thank you. my late partner was obsessed with kayne because they both had bipolar, so it’s particularly painful for me to watch. but kanye’s episodes just get more heartbreaking. i hate that people mock a sick, sick man. 

This is classic whataboutism. We can talk about policing people’s identities. But, raising it now just because we are talking about colorism smacks of deflection. Dark skin women are called names indicating they are “too black/dark” and receive racist treatment. White adjacentness takes the off some of the indignities…

You don’t have a coherent argument. Either colorism is not real, or it’s real and too pervasive to do anything about it (nice defeatism there by the way). Ask yourself why you feel you can confidently dismiss any merit to the conversation. Since you are policing “real women’s issues”, please provide a list of issues…

Your feelings of discomfort are valid as light-skinned people aren’t ultimately responsible for white supremacy favoring proximity to whiteness.

As a mom of a beautiful biracial daughter, and soon to be baby boy, I hear you on the ridiculous of calling biracial people not X enough. My daughter is black because I’m black. However, I can also tell you as a dark skinned woman, colorism is real. I grew up convinced I wasn’t attractive because my skin was too dark…

I object to your stance that lighter is more attractive and that’s the main problem right there. You’re right the Jezebel has less of a leg to stand on than they used to but beautiful women like Issa Rae, Micheala Cole, and more would have been more appropriate than Zazie Beetz.

I agree. This is reminding me of the jokes when Brittney was manic and shaved her head, etcetera: yes, these celebrities are seen in the public eye, but they might also be people with a mental illness. Mocking them can only add to the stigma.

Well, I mean. In Ye’s case, it’s possible he has a disabling mental illness…

There is definitely merit to what Sarah Silverman is saying. And as a Jewish woman who runs in circles with other Jewish women, we’ve all been talking about it non-stop since the video went up yesterday.

And then what? What happens after you “win” this stupid game? A relationship built on deception, wherein the guy that you’re dating doesn’t really know the real you... and is attracted to this inauthentic version of you? How long do you keep that up? What are you really “winning” at here?

I have always contended that evo psych was invented by middle-aged college professors to justify being predatory towards barely legal coeds.

Evolutionary psychology is such a scam rooted conveniently in patriarchy and capitalism.

I don’t know who was looking at Aaliyah and not seeing an unmistakably black woman (mostly teen since she died when she was 22). Clearly, someone who hasn’t spent any time around black people. She’s not racially ambiguous and can’t pass for white. We’re not talking about Mariah or Halsey.

Mayim Bialik’s problems aside. I’m tired of how we keep offering women “second best” roles. Give the damn job to Mayim Bialik if you think she is qualified to host. Period. Stop with these “deputy/vice” roles which only relegate women to the back up plan. Bialik won’t have to wait too long though. It’s only a matter…

LaVar Burton was robbed! He’s perfect for that role.

Noone will discuss Captain America with me.

Yet at the same time he is a dude who longs for the simpler times of the 1940s and whose ultimate prize is to go back to live comfortably in that world despite having become utterly aware of all the discrimination of that era.

My psycho stepfather was constantly trying impress some kind of toxic masculine example on me as a kid because he thought I was a “little fag” and a “sissyboy” because I preferred reading to sports. He tried to teach me to fight once by slapping my face over and over and telling me to hit him back. When I did, he told…

I would never in a million years wear these, and I am a sucker for anything seventies-inspired. I cannot wear heels and have no desire to try, and have no desire to buy footwear I can’t walk in.

But... but... it’s still a 3.25" heel, if it’s 5.25" heel - a 2" platform. I understand about not being flexible, but doesn’t the height of the heel still bother your toes? Speaking as someone who also has arthritis in my toes and metatarsals, I’d be afraid to try them on.

Sounds like Jamie Spears is behaving irrationally. I’m concerned about his recent behavior and overall mental health, based on his behavior here. Maybe someone should step in and take the reins.
