Word to the wise: You are in the wrong place if you really want to talk about this in an honest way. Around here you have to get on the band wagon or get the fuck out of here fast.

I'm not victim blaming. Can we not acknowledge she made a mistake without blaming her? Blame implies fault and shame. Is it her fault he raped her? No, it's his fault because rape is an abhorrent and abnormal behavior. No girl or guy should have a reasonable expectation of getting raped.

I'm not though. I don't blame her and I deliberately went out of my way to say that I can't even imagine/comprehend the emotions going through someone's head in that situation, especially facing down the prospect of visiting him again.

He rapes Black girls, and doesn't molest Caucasians.

The song is all about different standards of beauty based on race. From the intro with Becky and her friend talking, one girl says "oh my goodness becky she looks like a rap guy's girlfriend. I mean gross, she's just so black". And throughout the whole song it referred to race.

So, she's still isn't black.

Whenever the talk is about beauty, they want it to be all women. If it's about BW getting slandered, we get crickets from them.

Say it louder for the cheap seats who want to do the "all women" bullshit here.

Does the film delve into how colorism plays a big role in women's success in the music (entertainment) industry? I noticed in the TV trailers the male protagonist is played by a dark skin black man, while the female protagonist is played by a much lighter biracial woman.

You clearly have never heard the song. Like ever. Not surprising you'd try to do that "why do you have to make it about race" shit though.

Yep, exactly. Even as a BM from Seattle, he knows he is lying and had seen a big butt before J.Lo. But not surprising he'd try to credit a non-black woman since that is what everyone like to do.

The intelligent women in question are making a distinction between the academic idea of feminism (equality for all) and the political movement feminism. One is a cut and dried definition. The other is a movement composed of thousands of people with different opinions that has to prioritize goals, decide how they're…

" Just a couple of days ago, a random guy in the grocery store interrupted my transaction with the cashier to point out that I had a case of bottled water under my cart - which she already knew, as I had informed her."

RAGE... I hate people like that.

I agree with that, but I also think that she looks like she's trying hard all the time. That "do you see? Are you shocked?!" look on her face. Rihanna could show up naked and I'd just assume that she thought her body looked too good to cover up, not that she was trying to get headlines. Rihanna looks very…

Her daughter isn't avoiding touch. Her daughter is touching on her terms. That sounds healthy to me.

Ah, what a lovely society we live in where not touching people you don't want to touch makes you socially inept. No rape culture here people, nothing to see here.

Yea...you're projecting. And offended that she pointed out something. #Stophatinblkwomenforyourownproblems.

You're right, that's a disturbing but predictable trend.

Well you could stop seeing her as embodying a stereotype and view her as astute. That, if you knew anything about black film, you'd see she's pretty much hitting the head on the nail.

If you translate what Kanye and Pharrell are saying this is what you hear.
