I hate the mall. As a Black girl, the mall was hell. My figure (though I’m petite) worked nowhere in the 80s and 90s. And, to top it off, I got followed around because employees stereotyped me and thought I’d jack all their stuff. The last thing still happens today.

My first response was to call the police and provide more evidence of his abusive past. That seems to be the consensus.

I thought the exact same things.

This was nice. Plus Method looks good as hell.

It takes a very long and gross process for white folks to try to “lock” their hair. I have a problem with them locking.

He doesn’t tweet about this stuff now that he’s in office. He ignores it... unless it’s in Europe.

Fuck L’Oreal. I guess Jezebel didn’t cover their firing of Munroe Burgdorf for speaking truth to racist, oppressive power. But, the Root did.

Yes, it’s odd that a boss would give a reference with a door open and while the person in question is around.

I guess I’m in the minority, but the statement made by your current boss didn’t seem that bad to me. She called you smart - which any prospective employer would want. She didn’t say you are cold and quiet, she said you’re kind of cold and quiet when someone first meets you. To me, that sounds like she’s just saying it…

what made your urban neighborhood unsafe?

Please tell that to HuskyBro up earlier in the comments. That fool thinks shorts and t-shirts would have kept the criticism at bay.

That’s funny. My first thought was she’s a dead ringer for Chelsea Clinton.

Can we get a shout-out to Cecilia Vega, the reporter who asked the original question in this clip? She clearly is over this administration.

I just told a friend who sent me this story that this shit goes down because misogyny is a farce and white supremacy is a farce. They made it possible to justify the horrible second-class citizenship of minorities and women. They’re fucking trolling us. In this case it was let’s just make up something to cover for our…

One more thing. Your comment reminded me of this commercial, which I hate for its misogyny. Like the husband wouldn’t rub it in her face if he was one grade higher.

His heart won’t break. People like this are miserable and don’t know love because they don’t love themselves.

My take on this is similar to what a Jezzie said a while back about abusers. Is he like that with everyone or just you? Does he tell his bosses, coworkers and siblings how weak they’re being or brag about his resilience to them?

Girl.

My master’s adviser told me the same thing when I turned 30 and I’ve not forgotten it. He said it’s the decade where your physical strength, emotional strength and intellectual capacity are all on par.

Your school should have a work-based learning or experiential learning office dedicated to vetting employers and maintaining the “contracts” between you and the internship location.
