You're unable to see non-aggressive forms of racism as racism. I get it.

And yet she is.

I don't think it's a huge problem but it is a little icky. People are allowed to have squick feelings sometimes though.

It vaguely reminds me of that show The 4400 where the guy from the 50's and the granddaughter of the woman he was in love with before he disappeared got together. That dude could have been your grandfather...ick.

Listen, okay? Iggy Azalea would never make it on her own steam rapping in her own accent using her own artistic voice. She has to blatantly copy black female rappers and women in general to seem in and down. She can do that all she wants to but it's not authentic and I will not support her. Everyone wants to play…

It's so sad. I still remember my afternoon lineup. Sabrina the Teenaged Witch, TRL, homework, and dinner with General Hospital episodes recorded via the VCR with Mom.

I don't see it as being on board with all of his views and songs. It's fact that he came onto the scene as himself and not a caricature of Dr. Dre. Some of his most popular songs speak to his own inner demons and are not specifically trying to capitalize of sounding black or pretending to be black.

Does it prevent black people from making money from music? No. Not in a way that would exclude them completely based on their blackness. What it does do is take all of the hard work that black female rappers have done over decades and paint a white face on it to make money.

Right?! This is ridiculous. Wake the fuck up people. If this cover up were the actual reason behind the shooting the cops would have had this out waved in front of everyone's faces days ago. There would have been no need to arrest journalists and force them out of reporting on this. They would have leaned into it and…

Yup. The dreaded planogram for the holidays commences at most stores I've worked at in October. When people are looking for pumpkin stuff we were all like "Get your Santa crap. We have creepy nutcracker frames!"

I know right? I just want it to be perma-fall. I melt in the summer and become a hermit from June to September.

Legally he isn't a child. However he barely got to start his adult life and to some that leaves him permanently a child in their eyes.

You know what I'm tired of? The intense need people have to shove poor white folks into the same category as poor black folks. Especially considering poor blue collar white folks were the arm that rich white folks most often used to antagonize black folks. The Chicago race riots come to mind. Blacks were often…

Maybe not to spite the mourners but it was a stupid response. They should have stationed themselves a street or so back. It wouldn't have hampered them much to not be directly involved with the vigil after their department was the reason for the gathering in the first place. They represented their earlier violence by…

This is something I'm honestly struggling with. My partner and I are coming to that point in our relationship/lives where having children is a thing we're discussing more often. We're both black and I honestly don't feel like I would have it in me. Being a mother of a black child in America means there is a high…

I'm over it at this point. Until they broadcast an affluent white kid getting shot in his cul de sac by police on the news no one will care. Today I feel defeated. There's always something to criticise about situations like these. The reality is that this kid had his hands up, was cooperating when he was murdered. He…

Then where is the right place? When black people see that their children can be murdered at will by white americans and know that the law is not on their side something very serious happens to how they feel about their safety. And by white americans I am talking about those that carry out the systemic oppression and…

That or the fact that because she just had a baby she has other things to worry about that are probably more important than her battle with Nicki.

Honestly if she had come out in the beginning it would have worked better in her favor. She stayed quiet for too long. Still as a veteran of the game she should have kept up with her talent and ignored Nicki.

Especially for female rappers. I'm sorry but with so few in the mainstream they needed to team up.
