Yeah, no, I cannot compute feeling “ire” at ever seeing a little girl who looks like this or having the nerve to compare this hairstyle—which looks like the girl just got out of soccer practice for fuck’s sake—to minstrel imagery.
This is how a Black girl with 4C natural hair looks after a day of playing around outside and being carefree. All the kids look cute and the “after school” photoshoot theme is unique and adorable. You can lay your kid’s edges to the gawds at 8am and they’ll look like they went through a wind tunnel by 3pm, and that’s…
This isn’t a new thing. I remember all the shit that Gabby Douglas got at the Olympics, mostly from older black women, for not having perfectly styled hair. Girl is doing a back flip on a piece of wood 4 inches wide and landing on one foot, who gives a fuck what her hair looks like?
This must be one of the most beautiful true stories I ever read.
That was a super cool read. Thank you for that!
With that header picture I thought you would at least mention Meghans collaboration with Smartworks to provide wardrobe staples to unemployed women. Why give all that space to this opportunist?
People have labelled the white half of Meghan’s American family as hillbillies and a freak show but I’m building a business the old-fashioned way with hard work and lots of sweat.
Hard agree. I like Joan, but this article is a very bad and dumb take.
Hillary Clinton’s sense of humor is amazing and legendary. Of course she brings up her emails, and your positing that the world has moved on from them is simply incorrect. Trump, Fox and co still bring them up all the time. And if you think we’re all going to refrain from “but her emails...” comments for every moment…
Weird take, from the casual insinuation that her emails were anything but a nothingburger, to the strange tone that seems to insist as though Hillary owes it to all of us to fix the world. Dunno what you were going for with this, but it seems like you’re just griping about Clinton as an extant person.
Glad to know we are still taking the time out of our days to criticize Hillary Clinton
Let a retired bitch be petty, Joan
When Hillary’s not there to read them, the artist should replace her with a butter sculpture because BUTTER EMAILS never, ever gets old.
It’s like being at a party where everyone has moved on to enjoying themselves
Stephens, like all other white men failing up, has never met a bad situation he couldn’t make even worse. I am grateful to Karpf for calling out the editorial board for continuing to publish so many bad takes. Even more grateful for Karpf branding this scandal “Bretbug”.
Maybe it’s because the rest of the news is a constant grind of awfulness, but I kind of love this ongoing slapfight between Actual College Professor and The Living Avatar Of The Dunning-Kruger Effect.
