY. Not sure why that commenter is pretending otherwise. Ontario elected a PC government that has been enacting a bigoted agenda. The pretense that Canada is some progressive oasis minimizes the real actual harm marginalized folks are experiencing in Canada.

So you live in Ontario? The Ontario where the PC’s won the election and are enacting a bigoted agenda? You are really still trying to keep up the pretense that you are living in some progressive oasis? Minimizing the real actual harm marginalized folks are experiencing in Canada because it makes you feel good to…

You forgot the qualifier “white” before men.

It seems the girlfriend and the friends that called the cops are all white. Not sure how else to make it clear to white people that calling the police on black people ends in death if they don’t even take that into account for the black folks they love.

I know you mean well, but stories like these in black spaces are beginning to annoy the fuck out of me. 

Yawn. I see white women are out here on Jezebel showing their asses again.

Don’t believe those fools. They don’t believe themselves.
