Yeah - was going to say this. She wasn’t really good in Monster’s Ball.
Stand up for the truth, man!
For a short period of time, after her mother’s divorce from a wealthy person, before her mother married another wealthy person. People tend to live in motels for short periods of time around divorces.
TamTams!!! Why can’t people receive this message??? It’s akin to white women who married or date black men but do no associate at all with one woman of color. Not even his family at times and the guy never questions it because they themselves don’t even like women of color. It happens all the time right here in West…
I’d also point out that even Sofia Vergara, who Jezebel chose to feature in the photo for this article, is white. She is Colombian but she has dramatically altered her appearance in a way that appeals to people in the US who are looking for a “saucy latina.”
Um... oookay.
I’m not one of those people who despises Kim Kardashian. I’ve tried to be, but I lack the will to care about her with any degree of intensity beyond that which I feel for breakfast cereal. Which is to say: essentially nil. I think she’s vapid and self-absorbed but is, on the whole, a decent person who works hard and…
Camille Paglia made a car-based analogy about date rape, arguing something along the lines of, if you leave your car unlocked and running with the keys in the ignition, what do you think will happen?
There was was no one to get in the way of.
I feel like Dee Barnes was more of a thumbs to the side

Those train folks are definitely full of shit. Here’s an interesting comment from the article at the Chronicle
I read:
A Black Women's Book Club Was Kicked Off a White Train for Laughing
That said, you’re comment is reductionist bullshit.
I vividly remember watching a music video where a woman walks into a Snoop Dog party disgusted by how gross everything is and being put off by the dudes hitting on her, so they attacked her and humiliated her. I turned to my older cousins and asked why they did that. Their response: “That’s what stuck-up bitches get.”…
Why wait for a hurricane, Kristen?
Please check the producers and exec producers list which I provided. These are the people that bankroll this endeavor. More importantly those distinctions that are made between those women are the kinds of distinctions that are made by Black men - in type and expression. White folks don’t have that level…
I’ll catch it on Netflix, I won’t pay box office $$ for this. Did you see that casting call?
Well, I’m not black, so I don’t feel the need (nor do I think I have the right) to be specifically offended by misogyny in black communities. I am a woman, so I’m offended in general by misogyny everywhere. It especially bugs me to see someone like Ice Cube who is very mainstream and, dare I say it, family-friendly at…
