You'll have to fight me boo!

Hummm, well, there does seem to be a pattern doesn't there. Certain people doing things and automatically being given benefit of the doubt and assumed the best. Beyonce doing it and being called the worst.

Whilst I don't beleive your one of them there are many people saying. If any artist ever did anything like this I…

Except she didn't use audio of people dying. She used audio of a NASA officer on the ground.

Good for them! It's nice to learn new things.

She's a babe. I'd check her out too. K-fam haters in 5....4....3...2.......

The real outrage re: Ani was not even just the retreat, but the racist sockpuppeting that went down in the comment section on her page discussing it. I mean "LaQueeta"? Really? And the horrible fake ebonics? Shit, man.

I'm sadly not that surprised by Ani's sentiment. I go to a mainly white university and am a Women's Studies minor (they don't have the major, the bastards). I am also usually the only black female in most of my courses. I sometimes notice that though the other students consider themselves feminists and will quickly go…

I know, today is the day they want to act like the normal standard of writing here is on par with the New Yorker?

Once again, Jezebel readers/commentators show their utmost lack of self-awareness and finely tuned skill for derailment.

Sorry, white men and women in antebellum America had an opportunity to oppose or to embrace slavery. Many white women loved (and still love) not only their privilege, but the ability to control and to oppress someone weaker. This could include their own children as well as slaves. There were white women who owned…

You're right, lets play the white women have it worse than everyone else game

Non privileged groups?

How shocked are you, really?

No, it makes a presumption that white women and black women seemingly "naturally" mistrust one another because culturally we are subtly raised around the notion that we live in different worlds, which the author is saying is a lingering byproduct of slave days when we did inhabit very different roles in society, with…

I find it interesting that folks choose this moment and this essay to start critiquing writing style and grammatical errors. This blog is fucking rife with errors daily that drive me bananas, but I've rarely seen so much commentary on those issues until this essay. Let's focus on the fucking content rather than…

Yes, let's talk about how hard slavery was FOR WHITE WOMEN, too. Because to make it an important issue, the suffering of white women must be observed and commented on. Sigh.

I very much agree. The "suffering" of wealthy white Southern women—who were certainly the minority of white women— is a drop in the ocean compared to their slaves.

for those of you interested in exploring this theme deeper, check out Thavolia Glymph's Out of the House of Bondage. she tears apart the idea that white women were allies to black women on account of their womanhood and shows the deep and intense violence, anger, hatred, and torture they meted out to their domestic…

I'm not sure how I feel about this. This has a very strong "Won't somebody please think of the white people?!" vibe to it.

She's saying that our failure to resolve those issues is the reason that there was a need for such a hashtag.
