So. Fucking. Punchable.

When I was 12, I racked up a big-ass phone bill calling one of those video game helplines. That’s the sort of mistake a child makes.
Ok, I know this is wrong, but I can’t help but wish, bad, painful, unwanted, 9-inch things to happen to this asshole. Disgusting.
BUT, we’re moving into an attitude of complete exclusion
I just don’t care. You never going to get me to care about white peoples feelings about a black trans woman venting her frustrations about the system she’s forced to survive in. Never.
Can’t spit hot fire without sugar coating it for white people without it affecting your bottom line. Smh. I say more people need to stop sugar coating shit. White people need to get used to not feeling protected and comfortable at all times, since no one else gets to feel that way. Maybe then a small percentage of…
She didn’t at all say it was genetic. You misunderstood. I can inherit a cancer gene, but I can also inherit a couch.
Maybe I’m in a New York bubble, but Cardi’s Bodak Yellow is one of the few bangers in the city this summer. I like her because she’s smart, sex-positive, a feminist, unapologetically herself and went from being a stripper to reality TV to acting and headling a major festival in like two years. Plus she defended Gabby…
What does “helpful” even mean in this context? Ask yourself how you think she should modify her message, and more importantly - why?
So just a comment before I leave Jezebel after being a reader/commenter for 10 years (because I seriously cannot take any more white-girls-only feminism):

do you want a cookie? You know very well that as long as said system of white privilege exists you get that benefit. The fact that you want to list your evendors of “how your not racist” is problematic and you know that. Let this BLACK WOMAN say and feel how she along with many others agree with. All of you benefit…
I disagree. I read her as saying “White privilege is horrible and oppressive and a system built upon the suffering of Black people. It isn’t something that is learned by some white people (and not others). It is inherited by all white people.” Which is a super accurate thing to say.
You could dedicate an entire year of Clapback material to the grey comments in Monique’s articles. God forbid she enjoy herself.

No they are not “projecting their emotions on to HER”, they are making the conscious choice to empathize with the woman who is actually in crisis. Maybe you should take a step back from your save-a-hoe stance and start thinking little more about why exactly you feel sorry for the reporter. Because I can’t imagine any…
What’s in her head or heart doesn’t matter, because actions speak louder than words. Even a blind man could tell that woman was upset by the way her voice was shaking with emotion and the reporter make the decision to continue doing a shitty job as an interviewer instead of considering this woman’s feelings and…
Listen, the right is gonna do their racism bs no matter what comes out of a black woman’s mouth. Can we stop with this whole “be soft spoken so you don’t give THEM any fodder” bs?! I’m not sure if you’ve read the articles that went up yesterday on both The Root and VSB but I think there is a general consensus that we…
How could it have gone better? When the mom started breaking down after the very first question the interviewer should have said “it sounds like you and your family have been through a terrible ordeal - we’re so glad you made it here safely and I’m sure you’d like to get your kids dry and fed. Thank you so much for…
