slow clap....... THANK YOU. I'm not as sick of HER as I am of the overly gushing COVERAGE of her EVERY MOVE and being consistently told how she's perfect and how I need to adore everything about her. That's a real quick way to get people to start noticing that she's NOT perfect.

It was not my intention to offend. To the degree you detect snark, exasperation and annoyance in my post it's not with you. It's just frustrating to live in a culture that insists on downright erasing everything that I am. (It's a tough business being a kinky-haired black girl in a culture that stubbornly insists…

Yes, yes. Black women's hair is just soooo unmanageable that we simply MUST change it...you know, for the sake of continuity. I am a kinky-haired black woman. And I can assure you that such hair doesn't necessarily curl the same way from MINUTE-TO-MINUTE. Anything from a big gust of wind to a bit of humidity…

Sorry to burst your natural hair bubble. But that's a wig; and a bad wig at that. WHY OH WHY is Hollywood so averse to black girls' hair? Seriously? Do they really have to slap some phony faux-natural-looking wig on a girl with a head full of hair? It's like a demented reflex "There's a black girl! Quick! Cover…

Thanks for enlightening us. I was under the impression that posting my opinion on the interwebs would spin the universe back in time and undo her surgery while also creating an alternate universe where her eyes would remain as I see fit for all eternity. Damn! You really burst my bubble with this nugget of genius.

PRECISELY! And Oprah Winfrey became the most powerful woman EVER in televised media while being a fat, dark-skinned, black woman with a broad nose and all sorts of "ethnic" features. The problem I have with this is that Julie Chen is giving white people's "preferences" waayyy too much power in her effort to…

Who's that girl, what's her name, is she cool, is she lame, oh you're talkin' 'bout whatshername Pepper Ann! Pepper Ann! Is she lame, is she cool is she breakin' every rule, is she anybody's fool. Pepper Ann!

Well, after all of this, I was just thinking that this has been a pretty good learning experience for me. I apologize for any unnecessary snark in the tone of my postings. I had just had it up to my eyeballs with black-women-targeted misogyny.

I don't get that. You can't change your opinion based on comments from people you don't know, but you created an opinion about black women based on Taye Diggs' comments. Do you know him? Again, why is HIS point of view about black women privileged over the thoughts, actions and behaviors of ACTUAL BLACK WOMEN. I…

It's amazing that once black men enter the picture, sisterhood goes flying out the window. Listen here, white lady. You are a woman. You have certainly been on the receiving end of some man creating a fiction of "crazy women" to justify his own bad behavior. If a rape victim speaks out, and the man comes back with…
