Life Lessons from 50 years as a Black woman dealing with White women.

There is so much bullshit happening here, I can't even deal.

Nothing about the above post is appropriate. R. Kelly is a rapist and is no friend to black women. His entire album is not an ode to anything except his sickness.

You know what? Fuck this.

this man is fucking pedophile, why hasn't he been removed from our tv's and itunes amd sentenced to exile. r kelly is disgusting he should die.

It only becomes a problem when it's 14 year old pussy.

Oh look, Jezebel is loving on a misogynist that commits statutory rape.

Yea I hate them already.

Nope, you're definitely an asshole either way. I can promise you that concern-trolling me about my weight is a quick ticket off my Best Friend list. Fat people are shamed constantly about the way they look, and told constantly how unhealthy it is. I promise that their thin best friends chiming in to echo it isn't…

Or you could, instead of saying to your best friend, "Hey, I'm worried about your weight" just try to introduce a few healthy activities. Maybe take her hiking instead of the movies. Join a gym together. Start grilling veggies for dinner, I don't know. You don't always have to SAY something, maybe if you actually…

You are right of course but somehow my brother's Ex (thank god she is his ex now) could not NOT comment on any woman's appearance. Their weight,their make-up and fashion choices, their sex lives everything was always scrutinized and judged. This was the same for random celebrities, women on tv or women we knew in…

The thing is, people already know that it's better for them not to smoke and they it's better for them to eat healthy and exercise. I'm all in favor of increasing access and affordability of healthy foods and fitness because those are barriers that prevent people who want to eat healthy from doing so (see: food…

I said I quit, motherfucker.

Quite honestly, I think some people are threatened by the notion that appearance, which they work really hard to get/maintain, is not everything. I think they feel threatened if a person simply does not care about being overweight or chooses not to spend hours in the gym or eat a restricted diet in order to get a…

Some of them are probably stroking it just looking at their stock portfolios lately.

It really bothers me that Ebony is a common search. We aren't marriage material and we are the last to be contacted on dating websites but people sure love to jack off to images of us being fucked and objectified and all that jazz.

I made no friends when Steve Jobs died. I had many FB friends that went into Serious Mourning. I told each and everyone of them, get back to me when both of your parents die. THEN you can tell me how you'll never be the same again. Yes, it's a huge bummer for his friends, family, and business partners. And it's always…

I fully admit my cynicism governs my reaction. And I apologize if I'm unable to elicit more than a cursory sympathy for an unreasonably rich entitled asshole who killed himself showing off with a friend in a Porsche at a charity event that was created so other rich assholes could play with their million dollar cars. …

Yeah, Hollywood hates to be reminded that they're not immortal.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not making light of the way he died (which was awful) or the fact that he died (death is also awful), or died so young.

But, to be honest, the internet is acting like he was Indira Gandhi just because they recognize him from the…

Basic ambition is a huge factor in relationships, and it's one aspect of personality that people rarely change. If you aren't happy with your boyfriend's motivation level, it may be the only sign you need to see that it isn't going to work long term. The question is: Do you respect the way he chooses to live?
