In other Obama news:

In my experience, African immigrant adults who move to Europe/US in the later years of their life have a lot of trouble understanding racism. She’s probably never been called a monkey. I’m sure her son will understand before too long though. Because also in my experience, 2nd generation African immigrants stop calling…

Uh-huh...I keep telling people about these towns outside of Philly. Having grown up there, I KNOW what kind of separatists/Nationalists/Supremacists dwell in that state. And if you don’t encounter them, you’ll run into the all-kinds-of-other-batsh!t-craziness Amish. I hope the white woman who tried (but failed) to…

“I’ve broken down I don’t know how many times. Or I’ll get angry about the crying, then sad about being angry, and then guilty, like, Why do I feel so sad when I have a beautiful baby? The emotions are insane.”

One of the wealthiest, most successful people in the world and doctors STILL don’t take her seriously about her own body. But sure, black maternal mortality is just a factor of “access” and “education. Ok.

Ms Williams’ talent is otherworldly but she is just so doggedly real. Makes me feel like her joy is every black girl’s joy. And I love that she’s increasingly using her platform to share her truths and uplift us, long may her reign last.

Even in the absence of these allegations, I genuinely loathe him along with his pals Seth Rogen, Jonah and Apatow. Their movies (especially when they collaborate) have always been unfunny misogynist trash. I can’t believe the sheer number of women who told me Knocked Up was feminist & Franco was an intellectual. Hoo…

The more stories that I hear about Wahlberg, the more it pisses me off that he tried to get all of the assaults (the guy he blinded, the kids he hit with rocks and all the shit that he did as a kid) removed from his record.

The French in general seem to have a shitty attitude towards sexual harassment and abuse just in general.

It’s great it turned out this way but:

That’s why I said in my initial comment that I wondered if people just said this shit because it’s trendy or something. Hating people and leaving functions without saying goodbye to anyone doesn’t make you an introvert lol

Oh, so we gonna ignore how Shea Moisture and Roland “Cap’n Ascot” tried to mansplain black women feels not even a year ago?

Great analysis! I also think people can be a little bit of both, which is cool. My bf’s brother made a comment about me the other day when I told him I liked taking my time before I really warmed up to groups of people. I said I may seem introverted but I’m not, and he said, “You’re definitely not an introvert. You…

That quote is disgusting. It might as well say, “On the other hand, South Central shows Black people suffering so that’s the show to to get your maturbatory torture porn material from.”

You’ve said it more eloquently, but I agree. I remember feeling sad for young girls who were blaming Rihanna for CB beating her and wondered if their opinion would’ve been swayed if a celeb they admired came out strongly against CB. Kids are impressionable and the ones I saw excusing CB’s actions and saying that…

I mean you’re just being real. Can’t take your black card away for keeping it 100. Honesty earns you a gold star.

“There’s a lot of otherwise smart black men I know who I can’t fuck with because they prevert the message of black equality into a message of “black MEN should be running this shit”. I got into beef with one dude because he said something along the lines of “feminism is about women oppressing men”, and I called him on…

I feel like this and the backlash over the “black men are the white people of black people” article go hand in hand.

THANK YOU and @Cremoso1 as well. As a clinician myself, all kinds of “red flags” went up for me on this one. Hadn’t jumped onto the site (or in the comments) today, as I’m trying to make an effort to do daily, but the two of you got this broad (that’s as kind as I can be at 4:30 a.m. after an EPIC family turnup and…
