They are paying for the experience THEY want.

Right. If they were taking orders for iPads and not delivering then no one would question it. But it’s something that is important to women, so it’s stupid and everyone has to chime in to decide what these women’s priorities should be.

They got fucked over and that’s never ok no matter how much money you’re spending on something deemed frivolous by people whose opinions don’t matter.

Doesn’t matter if it’s too much. Matters that they bought it and the store isn’t delivering the product.

Happy three months, Catalina!

No woman anywhere has been bullied by a woman. It’s totally a misandrist conspiracy and you’re the first one to crack the code, congrats!

Then you got the Hoteps, who seem incapable of shutting up about BLACK QUEENS (until they start dating a white girl on the D/L [possibly because all the Black Queens they will not stop talking about have caught on to the fact that they want to talk her up while keeping her down].)

But most of the black women I know are RIDE OR DIE for black men. As a whole, we may have been focused on accomplishing our goals, but we’ve NEVER left black men behind.

It is :(

The ones who really get me are the ones who can’t keep their damn trap shut.

The article is fine, the comments are a shitshow. There’s a whole bunch of Beckies in their feelings because they think a Brown woman is shitting on their interracial relationships. The number of women pretending to be completely oblivious to their relative position of privilege and the fact that they as white women…

Sigh. This will never happen. Do you know how I know this because I’m well aware of the discrimination that is experience by people who live in countries in which the mixing or different races has occurred for YEARS. Also, this is the reason why the term colorism was invented for, to describe the discrimination…

Not strictly on topic, but I can only speak for my experience...

Thank you, Michael! I truly appreciate your articles!

Well, ideally I would like to see more interracial relationships and hopefully they will break down cultural barriers. But I stand by my earlier comment, they don’t diminish racism. People will still hate and look down at others and uphold white supremacy. Do you have any experience living in Latin America? I do and…

Its because Black and White Americans have a shared, painful history together. They are inextricably tied to each other so Black Americans have internalized White attitudes of beauty and desire.

I wouldn’t have too much of a problem with it if:

Well, that’s already happened and no, it doesn’t diminish racism or overcome cultural barriers. Look at Latin America for example—many people are mixed with European, Indigenous and African roots, yet there’s still a lot of anti-Indigenous and anti-black racism within Latino communities (both in USA and in Latin…

I’m guessing some of The Root writers got together last night and where like “Tomorrow’s Friday. Let’s see if these comment threads can turn into dumpster fires.”
