Can you see the color flow from brown, to taupe, to the palest of onion skin? Then, that’s all you need.

I made the “Kevin’s black ass is going to cheat with a succession of lighter chicks” flowchart years ago. Before he blew up, he and I got into an internet argument on Young, Black and Fabulous when he made a “light skin girls can’t take a punch” and he was all, “My wife and daughter are dark skinned!” And I was like,

He ain’t talking to anyone who would take two seconds to look at Kap’s profile. He knows his audience is just glad to hear a black man diss another one. Same muhfuckas who’ll throw up a Morgan “Voice of God” Freeman quote decrying the existence of racism. Useta be Bill “Pull Ya Pants Up” Cosby, but Freeman’s taken his

Y’all HAVE to have seen that tweet comparing him to Carl Thomas’ album cover!!!!! “I Wish I Never Met Her Ass!” LMAO!

Yep. Funny how folks expressions changed in London and Paris after I opened my mouth and my American accent came out. It soured the experience for me because the whole time I was thinking, “So, if I was one of Y’ALL’s negroes, what then?!”

Tragic.

Ghost is dead. The Red Witch must have used him to bring Jon back from the dead in the next novel. It’s elided from the tv series, of course. What did they expect us to do, NOT notice?

But it’s attached to Tiger, so, no.

I woke up wondering this: Is Baby Sam “owed” to the Night King? Would that come up as a plot point during the big battle? I’m scared for that cute kid.

Pearl, here: The space of which I speak is between caste and class. It, indeed, exists. I applauded her acknowledgement of that space and you seem to suggest even mentioning it offers absolution to those who would ignore racial inequities. I get geeked out when reading Margo Jefferson’s Negroland, a memoir on an

I live in the midwest but I’m from Arkansas. It’s just as bad. Matterfact, I’d say it’s even worse. At least in the south, I know where I stand with everyone within seconds. We’ve got that shit DOWN. Up here, muhfuckas play with you for a second and then show their hands. Hotdishes don’t make up for it. Almost, but

It’s in four months, tho. Trump might not be in office in four months.

It was discussed on Jez when it happened, so... 

Is this a sponsored post? Cuz...

LOL at all the Asian actors who will never be cast in a prestige show or film in order to gain a social media following so that they will could be cast in a prestige show or film in order to...fuck ‘em (my kids are asian).

Every athlete has to have a healthy helping of genetics. Every tech mogul had to have been smart. But what makes them successful? I’m not going to sit on the sidelines of a football game and talk about “extra ligaments” and 400 years of breeding. The people on the field of play are either helped to be where they are

She “believes” in it, but is still fat, so what’s the deal?

I watched five minutes of KCW a couple of days ago and thought, “Yeah. Replace this chick.” Just...no. Not like I would even watch it with Leah Remini on it, but still...

So, for the minorities and women who make it, what should they attribute it to? Luck? Innate talent? I think that type of thinking is what causes hella survivor’s guilt. If they cannot attribute their success to their own determination and effort, while acknowledging the fortune of being in the right place, with the

I don’t follow anyone on IG either. I just got into the somewhat creepy habit of looking at it after she graduated to see how she was doing. I’m emotionally invested in the Jacksons as if they were the black version of the Kennedys.
