Gia was not there to speak for herself ...

My pleasure, thanks for asking. What made their marriage strong was the fact that they both had each other’s backs, even with supposed family who clearly didn’t. They were a couple who had both race and religion against them, and they definitely did not let either be a hurdle in their love for each other. I am…

There is a distressingly high number of WOC and POC who will not be able to comment here because Jez has banned them, without explanation or warning. The entire JezeRoot series is so controversial with the commenters at least in part because so many people will not be able to participate in anything that is posted to…

You are absolutely correct. I’ve noticed in general (not directed to the OP all at), giving it up to God has turned into “thoughts and prayers”. It’s easy and at times, a lazy way to deal with the problem. So when I see that being offered as the first suggestion, it irks me. I mean no offence to anyone’s beliefs.

His last record featured Kendrick, got buzz as an AOTY contender and he was featured on the Blank Panther soundtrack... featured on the last Gorillaz record. Has done features for Billy Eillish, Common, Ghostface Killah, Kali, GTA, and many others in the past few years. 2017 was the year he truly arrived— but I guess…

Actually, my parents cut them off for years when they were first married, but decided to “mend bridges” because my grandma was dying and wanted to have a relationship with the grand kids (my sister and me, but she died when my mom was pregnant with me). These were extended relatives who were trying to “poison the…

Vince Staples is hella talented. He did the song BagBak which was used for the Black Panther trailer, and also did the song Opps off the OST. I’m excited to see what he does in the future.

From past experiences, putting your faith in God as a cheater means you’re still a cheater and need your spirituality to not cheat. If someone cannot cheat on their own again shows m they are weak and use God as a handicap. .I don’t need someone to transcend being a typical human being, because the rest of us are…

I agree that he shouldn’t get a pass here, it’s a valid question that is worth fully examining. The problem is that most people don’t understand what “cultural appropriation” actually means as a sociology term, it’s largely become a buzzword, which is unfortunately fairly common with sociological terms, because they…

BREAKING: White Guy Continues To Fail Upward On Wave Of Hipster Bullshit

I’m calling it out as structural racism because that’s exactly what it is. It’s very easy for you to call out klansmen but you can’t call out your bigoted government officials, you still refuse to see the institutional nature of racism but you expect Ms. Mallory to call out someone who is a hell of a lot less powerful…

I don’t really fuck with Farrakhan, never did. Quite frankly, his brand of Black liberation doesn’t seem to include Black women and that’s a goddamn problem.

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

These are two trifling ass negroes and both of them can go fuck themselves.

Dani could’ve said she don’t want hire anyone with hammer toes in her house and that’s her prerogative. Those two ugly ass bros can go fuck themselves, starting shit for ratings. Correct me if I’m wrong but “pretty” ain’t a protected class of people and statistically, they have a better chance of getting hired than…

I’m going to need you to explain what you mean by “political leanings.”

Its funny because if its one thing that people who lack the capacity for critical and independent thinking are known for, its creativity and truthfulness.

I follow both The Root and Kinfolk Kollective for being pro black woman and both outlets have failed Monique solidly.

Yup. #TeamMonique

And when I read the title of this article I thought we would have her saying something heinous but Michael’s issue was her pet name for her husband. Bruh, really?? That’s so weak and this feels like a play for clicks at best and at worst another example of piling on Mo’Nique because she is a Black woman with demands.
