"Hey y'all fellow white people. I would vote for slavery if y'all wanted me to. Wink wink y'all."

- Jim Wheeler

I'm not a "majority rules" kind of lady, so you are barking up the wrong tree with that defense. I don't care if a VAST MAJORITY of the human population supported silencing Black thought because it was not delivered to them in a fashion they found more palatable. It's bullshit. It's bullshit to critique it that way.…

I understand your intent in replying to me was not to be harsh, but realize your entire reply was about Julianne and other white people's feelings. You totally glossed over the focus of my post which was the feelings of the person of color whose race is being used as a costume. Again, the focus is all on the white…

Yes, you as a white person used your "one brown friend" to discredit the very valid observation that white people have a tendency to negate the thoughts, feelings, and perspectives of Black people because of the language/grammar being used.

I had no trouble reading the article either. The writer made a stylistic choice that perhaps isn't a good fit for Jezebel, which, as comment threads always make abundantly clear, has an overwhelmingly white, middle to upper middle class readership. Those who have actually read more than one or two authors of color…

I loved this article but my main takeaway from the comments is that "We white women aren't all the same" and "This writer needs better editing. Grammar people."

Thank you for telling me this. When I am officially a Guess girl you can come to my introduction party.

I want to be the first ever unattractive Guess girl. Where can I run into Paul Marciano?

I have a question for certain white people (you know who you are): Do any of you care about the feelings of black people (or other people of color) when they have to time and again see their race as the subject of humor for white people?

Most people? Why the fuck do you surround yourself with imbeciles? It is skewing your perspective.

i'm with you on your assessment of chris brown, but you should pay closer attention to sheen. his "antics" follow the exact same pattern as brown's, but they cover a span of nearly 25 years. he's more than gross; he's a monster.

It would be remarkably naïve to think that the reaction to Chris Brown's violence is not somewhat based in his race; just like the response to Lohan's addiction is partially based on attitudes about what is appropriate for her gender.

I like Jay Z, but he's full of shit here. The only thing that concerns him in this case is money. Greed has overpowered him and he's forgotten about/doesn't give a shit about the people who are discriminated against.

I just roll my eyes at black people who expect shit from Jay-Z. Jay- Z likes money above all things. The president of Barneys could come out tomorrow and say " fuck all these blackies and I don't want their dirty dark skin in my store, because they are criminals and savages" and Jay Z would call his accountant and say…

"If he ends his deal with the store, scholarship money for the Shawn Carter Foundation will vanish"

Oh, honey. You have not yet begun to anxious.

I like how they can pick and choose what kind of feminine they want you to be...wait, no I don't.

It's relevant, I think, that these were presentation, i.e. public speaking, tips, not "tips for how to present yourself generally". And I'm not sure why advice from a woman to women has to be completely gender-specific—it's good advice not to be drunk for a presentation to a law firm, so why shouldn't a woman give…

Don't have money: "Work hard like the rest of Americans, darkie! Stop complaining!"
