My head is still spinning from all the people defending Smith. People I typically respect and who have opinions I nearly always agree with. Plus turning it into a racial thing is bizarre to me, and yes I understand the complexity of black women and hair, but it's not about the stupid joke, but about Will's reaction.…

Can we stop pretending that Jay Z cares about anyone other than Jay Z? It was crazy how many people were excited for him to get involved with the NFL, thinking it gave black people a seat at the table. No, it just gave Jay Z a seat and nothing has improved for black players, coaches, staff, etc

Didn't Richard Williams abandon his other children? He's far from someone who should be applauded as a defender of his family

Good take. Being a comedian doesn’t mean someone can say whatever cruel thing they want with impunity BUT I’m sick of people acting like it’s the end of the world anytime a comedian says something insensitive. Award shows like the Oscars, Golden Globes, have a very long history of making insensitive jokes at the…

Can we stop comparing alopecia to cancer? Would you defend a white man punching a black comedian for making a joke? 

Cancer kills, alopecia doesn't

I never understand people who say he should be primaried. Like, have you been to West Virginia? The focus should be on electing more Dem senators from purple states. We're damn lucky we have a senator from one of the reddest states who at least votes with the Dems on a few things, as opposed to nothing. 

Especially since China has been making huge investments in Africa over the years, and to a lesser but still substantial, Russia too. It’d be a huge mistake for the US and Europe not to do the same

I'm surprised to see the article didn't mention all the black women celebs who have just unfollowed her. Guess they've chosen their side and it's really sad and infuriating that Meg can't even get support from other black women 

Why do you feel the need to be insulting/aggressive? I hardly think having an opinion on a Jezebel article from a couple years ago means I have a habit of policing high school sports. I tried to find the article but wasn’t able to so yea, I apologize if I’m not remembering it correctly. I don’t think trans people…

I've always considered myself to be very progressive, but I've felt some unease (not the best word but can't think of a better one) with saying things like trans women are real women, even if they haven't done anything to transition besides change their name and pronouns. I'm sorry but if someone refuses hormones,…

Agreed. I don’t think being trans should automatically disqualify anyone from competing. But a couple years ago there was a big uproar over 2 trans highschool girls competing in women's track. I apologize if I'm not remembering correctly, but I'm pretty sure they hadn't started a medical transition. Many progressives…

I feel like there’s room for nuanced discussions regarding trans people in sports, however, conservatives are not interested in that. For people claiming to care sooooo much about women’s sports, they certainly never cared about it before trans people started openly competing. Never in my life have I seen so many…

I'm confused as to who his fans even are these days. What percentage of them are black vs white Trump supporters? Plus there's so much incredible talent out there, how do people still consider him a "genius"?

I normally don't root for even shitty people to die, but I make an exception for his case. I was disappointed it wasn't more serious. Be a real shame if his IV line somehow got filled with air

They called her, after becoming suspicious of a "family emergency" excuse for not coming to work. The only reason I see you suspend her is that no one likes working with a compulsive liar

Because people who identify as super liberal are primarily white. POC as a whole are not as liberal as white liberals think they are

One maybe, not all of them

Not every black person's death is a hate crime. He was on drugs, shooting an assault rifle and threatening people at gun point. Hallucinations and guns are not a good combination. I don't understand the need to make certain cases national news except to outrage us, when there's enough to be outraged by. This, the girl…

I'm getting a little sick of various media outlets criticizing their viewers and readers for not caring enough about atrocities in the middle east and Africa, when these media outlets never report about them. People can't care about things that they don't know are happening. I loved Al Jazeera America because they…
