Yea, even the HR lady, who also happened to be white, was rolling her eyes throughout. He said I was unapproachable and acted like I was above him just because I want college and sh!t. I’ve only seen him in the elevators/lobby but he was hurt enough to locate my dept and find my name too report me. It was ridiculous…

Hold up hold up hold the fuck up.

Thanks for that link. I was picturing Issa dodging asinine questions from her colleagues on Insecure. I did have a fragile whiteboy go to HR on me once and said I was angry, never smiled, and looked generally unhappy. This was someone I never worked with him, didn’t know what dept he worked at and had to learn his…

After looking for anyone not white in this picture for twenty minutes, I found exactly one black person.

Yeah but she tried to whitesplain shit too. “White men have a life of being white and that brings white diversity to whiteness” or some such bullshit. She was not authentic - at least not publicly. You may have a point about having a departmental ally, but she was fired anyway. It would have been better to be fired…

Srsly. Re: #10: Have you seen this one yet?

That Apple HR mess made me cringe and she still got let go. I wonder what she’d do differently if she could go back and have the support of other black folks in the room and the knowledge that her actions wouldn’t jeopardize her job.

9. Don’t tell a black person what they’re saying isn’t true because you have a friend who’s a black guy and he said...

Companies can avoid all this damage to their brands by having multiple black folks in each step of the decision making. And I say multiple because it can be hard for POC to feel comfortable voicing dissent in a sea of white people without worrying about the security of their job. Also, we are not a monolith, as you’ve…

I don’t care if you’re selling pumpkin-spice lattes with a side of cottage cheese out of the back of a Volkswagen Beetle at a Taylor Swift concert; somewhere, somehow, there’s a black person who may be into it.

I know that’s not your point. That much I am clear about.

I’m sorry you don’t buy into “equal media representation.” You either lack empathy (because I’m sure if you had the capacity to understand the quoted sentiment from Pulliam-Moore, you wouldn’t be here slinging your opinion without thinking it through) or you gain something from saying these things are irrelevant. Or…

Same. Those ads make me SO HAPPY in the same way that Wonder Woman and the new Ghostbusters did. It’s that ‘oh is this how white men and boys have been feeling since forever? Wow it feels GREAT’

So will that mask fit an adult? Just asking for a friend.

Ugh, the 3 Ninjas. They made them the ultimate mayonnaise spread on Wonder Bread white boys from a whitest neighborhood possible.

Yuuuuup. A buddy of mine who hates comic book movies wants to see Black Panther on opening night.

Growing up as a Japanese-American kid, it always struck me that even elements from my own culture were replaced by white characters. The Karate Kid was white. The most popular martial arts stuff my friends watched were Van Damme and Segal. The most popular Ninjas were turtles that ate pizza and lived in NY, or 3 white…

“this fandom can be a place for me, as well.”

Everything I’ve seen about this movie is making it the celebration of blackness we need at this cultural moment. I’ve had friends who refuse to see Marvel movies say they are going to see Black Panther. Opening night’s gonna be the biggest party in the theatres since The Dark Knight (even bigger since it won’t be a…
