A woman cornered me in a locker room convinced I was Dakota Johnson. I look like her in that i am white and I had bangs at the time...it was super unnerving. Just relax and smile to yourself if you notice a celeb doppelganger. No need to share with the class!
Yeah, “people are funny about money” is probably the overarching thing here. It helps to accept that but i’ll still bitch in private lol.
Dang, great analysis!
lay off my scalp color but stars for everything else ;P
“Bo Derek braids” looking ragged as hell lmao
“spicy white” omfg i’m crying
1. White boys are scary af and not subject to ANY scrutiny. (And when they are, you could easily end up dead, like those parents.)
blonded is SOOOOOO good.
Just finished The Hate U Give and What It Means When A Man Falls from the Sky. Now awaiting some holds on books by Jesmyn Ward. And Patrisse Khan-Cullors and Tiffany Hadish’s books. *rubs hands together eagerly*
Bar exam flashbacks!
This is a great distillation of why the white cop thing made me upset. Especially because i thought it was sort of a one-off thing and then the whole section of the movie is about him! Like good grief shut up.
I liked Dunkirk but I got tired of the typical Nolan “tricksy” timing and absurd Zimmer score. Go Get Out!
I answered your question literally in order to point out that comparing Mo’Nique to two black men and one white woman is tenuous at best and actually pretty harmful at worst because her situation is entirely different. Of course Netflix is looking at their bottom line. And of course they are sexist and racist in their…
I guess they really have something against Mo’Nique (not gonna even get into why that might be :/ ). These comments here have really pissed me off and I don’t follow her career/consider myself a fan.
Because black women experience both sexism and racism in unique ways that contribute to their devaluation?
The first tweet from ‘Carlisa’ sums up the problematic message that white people will take from this. I’ll probably watch because I love step and I loved Bring It On (I was a cheerleader).
some of my regrets about my coercive experiences stem from inadvertently training those partners that they could continue the bad behavior :( (I don’t blame myself, it’s def more on them, but it’s really sad)
And if that’s our metric for “bad date,” like it’s acceptable then SHIT. holy fucking shit.
