What is not in this article is that the Dearborn Heights PO tried to cover this up by initially reporting that her body was dumped, then that she was shot in the back of the head. If not for her parent's insistence, and local residents, this would have just been another "justifiable" homicide.

Drunk, high woman crashes her car, injures herself and gets murdered by a racist freak. There, I fixed it for you.

BUT...BUT...she shills for Pepsi. And shows off her ass. She is no Joni Mitchell!

The only thing more fun than a "Sleepunder" is an"Unmovie Night" where its actually daytime and instead of watching movies everybody has to help clean the garage.

The problem is that they're complaining about a very positive, feminist leaning piece that happens to have Beyonce as it's subject. I don't care if people don't like her but we're not talking about 'Beyonce got a haircut' here. Don't care if anyone likes her or not but the fact that people can't suspend their negative

That is a freaking weird thing to say on a date. I can understand it being a legitimate complaint between a couple who has been together a while, and one party feels like the other never says anything nice to them (been there— it sucks to feel completely unappreciated), but on a first date, or even a third date? No.

This whole thread is making me teary-eyed. First of all, I clearly need a nap. But still, gosh, it's a big thing that this woman has done, a very big thing. Black women already have to do more than white women to be given recognition but then when they do, they still get put down for it.

"Single Ladies" comes up a lot in these recent conversations about Beyonce's feminism and it's always literally just one line. Only ever that one line. I can understand that for many people Beyonce has only vaguely been on their radar as some kind of pop star who makes music they're not into. This is especially the

Have you seen her face in that video and performances? Beyonce's a visual artist. Context matters here! She's fucking with us, fucking with that dude, and loving the hell out of it. I also think "put a ring on it" is a pretty clear euphemism for making a commitment— not just getting a rock and getting married.

Most if not all of her love/break-up songs are about valuing the best of yourself and knowing what you want. "Single Ladies" may not have the exact lyrics that all women (those who don't want marriage in the future) will relate to, but I always felt her central themes are about self-confidence and knowing yourself.*

It makes me so angry because all of the articles on Beyonce since this album came out last week is about this huge never done before accomplishment and people are like 'Yeah but the same thing happens to (insert name here)' but that isn't the same because when they write about say, Lena Dunham or some shit they aren't

All I know is my mother told me something about a cow and getting the milk for free.

There's this thing called metaphor...

This threzd is exactly the reason why we need more POC voices in feminism.

But it's not just Jezebel that's defending her feminism - it's Mikki Kendall, and Trudy, and Black Amazon, and Mia McKenzie.

I am so sick of hearing about this whole thing but I do want to say that from what I have read here and on GT, she's striking a nerve with people and making black women feel better about themselves and their womanhood. So let her do that for cripessake. Let black women celebrate that. God knows we have so many

Comparing the sexual expression of a 50 year old (thank you, Google) White female actor and a 25 year old West-Indian born Black pop star just screams out what is wrong with White Feminism. The fact that you can't see how silly and ridiculous that comparison makes me shake my head. We have so far to go....sigh.

None of the women she mentioned are using SOLELY sex to sell their product. They're famous cause people think they make fun music and like to sing and dance along to it. the rest of it is just extraneous stuff.

Rashida, I really want to like you but you need to stop talking. Whether a woman decides to make a patriarchal bargain or simply enjoy her sexuality, it's not your business. Matrix of oppression and all that. Not only that, you don't get to judge because YOU HAVE NO WAY OF KNOWING which side of the issue they're
