Black women are the only group that has to deal with this kind of hatred from male counterparts.

Why do people keep saying the tweets were old? Some of them were from last summer. He stayed consistent in his anti-black beliefs for at least three years. Clearly, he lived his life based on them too, as evidenced by his encouragement of his Asian baby mama’s hatred of black women and his ironic dismissal of BLM…

What astounds me is how OK we were ... how OK I have been ... with this particular plotline for what – 30 FREAKING YEARS? Why? Were we all collectively asleep?

One thing that really throws me on this conversation is that the Vixen is not a woman. The Vixen is a character that is a portrayal of a woman by a man. So when he comes into the show saying The Vixen came to fight, then gets into this argument about the stereotype of the angry black woman after the previous episode…

Yeah, I agree with Rooo, this isn’t a controversial sentiment in the slightest and one that I’ve felt for ages.

I agree. I think there is an expectation that black women are just used to suffering and maybe even prefer it. We don’t. We want to be like everyone else just living. We don’t have to support people who hate us as a group. We don’t have that responsibility, not to black men, not to anyone.

I’ll go ahead and jump this off with my unpopular opinion. “but Clark’s death is bigger than him and the unsavory things he tweeted three years ago.” This is true...but when do Black women get our time to make our issues bigger than everyone else? We’ve been marching and protesting for everyone else since the…

Idaho Lawmaker Who Maybe Wanted to Execute People for Abortion Has Second Thoughts

Have you seen I love dick? The premise was weird but damn she was so great. i really loved it

Me too me too! Super exciting! Although I love all her movies, my fave is Lovely and Amazing.

I dunno, I kind of think we’d be better off as a society if we didn’t use length of time as the main metric for judging the success of a relationship.

There are all sorts of suspicious stories circulating about Brinkley in relation to Meek, including allegations that in 2016 she asked the rapper and his then-girlfriend Nicki Minaj to do a remake of the Boyz II Men classic “On Bended Knee.”

Do we require any male freedom fighters to be saints?

How are we supposed to feel about Malcolm X knocking down FBI and Elijah informants, assasins... and being able to celebrate his 81st birthday rather than dying at 39?

With any civil rights movement (including India, SA, USA), there are two sides that make progress happen: the nice, polite, non-violent MLKs, and the we will fucking kill you all Malcom X’s. The MLKs go to the people in power and say, “We can hold Malcolm back if you work with us. If you don’t, God be with you.”

I don’t understand the “either/or” I’m seeing about her in the comments.

In many ways I think this is one of the fairer rationalisations for a woman who was called to be both a fighter and a leader in circumstances where her race and her gender could not even begin to conceptualise either for a black woman.

Black women are often left to be the hands and feet of our civil rights movement while men get to be the lionized, sanitized leaders.

RIP WINNIE MANDELA.. A legitimate black warrior and hero!

Winnie was also more militant than her then husband Nelson, which led to their divorce. I can only surmise she was able to pass peacefully knowing that South Africa is taking back much of their farmland from the colonizers. Rest in power!
