Right I forget people are allowed to degrade, dehumanize and mock Black people. eyeroll it was my mistake thinking I had a right to humanity. I should remember my place /s

Um no you need to to STFU. First off you clearly misunderstood my comment. People like the person above make it harder for Blacks (like me) who are offended by this shit. I can't tell you how many non-Blacks have told me they can call me a nigger, make fun of of my Blackness, make fun of my hair because some other…

I hope you know you don't speak for all Black people. Smh. Also being Black does not magical give you authority to speak on an issue. In addition, being Black does not mean you are born with consciousness. You might not care but others may.

Honestly I would not be sure if Jezebel was the best audience for this topic. I hope Lupita will have continued success as well as other WOC. I do notice that people are trying to make her "exotic" or making her into a fetish so I can see how that may be seen as making her a "trend".

What else would work? A majority of Black people don't know where they are from (thanks to slavery). In addition many Blacks in the US don't have a strong connections to certain countries in Africa (rather just have a connection with the continent). Finally many Blacks in the US have a racial mixture that we don't…

Um most "African Americans" don't know where their ancestors came from, like me.

I don't get why anyone would find her funny nor defend her comedy. She has always seemed hateful and racist to me. I'm not surprised she took a beautiful moment of Lupita winning as a time to mock Black people. Some people will never be happy for the success of a Black person, they are too bitter for that. She seemed…

I don't know why whites think they have a right to dismiss racism (you are not the deciders), intersectionality exist. Black women are seen as the most masculine compared to other women Black women are seen as aggressive, savage and even dangerous (anger Black women). This is not about the "oppression Olympic" I…

I am sorry about what happened to you, but thank you for sharing your comment!! I really appreciate it! I agree completely, sharing an experience is brave and I think our first reaction should be compassion not quick to criticize her. I never been sexually assaulted so I have no idea what it must be like to share that…

Thank you for your post, I know Black women (and a man) who were sexual assaulted more than once, they don't identify with the victim title. I believe White women do because they been taught they are pure and deserving of protection (compared to Black women) so they identify as a victim. Even as children, Blacks are…

I also want to add that when I see Gabby talk I think of intersectionality. Black women are expected to be the "strong Black woman" that we are supposed to handle everything no matter what (this is wrong but many Black women are raised like this). So her wanting to be a survivor is based in being raised to be the…

I appreciate Gabrielle sharing HER experience. I don't understand why people criticizing her. I have talked to a few other Black women and they don't like the victim status, they prefer survivor. Now people police what those who experience sexual assault can say? I didn't read any victim blaming nor did I read…

This article exposed some White feminists in the comment section. Feminisms is a broad term, not all forms of feminism have the same goals and ideology. IMO mainstream feminism focuses on straight, cisgender, abled-body middle-class and higher White women.

I do think Black men are more sexualized than men of other races and are only see for sexual adventure and not good husbands and fathers. (There was a WW on twitter who tweeted, "Us White girls who date Black guys need to stick together because we will all be single mothers one day" I did not follow her on twitter but…

I think it depends on who you talk to. I have this conversation with Black people IRL. I have known certain BM criticizing BW for dating WM despite dating non-BW. Certain BM said that dating WW is a way to get "the man" while BW dating WM means that BW are giving into "the man" and the slave master. Also I known…

You tried, but the person just didn't get it. They also ignored the points you were making (which were so good). <3

All of what you said. I agree with you. You told no lies!!!
It breaks my heart to see young Black kids think Black is not beautiful. I remember reading a Black woman's post on another site. She had a little black boy ask her if she was mixed because she was pretty. (The woman was not) she asked him if he thinks that a…

Okay. I know I these things. Never said POC/WOC experience was all the same (in fact there are big differences within racial groups as well). You keep reading into my words and making up things up. You were not born or raised in the US, just as I like was not born and raised in East Asia. I never mentioned Asia and…

I always find it frustrating when whites tell minorities we have no right to ask for diversity. Being represented is a big deal, especially when you are told your features are ugly or you should change yourself (straighten your hair, avoid the sun, etc). So seeing Black women (especially those who are brown, full…

Lol, you mad? I'm talking about the US. As a Black woman in the US I seen "whiter" features or mixed Black women being put on a pedestal. Many Black women are taught that they should aspire to European standards of beauty and that Blackness is ugly even today. But okay you jumped the gun I never said that Europeans…
