She sounds like every single other indie white girl out there. Like she’s got marbles in her mouth. It is not cute.

Can we just talk about Joanne’s transparent dislike of WGY’s only Black employee. At what workplace have any of us been where taking the initiative is frowned upon?! I know Issa has to have a job, but the fact that she didn’t go straight back to her desk and onto Monster dot com (is that still a thing, lol?) to look…

You’re totally right. While it disappoints me that so many of my fellow midwesterners are total racists, it helps me weed them out more quickly.

WHOA SEVEN WHOLE WOMEN CONGRATS. Meanwhile, I’m going to give myself 30 seconds to write, off the top of my head: Anne Hathaway, Meryl Streep, Jennifer Aniston, Angelina Jolie, Any member of the Kardashian clan, Taylor Swift, Lena Dunham, Mila Kunis, Gisele, Mandy Moore, and Jessica Chastain. 

Right. All of this...which could be remedied by just sharing the credit or shutting the hell up.

My favorite is when white people are like,” I’m just trying to start a dialogue”

I just want to thank you for your posts. If White people really wanted to help us, they would do the damn work to dismantle White supremacy everywhere. Seeing as it’s still just as strong as it was 400 years ago and it just merely changed form...I got nothing for them.

This reply to you tho, is why I’m always like, you can fellate these white people if you want to, but I am going to sit here and eat my food.

I dunno, I don’t require expertise, but originality comes to mind as good for an article.

Doesn’t MV have a not unsubstantial black population and presence? (goes to check) Yup, they have a heritage trail and everything. Not that such things eliminate racism but they shouldn’t be acting like it’s odd for black folks to be there.

The key is Mexican brown sugar and whole sticks of Mexican cinnamon. 

While Becky has her spiced pumpkin latte, we chop it up and boil it with hard brown sugar, cinnamon, pepper, and cloves. Then we toast the seeds. I wasn’t allowed to carve a pumpkin for Halloween as a kid cause it was wasting food, and it's delicious so I didn't mind.

Uh, like you said we’ll see. He doesn’t strike me as someone who thinks like that or gives a fuck, unless he thinks it’s going to earn him social capital. Like any criticisms about about him leveraging his blackness predominately for white consumption. I don’t think he cares about how that affects black people/black…

And since I see he did disappear it, here’s what I replied to his “it’s that simple”:

who actually provided relevant historicalcontext of Martha’s Vineyard having a Black neighborhood.

Well, no, not really, because that puts the onus on us to interrupt whatever work we were doing and do yet more work to “report you”, as you put it – and we also run the risk of whatever “authorities” to whom we “report you” doing nothing to encourage you to correct your behavior (and any POC regardless of gender…

I completely agree with you. I’ve had certain feelings about HuskyBro’s comments for a long time which is why I rarely recommend them.

I am a black woman and I am often ambivalent about many of the things that Husky Bro has to say. Never sure which camp he comes from.

I am guessing that the women chairing this panel will hold this summit in Oak Bluffs. Oak Bluffs has been home and vacation destination for a predominately black population since 1930. I.E.: Charles Shearer, Madam CJ Walker, Paul Robeson, Ethel Walters, Lillian Evanti, Harry T. Burleigh, Dorothy West, and Adam Clayton…

I wish I could get POC to understand making the pivot to get that Trump/white supremacist money is never the play. ever.
