Historical racism has everything to do with anyone white because we still live in a systemically racist society; you are effectively infected with it whether you want to be or not. 

Thank you. The Root covered this and we were collectively judging white folks as a group. On purpose. To make a point that reached fruition: white people as a group are shocked, horrified, and defensive when they discover POC find their habits subpar; it flips the script of the status quo: whites judging POC. 

She’s got a gorgeous voice and I love her music asthetic.

That looks like a who wore it best lineup! And naturally Obama wins. 

Say what now? What is he sniffing besides himself? Lol it's crazy when they make it easy to swerve. 

AND not be vaccinated while joking about it. 

Trumpers ruin everything. They won’t wear a mask, they won’t get vaccinated, they just plain won't do anything for the good of society. 

Seeing a lot of tears in the greys. Colorism is a topic everybody loves to give lip service to but never has the courage to tackle; it's always a football to be kicked down the road. It truly is a firm brainwashing of virtually all poc.

We must be twins, I feel so gross in the summer after doing my best. I wind up having to peel my clothes off as if I'd gone for a run! Thanks for sharing your ordeal. 

There seems to be a glitch where I can’t star anything. If ever anybody's comment has spoken the truth and earned more than they’ve received, it's this one. Budden has consistently been shit for a long ass time. 

Strongly disagree that black women bellyache too much about ‘a few’ bad men. The problems with men are systemic. Black women should not have to root through the apples. Being discerning doesn’t guarantee bad apples not falling through the cracks. And I’m not talking about virtue signaling for the brothas. I’m talking…

I starred this for the committed level of hate you brought to the table regarding candy corn. 

Former Hyde Park resident where University of Chicago resides, can confirm. 

Where I don’t see the lie, I was addressing the article and therefore what harm white males are capable of doing. Black women don't get space to breathe between either race of man. Sadly. 

To the greys who are addressing things that aren’t the topic of discussion and are meant to foment ill will between bw and bm, stop. Your services aren’t required. DH your comment history shows how little regard you as a white woman have for black women. 

It's called slave holders raping their property, and post slavery male heads of households accosting the hired help, jackass. And plenty of white males currently feel they can be misogynoiristic and hands on with us now. 

And this is exhibit A as to why black women aren't aren't as nearly excited at the idea of dating white dudes. And some of us get burned well into the relationship, which means more pain and humiliation. 

Yours was the best out of all the comments from this thread. Hierarchy behaviors combined with race as an anchor.

Yeah but isn’t Joe Budden supposed to be pure undeniable trash?

When there are so few replies it would be awesome to take the time to review the comments history of those in the greys like sigmapapi and pull them out. Both of us comment at The Root which has been gentrified by white commenters but Jezebel is an echo chamber with no diversity.
