Same. I get the "you are SO tan what is your secret?" "Being birthed from a brown lady" is usually my response.

Dear Anthony Mackie,

Horseshit. If she were Arab or Muslim or a man no one would give a flying fuck about her mental instability. She'd be a "terrorist," end of story, and would likely be jailed indefinitely. And no one would bat an eye.

As a Lit student at ASU I can tell you that once this class was announced on the register it became full in a hot second. People could not stop talking about how excited they were for this class. I really hope this course continues to be available so I have the chance to take it before I graduate!

I agree with this. The article says that it's especially important for Black children to be taught pride in their heritage...I actually think it might be more important for White children. Because White children are the ones who grow up thinking that everyone else is "ethnic" and they are just "normal".

I'm in two minds about this. On the one hand, it's great that someone is shining a light on the conditions these women have to work in. On the other, does it have to be done in this voyeuristic, poverty tourism way? Why couldn't we just do a documentary about the women of Cambodia? Why do we need the hook of pretty…

I really take umbrage with Jamaica repping Carnival when we are the true originators and home of Carnival in the Caribbean. Couldn't she wear a weed or reggae costume (yes, yes snarky I know but this creams my corn). Here's Miss Trinidad

i feel like i need to rep miss India's costume

You know, it's really funny how most of the people who complain about a 45-minute long continuously played half (+ a few minutes injury time) will happily sit and watch an American football half so broken up by clock stoppages that it takes more than twice as long as the soccer half to get through.

um what she's a BLESSING

Especially not the stuff they took from other people.

It is some white feminism shit* and Annie is very ignorant.

I mean, no pop star is above reproach, but to distill Bey into "twerking" when asked about her feminism (instead of citing something like "***Flawless" or "Rocket") is some Huckabee-level bullshit.

WHERE DO I GET THIS BEYONCE WATCH?!?!

Am I against all sororities, of course not. I know a lot of really great woman, who are smart, driven and did good work through their chosen Greek organization while in school. That having been said....do I feel bad that shallow, abusive, fat-shaming, and vapid sororities are being called out on their ridiculous…

You snatched that wig right off.

And this is why I hate her. She can take to Twitter to compose 12+ tweets about the current state of journalism, but when criticized about her insensitive tweet regarding Ferguson, she could only muster a one tweet response, which was dismissive as shit.

Wow, kind of mean headline. It sounds like a bitchy sorority girl kind of comment. I think she looks stunning.
