I actually think much of mainstream media is "better" about it than I see in my everyday life among Black folks. While visiting my brother in ATL for a week I got asked twice, by strangers mind you, if I wanted or needed a hairdresser to "fix" my hair (I wear my hair natural and 90% of the women I saw that week were…

The ABILITY to do something says very little about what people do. We, as human beings, use only a fraction of our intellectual capabilities. Some people are more connected, work harder, are more ambitious, etc. Some people, instead of talking about writing, performing, creating they actual do it. If you aren't as…

Personally, colorism within the Black community affects me more on a day-to-day basis than racism from non-Black people. Sad, but true at this point in my life :-(.

Jokes, by definition are intended to be funny. How is declaring random men and women My BF and My BFF a joke?

My mind is blown.

Calling every attractive man "Your Boyfriend" in at least one headline a week is infantilizing. Feels like I'm reading Teen Vogue or Tiger Beat. Same with the BFF crap with JLaw. Let's grow the F up.

I am fully aware of who the author is. Have been in the same room with her twice actually.

And the "Your Boyfriend" "Your BFF" headlines continue.... Sigh.

As someone who lives in NY, her character doesn't read as rich to me at all. But again, to someone else I'm sure it does. But wealth in NY is so extreme. Lawyers who work at law firms and make $160K a year are considered middle class.

I stopped reading after seeing "According to The Post..."

They were sharp enough to find a loophole and exploit it for their benefit. They sound like most of the well-educated, wealthy, privileged people I know.

The whole "other people could have done this too" bugs me. Other people could have but they didn't do it. I could write the Great American Novel but I'm not.

Simply stated, she looks great. Vogue did a stellar job.

I don't think she was trying for sexy. Perhaps the face is because she's young, writes, produces, and stars in a critically acclaimed show on HBO and is now on the cover of one of the world's premiere fashion magazines in the type of body very rarely on covers like that. I'd be making that face too in her case.

Everything is relative, I guess. I've asked my parents for substantial amounts of money without hesitation and I always thought of my family as middle-class. I'm not what the line is...a certain amount of assets?

My point is that no one should aspire to be an "it girl" because it's a silly thing. Without real talent they blow away in the breeze. I presume Lupita wants a career as an artist, not a bunch of people gushing over her in magazines or talking about who she's dating or taking pics of her in a bikini on vacation. She's…

Slaves, gang members, maids, cab drivers, etc are regular people. Let's not put a hierarchy of people.

I think Viola Davis is one of the most skilled and arresting actors I've ever seen. Ever. Her role in Doubt actually gave me tremors, as in an actual visceral, physical reaction. Her scenes in Prisoners made me cry in a crowded theater.

Yes, most "it" girls are White. But being an "it" girl is just silliness to me, just the media stirring things up to have someone to gossip about. Kristen Stewart was one 2 years ago, now, post-Twilight what's she doing? Same goes with Megan Fox a few years ago—-she was supposed to be the new Angelina Jolie. What's…

That weave needs to be pared down, stat. It's just too, too much.
