He's like Jordan Catalano meets Daniel Tosh. But with the beautiful hair of a sea-witch-cursed mermaid and the fashion sense of a young, French Allman brother.

Mark, I'm disappointed. You made no mention that today is Queen Lupita Nyong'o's birthday! She's 31! Tsk Tsk

I am Lisa Bonet's complexion and have done both everything both Lupita and you described - praying to God to make me lighter (which, in my case, would be light), feeling secretly thankful that I'm not darker and thus ugly (I am so ashamed that I ever felt this way). I remember being shocked - SHOCKED, I tell you -

This is so important. Black women are often deemed the least desirable, the least attractive and least desirable. We have this weird thing of being hypervisible, yet invisible. The only way that a black woman can even be somewhat attractive is if she is possibly mixed with something else. You have so many people

NO I'M NOT SOBBING IT'S JUST RAINING ON MY FACE OKAY.

Only the very well off could afford something like this. This is just straight up eugenics.

The underlying themes of this season are so incredibly fucked up vis-a-vis Mellie. So, her husband was unfaithful when the audience was first introduced to her, but she couldn't be a sympathetic figure because the narrative obviously positions her as an antagonist to the lead. Ergo, she wasn't a "good" wife: too cold,

As a black woman, I can't even begin to explain how cultural notions about your disposability and lack of work directly effect your sense of self.

Dude, I think he might have been in that Romeo and Juliet remake that completely bombed. His agent is nicht so gut.

No one would give a damn about Zoe Kravitz if she wasn't a famous offspring. Bland and completely boring and her posing is so try hard cool.

"Ohhhh, my neighborhood just has so much 'color' - it's really cute! I don't know why they don't have a Starbucks yet, though. But the oxtail sandwiches guy just loooves me. I always ask him when he's getting low-carb buns, but I guess he doesn't speak English or something."

Now cue the outrage from the white professional class Jezzies who just moved to Red Hook and like to brag to their friends at brunch how "vibrant" their neighborhood is but who have never talked to any of their neighbors who isn't also a white couple from Westchester.

Oh great, Jezebel is trying to turn me against another person that I like.

I feel like I immediately went there because to me, the face of "victimhood" is a white woman. A ton of Lifetime movies and news coverage of missing white women probably doesn't help. It's pretty fucked that factually black women have a higher ratio of violent crime against them, but I don't really think of us as

I dislike that her rumored bad attitude is being used to dismiss her feelings on her own rape. Also, not to be that black girl, but her comments on not being raised to
be coddled, and being raised to stand on her own two feet have a lot to do with how black women are raised to be survivors of all sorts of abuse and

anyone watching Being Mary Jane? I just polished off episode 6 and I'm liking it but I'm also recoving from dental surgery and heavily medicated. Its good, right?

Her narrative is her narrative. It doesn't have to be most people's narrative.

I know. Dude for real sold out. Evolution of RT is such a good album.

Haaahaha, his loss. She is gorgeous and he looks (and acts) like perennial skeeze. In another couple of years his uncanny resemblance to his father is going to become more apparent, people are going to start forgetting 'Blurred Lines' and the magic will be lost. No more 20-somethings trying to grab his package, no

What amazes me is the idea that somehow this tension between white feminists and WOC feminists, namely black feminists, is something new or recent, it's not. We've seen this movie before, more than a hundred times, on play, non-stop. Since a decade after the end of American slavery, the feminist movement took off, but
