I didn’t say she wasn’t leveling criticism at all. My point was that her criticism was about pointing out a pattern of colorism. I’m also not saying her criticism would hold up. I’m not here to argue her point. What I was explaining was 1. she wasn’t attacking the wives and 2. she wasn’t attacking his wife and 3. she…

...

You are, in two ways: first, don’t be concerned, you have plenty of other ways you can be an ally if that’s your goal than worrying about an internal discussion about colorism. Second, you are still willfully misrepresenting what she stated. She pointed out that all of the women were light-skinned, which supports that…

I’ll turn your question back on you.

Is it colorism to point out colorism? Here’s a hint: is it racism to point out racism?

Well, the long and short of this, is that the default apex of the stratified nature of society for the last howevermany centuries would be Christian cishet white males, and literally any deviation from that is an “other,” so you could be forgiven for not having contemplated the intricacies of otherness, much less…

What you are missing is that she didn’t criticize his choice of wife. She just pointed out the pattern of all of these wives being light. It’s not a flaw on the women’s part, nor a question of their blackness. What is being pointed out is the pattern of preference on the part of the rappers.
Let me also point out that…

She absolutely said that. ‘Better her than me.’ because she knows next week or month it’s gonna be her and probably over some stupid shit she never saw coming, and this is her week to breathe. Years from now, she’ll look back on that comment and see what the rest of see now - an abusive relationship.

I think it’s time for black women to accept that any man who whines about “N***as ain’t sh-t” is doing a “not all men” and he needs to shut the fuck up.

Did I miss read or did the wife say she would rather he harass moody than the her.....wtf also he’s a clear stalker and this is the only way he can go about it because regardless of how small he’s still a recognizable celeb and stalking is all bout power. So he’s getting his fix. A year from now he’ll be on to some…

Sooo many conscious rappers are just misogynistic hoteps (and weirdly but I guess also not surprisingly, also anti-Semites) in disguise. The charade never lasts long for them.

I really used to like this dude as a rapper, but I just can’t with the whiny, misogynistic, incel, hotep bullshit anymore. And its also telling that not a single male rapper told him to have a stadium full of seats, buckle up, and put on his helmet, because he really needs to.

Black people didn’t create the dichotomy, it’s just another cultural symptom of the disease of racism. Light-skinned blacks got better and preferential treatment historically and the threads of that exist today because beauty norms still favor light-skin over dark skin. But it goes beyond beauty into every facet of…

For a guy who has had his current level of fame for over two decades, he’s insanely thin-skinned. He’s been mad at an internet message board for criticizing something he did in 2002 (and rapped about it on College Dropout like it was something to brag about!) He used to spend entire days going after obvious bots and…

Whewwww. This was a necessary and throroughly researched discussion, and I am glad Kweli will find out that the Hoteps who “support” him are not gonna drop coins on him to spout his vitriol. I am glad that Twitter grew some cojones, but minus 25 points for Slytherin for taking so damn long to ban Kweli, and minus…

John Legend had some Legend-esque thoughts

The UK has the National Health Service, so in broad terms, access to and cost of care shouldn’t really be factors in the higher mortality rate of Black mothers (at least not to the tune of 5x).

Muhfuckas always seem to be going through a lot at the time. No matter what the fucking time is. Daytime, nighttime, the future, the past, back to the future, Remember The Time, JFC how much time do these people need?

I am so sick of the Kardashians and their cultural appropriation. I have never seen such useless human beings in my life. 

Meghan Markle has the moral high ground, but does she really have a legal case? I know privacy laws are very different in the UK but I’m having a hard time seeing this as at all winnable for her.
