If I had the choice, I would've visited A Subtley. But I'm also a black woman that loves challenging art. I'm one kind of black woman, and doit2julia! is another. She has the right feel uncomfortable about something. It doesn't mean she doesn't "get it."

I read the piece you linked. While I respect the opinion of another individual, it is in fact that: the opinion of an individual black person.

The writer frequently uses the term "we" when I think he should've just stuck with "I."
I think there's an impulse to maintain black solidarity so we can gain more recognition,…

I read about this on IMDb a few days ago. My first thought was, "Yeah, no metal undies!" My second thought was, "Defending the universe in heels?" My third thought was that while I'm sure Gal Godot is capable, she doesn't appear to be...strong. Meaning, she's quite lean, and probably needs to put on 15lbs. of muscle…

5/6: Pretending to "cook" by tossing every herb, spice, dietary aid, and condiment into a large pot while my mother was asleep. I was just churning away, pretending to be on my own cooking show. She found it the next day smelly, sticky, and rotted.

10: I developed a special technique of cooking hotdogs in the microwave…

This. This, my fellow Jezzies is why we have children. So we can make fun of them when they screw up.

Yeah, yeah they're burdensome and exhaust your time, money, energy, etc. It's the never-ending marathon of parenting until you die yada yada...

If we could award the parent/teacher/questionably responsible adult who…

It's like you're Bizarro Lifehacker.

I don't even think it would take disease. If we have to wait in a subway car longer than ten minutes, an entire city could be taken down.

Can you be a little more precise about what I'm reading too much into? I don't understand. Or were you just using that phrase because it's used so often, it's meaningless.

I've decided for myself how I want to cook. You've decided for yourself how you want to cook.* I don't understand what these decisions have to do…

Lately, I've noticed more than a few recipes, cooking shows, and cookbooks centered around the concept that cooking is not a skill that women should have for self-fulfillment and economic stability. You're never cooking for yourself. No, cooking is always for other people.

I've been cooking since college. I was a skill…

Why, oh why does this remind me of The Bluest Eye?

I will never forget that summer I thought my ass crack was worth showing while standing.

I love her, and I love that she's bringing up the lack of diverse roles for older women. But Viola Davis is 49 and Meryl Streep is 65. Subtract black-don't-crack years (10) and Viola is in a completely different generation from Meryl Streep's.

This walk says, "Bish you can sang, but I won an Oscar."

That was my thought too.

Thank you for shining a light on this monster. He actively hated the black population as Milwaukee County Executive, and now he just ramped it up on the state level.

Just like Saturday Night Fever is not about the dancing, Magic Mike is not about the stripping.

I'm just hope this time around it doesn't end up like Staying Alive.

And in a year or so we could probably add Ray Rice to that list. Give it time. He will get picked up by another team.

I agree with you. Black male privilege is a mutha. And I really appreciate all the comments you've left so far on this thread. The fear that some have — holding black men accountable for abuse…

The United States of America has a weird kind of morality.
