Oh my gosh, really? There was hashtag this August about #blackpowerisforblackmen started by an Ebony editor. Elaine Brown, who chaired the Black Panther party, wrote about her experience with sexism and patriarchy in her memoir. You can google this—its well documented.

Maybe it's my new birth control, but I literally cried through the entire first half of this movie. I loved it.

Jewish people aren't taking anything away from black people. I'm not sure what you're referencing here.

You can care about colorist issues and the disproportionately high rate of poverty for black Americans. Caring is not a zero sum game. Why do you feel it is necessary to devalue women's feelings?

That's exactly the problem—treating women like objects that you can "take" from one race to achieve equality, while simultaneously denigrating darker skinned women.

Model minority is a very problematic term. It pits minorities against each other, underplays real acts of discrimination, and devalues people's individual achievements. I understand what he's saying—that people benefit from networking connections that black people can't compete with— but there is a large difference…

I could get over it with Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, but Yeezus is really not my favorite. I know, I know, it's supposed to be ugly. But "black girl sipping white wine/put my fist in her like a civil rights sign." I get it, I just really hate it. It's so violent. The RapGenius annotation says something like, "Oh,…

Yeah, I see what you're saying. I think a lot of the girls in the club who like those shout outs aren't really thinking about the implications of those lyrics (You're an object!! You're given the same amount of worth as an expensive car!!) but are rather seeing it as an affirmation of their desirability, which is also…

The Awl had an interesting article about Ye's colorism in My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy and Yeezus.

Kanye, for all his enlightenment, still has a lot of problems with color-ism and a fascination with owning and dominating white women as a proxy for black power. Not surprised he strays into casual anti-semitism as well.

I want my innocence back. That was literally the worst thing I've ever read.

I feel like that story should be read to every prospective parents, both as a warning (your kid might vomit all over you and your house at Thanksgiving) but as something kinda sweet, where you love someone so much that you don't get mad at all, and even get up to make them feel better in the middle of the night. It's…

God, I hate the focus on photoshop. You know what made me feel bad about my body? Movie stars on film, no photoshop. The "popular" girls in school, no photoshop. I feel like the focus on photoshop is just treating a symptom, not the overall problem.

Maybe for some WOC. Women—both women of color and white women—have a great deal of variety in their hopes, dreams, desires, and motivations.

Ugh, I've tried composing a few replies but yes, they are all stupid white privilege bullshit.

Hey, this is a really interesting discussion! I have a slight issue with your original characterization of white feminism—rejected might not be the right word, because it connotes sexual rejection and therefore angry, ugly, lesbian feminazis. Maybe "exclusion" is a better way to phrase it? Anyway, I was a little put…

Ugh, hate to say it, but there's probably some pitch correction on that.

Is is weird that one of the things that bothers me about this is all the eye-makeup and hair extensions Carrie Underwood will be wearing? It seems so anti-Maria.

Kanye is furious, just FURIOUS, that someone took Jay-Z's leather boxing shorts seriously.

Are you being sarcastic? Jennifer Lawrence was a model before she was an actress. Because she's so attractive.
