Except there is a history of lighter skinned blacks benefitting from skin privilege and that must be owned. Nobody can move forward if we don't acknowledge where the distrust comes from.

I’ve never experienced a misplaced rage from darker skinned women. I think too often there is a triggering narritive that is perpetuated about ‘mean’ ‘jealous’ dark skinned women that would piss me off no end. I interpret that as legitimate venting of grievances. And I have seen light skinned women flex their…

Is that Damon's foot in your avatar?

Now he's jamming his fingers in his ears. As if black women haven't been the daughters, sisters and cousins of black men long enough to have heard their unfiltered conversations regarding asthetics in the opposite sex. I should also include male classmates, because they've never been shy about announcing their…

WHOA... That was a RUSH. Tuning in next week, and strapping in.

Yes, Toure lives to play in traffic, but this time a school bus caught him and learned that behind.

I’ve been doing without cable and broadband, so that is why my hopes are set so high on this. FOX has really been non stop with promos, and am hoping this is an F/X level production they lobbed FOX'S way.

Good to see you on The Root!

I had to force myself into this habit, 

“And for those who aren’t ready to do better: Sit down, shut up, and lie to yourselves instead of lying to us. Because we see you.”

I get it, I get into fight mode sometimes with these specks of dust. Just reply responsibly using the Do Not Release From The Greys methods lol!

In the future, just flag their comments as hate speech, or reply to the article author (or one of your own comments) to respond to trolls in the grey. Replying to them directly lets them out of the greys (should you yourself be ungreyed by The Root). Also, many times they just aren’t worth a response, as they are…

Nobody ever bothers factoring in why historically African American women have not gotten involved interacially to the same degree as black men. People forget that black women were the majority of domestics in this country well into the mid-late 20th century, and the constant threat of rape went along with the…

How the FUCK did he escape the greys and you were in them?!

She may not have time to reach for a gun, so enroll her in a self defense class or/and martial arts.

This thread had me cackling over the 'active' part

I will never be able to unknow this. Also, just listening to conservative programming on am radio stations freaks me out, I don’t think I can handle knowing what my general area neighbors are hatching up. I'd need drugs first.

Sir? SIR. I submit to you that the black church is detroying our ritual macoroni capabilities. I know a COGIC family, who save for their beloved matriarch, cannot make legit mac ‘n cheese to save their souls. I say, that in fact, the practice of having to make massive portions of underseasoned food (to accomodate the…

Toure couldn’t keep from ‘sarcastically’ bad mouthing black women over his marriage to a white person, decades ago. His career surviving this long is testimony voices of black women haven’t mattered since forever. Rest assured Toure is thinking payback is a literal bitch with his misogynoiristic @ss.
