I wasn’t in the Beyhive until seeing her for the first time in concert. Girl is the best we got right now.

You didn’t miss anything. I hate that I’m putting my black folks’ business on the street like this, but white girls are stereotyped to give head more than black women. So the term Becky also became interchangeable with head (the same way referring to Monica Lewinsky is shorthand for head).

Though a handful are real standouts, I’d need a few more listens to have something substantive to say about the music, since I was too enraptured by the glorious visuals and messaging.

I’ve cried so much during this album!! Mostly tears of contentment for the ability to witness greatness and someone fulfilling their purpose

YES. And I thought self-titled was her Thriller/Purple Rain. But this is her Thriller.

This shit is transcendental. I mean fuuuck Beyonce is well on her way to being an all time great.

not sure why you’re replying to me with this. never claimed she was edgy. only illustrating that this isn’t a new thing for her.

Not only can acquiring the papers themselves can be a roadblock, but it just allows more room for trickery and inefficiency on voting day.

My 2 cents...not begun. Began. Not long after Chris Brown attacked her. See:

A fucking men

Though there were some examples of outright fraud, I don’t think it was particularly widespread. A lot of the problem for these Bernie supporters was perfectly legal (i.e. Independents, left-leaning parties who couldn’t vote because they didn’t meet the deadline).

6 months, but still awful. And still the highest in the country.

Someone shared a similar story in the news. She showed documented proof that her signature on the request to change party affiliation was forged. She couldn’t vote because someone changed it to independent. The problem is these signatures are digitized, so it makes it so susceptible to fraud. I was lucky I didn’t have…

To be clear, no state comes close to being as stringent as NY. So the disenfranchisement talk for some didn’t seem as urgent. On average, all the other closed states require you to change your affiliation at least 1-2 months prior to the primary. For closed caucuses, you can do it the same day. In NY, it’s a 6 month…

To jump into you and hamwinky’s conversation, I think we have to dissect what it means when someone says their blackness is a primary identification. What hamwinky is saying, I think, is that blackness isn’t just about race. It’s also a culture. So saying “blackness informs my whole life” could mean any number of…

Bruce was still Bruce when he was taking hormones. He was referring to himself as a man then.

ummm, I clearly need to stay up on zendaya. she’s, like, funny.

Where do people work where they get reamed for their appearance like this? This is cray.

No. When someone says “x demographic strongly supports a” on jezebel, we don’t generally take that to mean “every single member of the group strongly supports a” (unless you’re a #notallman).

I very clearly include them in my analysis. The pastors and mayors were the only strong proponents, which I stated. The issue is your ignoring all the other black leaders who were hesitant and reserved about the bill when you said “explain the strong support of black leaders.” This article does not substantiate a…
