If she wants to make her point strongly and drama-free, she wouldn’t make it glibly or imply that light-skinned women count less. I mean I’m a light-skinned black man and have often heard that same type of langauge from other black people directed at me. Now I’m smart enough to know and understand that how I’m treated

I read it as pointing out that even where rappers aren’t marrying white women, they are still marrying lighter-skinned black women. I don’t read it as saying those lighter-skinned black women aren’t really black, I read it as pointing out that even where rappers marry black women their choices still seem to be

Where are you seeing that she said many of them weren’t lighter? She used the word “almost,” but that’s kind of a copout, in my opinion. Like Trump’s “And some, I assume, are good people.” The author of this article says that “Acknowledging a Black person’s light complexion doesn’t inherently negate their blackness”

If I’m reading this article correctly, the context of the conversation was that black rappers don’t marry black women. When someone provided a list of rappers who married black women, Moody responded with “Yeah, but they’re all light-skinned.” To me, that implies that they count less. That they have an asterisk.

All things considered, the original tweet is way besides the point, but I have to take a bit of issue with:

Both of them were wrong! I am a big fan of “you can’t do wrong by a person, and tell them how mad to get.” She came at him, (He must was searching his name), and he went back with her. I was tired of both of them, she was going back and forth with him, and then want to claimharassment”. Both of them are too grown

Kweli’s harassment is completely wrong and no one should argue otherwise. Also, colorism is a genuine problem that people should be able to discuss. But it’s completely disingenuous to pretend that Moody’s initial tweet didn’t imply that those women are less black than dark-skinned women and that the rappers who

No that’s actually not insane, which is what makes it so frustrating that we’re even having to talk about this.

As far as I’m concerned in Bloomberg vs Trump, Trump might actually be the lesser evil. That sounds insane, but hear me out.

This is a cop out and exactly why progressives are giving Kamala the side-eye. When you ask an actual progressive candidate this question they will give you a direct answer that isn’t anywhere near “um more police”. No one is asking for a treatise but Kamala isn’t even willing to step outside of the establishment’s

This is funny because Killer Mike loves Bernie Sanders, and for very good reason. He’s said that Bernie is the ONLY CANDIDATE for Black voters, and he’s right. 

Yeah, so Sanders has perhaps the largest proportion of PoC voter support out of any 2020 candidate, but sure, go ahead and erase them because they don’t share your centrist positions

Literally one of the biggest stories of the 2018 midterms was AoC, who went out to campaign with Sanders, who will most likely endorse

1) no one on the left thinks that it’d be better that Clinton lost, save for some academics who for qwhite obvious reasons are nihilistic about the consequences of resurgent white nationalism

So now that she’s running can we talk about her role in the prison industrial complex as a prosecutor in San Fransisco, you know that city that basically purged its Black population (and imprisons a large amount of those who haven’t been pushed out yet?)

If it took you until 2019 and watching this documentary to realize the R.kelly was a pervert and that you should purge his music from your life then you are part of the problem

Um, which moral ground is Don Lemon standing on? Oh please! Are we forgetting the enabling role he played with Bill O’Reilly, Sean Hannity, and especially Glenn Beck (radio interview on pc). And let’s not forget Don Lemon holding aloft a sign with the N-word boldly printed in front of the camera for all to see -

Here’s a letter from the lead detective on the case from last December to the governor.

Not only is this completely one-sided, it’s not even accurate as to what she says happened.

Bernie has an 85% Approval Rating among black democrats and a 73% Approval Rating among all Blacks. He literally leads the country in approval from African Americans among active politicians. LOL

You’re going to catch some flak for this question, so I’ll try to make it very simple and non-aggressive.
