Not surprised, not surprised at all. We (i.e black folks) knew something wasn’t right when macklemore won anything over Kendrick Lamar. Absolutely ridiculous.

It is premiering at Sundance. That is the literal opposite of it being killed.

This makes no sense. Why would she initially take on the project and bring attention to it if what she really wanted was to bury the project? 

Your numbers are not adding up.......

I thought I was the only one struck by how much he seem to focus on himself and not the loved ones of the person that lost his life due to Soules’ mistake. The only time he even refers to them is when he mentions “both parties involved”. To think this statement is after his attempt to be a better person. No one wins…

Thanks for this. Any suggestion that Canada is not racist is a lie and that person is just gaslighting.

“Allies”. Anytime anyone calls or positions themselves as an ally, I get suspicious.

The risk is 3-4x higher than white women and that is a shame, but most black women will survive childbirth. If I am understanding it correctly, if the maternal mortality rate is 14/100,000 for white women, it is 42-56/100,000 for black women.

This is a very white list.

She had insurance. I believe healthcare is a right and everyone should have access to healthcare, but that would not have made a difference in this situation. Racism still impacts black people’s treatment in the healthcare system in Canada and the UK, two places with universal healthcare.

The many ways white people are trying to twist themselves to come up with counter reasons is proof racism is underlying all their “distrust”.

You are right. A black woman would not have been believed or listened to in the same way.

I am trying in 2018 to be more open to the idea there are enough white people open to ending systems of white oppression, but there are too many white folks making it really hard for me.

I agree with you that blaming Meghan for experiencing racism is fucked up. The racists are the bad people here. Plus, Meghan is mixed race and has a white father. I am sure she is used to experiencing racism or racial micro-aggressions from her white father’s family or experienced her mother dealing with that.

This statement is ahistorical.

Not sure what the President of Namibia did to sit near the toilets.

I don’t think she identifies as black, but she is a woman of color.

I am in the grays and I have been for years. I am not going to ever get noticed and promoted so I don’t worry about it. I do have ad block and never follow the their links even if I see them promote something I want to buy. I am going to do what I can to minimize how much a company that does value my input gets to…
