Even if what you’re saying is what happened, which is unlikely given the historical pattern of this happening for exactly the reason Nyong’o stated, the fact that they did so without a thought as to what it would mean for the struggle for Black hair acceptance is enough reason for her “ugly and disparaging” remarks,…

Why do you hope this? In what way would this further the cause of Black female empowerment and hair acceptance?

It’s just that this model’s hair isn’t anywhere close to “kinky.” At all. By any stretch of the definition. And read some history. There hasn’t been an ongoing war in American and European media against Indian hair. There has been an ongoing war (and that is not overstating it) against Black female hair. You are…

1) How is that self-serving?

You’ll just defend to the death someone else’s right to do it. lol

I know several Trump voters.

Surely you don’t find it unclear that women don’t prefer to be called “females,” though.

I think FastFreddy666 has just opened his ears and listened when women spoke. I am a woman, and I along with many, many other women don’t like to be referred to as “females.” If you listen when women speak you too can be privy to this information. You could probably even search Google right now and see lots of women…

It’s really...quite bad. I get what’s going on—they want her to look quirky but not overtly feminine. But she looks kind of like a clown. I’m hoping the outfit will grow on me when I see how she wears it in the role, but for now I’m not loving it.

Probably way fewer of them drink Jim Beam than even they think.

lol Don’t be so paranoid. I said I wasn’t insinuating anything. I just thought there might be an interesting story behind why you had that bit of trivia in your brain, like maybe you used to work for a government agency in Tibet or something.

How do you know that? I’m not saying you don’t—I’m just really curious as to why you know it.

Sounds like a confession of like crimes to me.

Because who does it affect besides him? Because criminalizing a person’s preference in food is hardly something that legislators should be wasting their time on?

I don’t know. In my experience people who say that usually don’t actually have that big of a problem with what was said, and have even less of an understanding of what that “right” actually entails.

“of course you’re allowed to be stressed! i’m stressed as hell! i never said, and wouldn’t say, that you can’t be stressed!” 

You right tho.

That makes zero sense. So if a victim of sexual assault insisted at me that the Earth was flat and called me an idiot for believing it was round I couldn’t say, no, you’re a dumbass? Just because they were a victim of sexual assault? Victims of sexual assault can be wrong about things too, and they can also be jerks.…

It’s not slander if it’s true. And why isn’t it the way to go?

You do realize that no one is insulting you *because* you were the victim of sexual assault, right? They are speaking down to you because your arguments are strawmen and basic BS. You don’t get to say some strawmanny BS and then claim that no one can call it what it is because you are a victim of sexual assault. The…
