JLaw did not go to acting conservatory. She was a child star who got discovered as a kid and who, at this point, has been a working actress for years and years more than Lupita.

This will keep happening unless they change their reservation policy. I'm not going to lose $400 for a meal I didn't eat because my childcare fell through. The restaurant is creating perverse incentives.

Lupita JUST had her first role. Geesh, give the woman time to breath! She graduated from acting school barely a year ago! You expect her to have 17,895,765 films in the can and lined up already?

I'm very glad he took those photos. Just as I'm thrilled when I see police officers stopping-and-frisking young Black and Brown men for the crime of being Black and Brown and people are filming it with their camera phones.

I read everything, and my reading comprehension is pretty stellar. I just happen to think your argument is faulty.

You seem to have an issue that the author showed a cross-dressing man who is fat and hairy. I simply don't understand why it would have been "better" to show a non-fat, less hairy guy.

Weren't you the one who posted the pics from their ad? I've never seen mannequins with more buff bodies in my life. You are actually wondering whether this line caters to buff men, seriously? That claims seems disingenuous to me.

I wasn't really making an argument, per se. I was just confused as to why his size and hairiness were mentioned in your comment. Cross-dressers come in all shapes and sizes—-why should a buff cross-dresser be shown any more than a non-buff one?

I'm confused. The first pic of the "fat, hairy" guy can't be a pic of a cross-dressing dude? Cross-dressing dudes can't be fat or hairy?

If the author wants to talk about Black hair she needs to be more informed. She used the terms "unkempt," "untamed," and "wild" in an article talking about Black hair and it's offensive.

I read it as the author saying BI's hair is unkempt. And later in the same paragraph she calls her curls "untamed." I just don't get it since her hair is obviously well-maintained and styled. How is it "untamed"? Very, very odd.

What is a good job?

The discussion isn't natural hair v. not natural hair; the discussion in the article is about hairstyles for Black girls. Braided styles are the norm for Black girls because it's a way to "tame" the hair and get it to lay flat. Bey and J prefer to let BI's hair be loose and curly, which is counter to the norm. Hence…

I hear you. But I think that we need to get away from the understanding that the manipulation of Black hair (or curly hair in general) signifies hair that is "cared for" or hair that is "done." Blue Ivy's hair is obviously well-cared for—-it looks fully moisturized, the curls look bouncy and separated, etc. She didn't…

Perhaps she was being tongue-in-cheek but Black children are often deemed "unkempt" by the powers that be. In majority White schools you'll often seen Black children pressed, ironed, braided, and scrubbed within an inch of their lives because of the pressure Black parents (especially mothers) feel to make sure their…

I think the author of this article needs to check herself. Blue Ivy is in no way "unkempt." That is her natural hair texture. She could have her hair combed or brushed out to temporarily loosen the curl pattern, or have her hair braided in any number of styles, or (heaven forbid) have her hair chemically relaxed or…

Are people dying everyday due to lack of balance beams? Or lack of tumbling during floor routines? Or lack of uneven bars?

I have no horse in this race, but Lena COULD have asked for diversity in casting, including bit players, and she didn't not until she got negative publicity for how White her show is. Now there will be noticeably more diversity.

No, it's not the same thing. Forcing oneself to consume vast quantities of food as a sport when there is so much hunger in the world is just distasteful (pun intended). It is obviously born of extreme privilege, and can only exist in places where food is so plentiful that it's treated like a game.

True. But this woman looks beautiful and not homeless, as the Olsen twins often look. The model is a much more chic, pulled together version of them. What they aspire to be!
