Wrong nose, wrong face shape, wrong body. Aaliyah was lithe and tomboyish. Ciara modeled her entire style off of her. THAT girl looks nothing like her. I could maybe ignore it if they actually resembled each other in the way that JLO sort of resembled Selena but no. There are super clear differences that "acting and…

But can you at least accept that there IS a privilege to being biracial? I'm mixed myself and very light and even I notice it when out with darker toned friends. That mess is there whether we like it or not. No accepting that is being just as shitty as people side eyeing you for being lighter. It's saying that it…

There were issues then, too. Only there wasn't an online community to show the backlash. Selena was darker than JLO, too.

Umm I remember a fairly recent article after Star Trek where she clearly identified as Latina and not Black. I'm going to look for it in my mess of a bookmarks folder. I remembered it because it was recommended to me but I didn't have time to read it so I had to save it for later.

Recently this topic came up amongst friends who were "crying" over how terrible people were being about this. I simply turned to them and said "If there were going to be a biopic about Marilyn Monroe, would it be okay if she were played by a Scottish woman. By that I mean full accent, different hair, and a tartan with…

I think that, well at least for me, when people hate on Beyonce on here it's more the way it's done rather than it happened at all. Beyonce does have the "perfection" persona and many people agree that there are hardly any scandals around her. So then when anything is posted about her AT ALL people come shrieking out…

Fuuuuuuuck. It's Selina all over again. There are plenty of black female actresses that actually look like Aaliyah and could play her. But please don't cast an actress that's lighter than her and looks absolutely nothing like her.

Really? Is it because she's wearing a weave?

It would be way more important to NOT give the 4 year old notoriety and TO give the accused man a platform to speak on this issue so it won't be swept under the rug. THIS is how people become IGNORANT to things going on in the black community.

What? Are you debating that those things didn't happen because clearly they did. So what's ignorant about them or this person for posting it?

I knew this would turn into a story focusing on how the sweet little white girl saved his life instead of how absolutely fucked up the police are in that area to even show up with snipers and question this man for hours without any evidence.

He does say horrible things about black women.

Oops.

Well, you're not wrong. That is all I can say about him before I explode into a long winded diatribe about how black women should never EVER support him or his ilk. He has a serious hard on for the madonna/whore complex and a general seething hate for black women. We're always either evil, whores, stupid, or damsels…

Clearly he saw Cry Baby and is a fan.

How is there a problem with that? Her father was an experienced driver who didn't have fucking night vision to see the parked car in the left lane with no blinkers on. I guess we are all a special kind of stupid for not being able to see a parked car on the highway at night.

But that isn't every case though. And drunk driving SHOULD net harsh sentences regardless of what the widow wanted. It sends a message that drunk driving is not a harshly punished crime and makes the risk seem smaller than it is to other people. I don't see this as vengeance but at the very least giving this woman…

Yes! I paused in the wrong place. Right after I posted and then clicked play it went into Miss Cleo getting to fly. This has ruined me for next season. All I'm going to hear in my head in a running commentary on the adventures of Miss Cleo and the Spice Girls.

I had to pause. Miss Cleo and the Spice Girls? Is Hodor Miss Cleo?! Is he Baby Spice?! Outburst over, unpause.

But can we make it happen though? And instead of the assinine crap they put on there the normal programing could be Spike Lee and Tyler Perry in a cage match.
