I appreciate the gender inclusivity. You’re right, this is being investigated as a homicide. Neither of us definitively know what happened, as evidenced by your use of “likely.” I’m leaning towards it being a homicide, as well. But, my point was that even if she took her own life, I understand why, and it in no way…

So it’s OK for Nicky to sell a very stereotypical and sexualized black female body? Is that supposed to be more empowering or something?

Not everyone who is hopeless takes their own life. My IF was in the “no matter the truth.” Admittedly, this was not worded perfectly. But, the “this shit” portion should denote that I am not okay with what happened in the video. We cool now, or no?

I couldn’t. Did you read this whole thread? I was commenting on whether she was murdered or took her own life. I should have worded it better, but hitting show all replies is also your friend. :)

Totally agree. I meant whether she was murdered or took her own life.

For saying that IF she took her own life I could understand why? You’re welcome.

You do realize the President of the U.S. has basically zero power over state and local police forces, right?

Clinton or Sanders when neither has adequately addressed this urgent problem.

Ms, Hatchet how would you feel if someone told you that all you had to do to stop being invisible is stop eating, get a tan, work out, whiten your teeth, dye your hair, get a boob job, wear flashy/skimpy clothes, and drive a Miata?

There was no apology. There was a retraction (read: a cover-up), some doubling-down by @max_read and company (who still support the original blackmail article), and otherwise general silence across the website. Not only did I see the responses, I remarked on the entire situation, got 1600+ favorites on my commentary,…

“That’s how it is for women. For men? Eh. It might come up. Eventually. When you’re almost 50.”

Yeah. This article is shit, and these sites are turning to shit.

Then you are in the same boat as this guy and you need answers too - I think you must have been “invisible” for more than just a few years now to have built up such negative feelings toward men. The guy in the message doesn’t show that he knows/cares anything about the state you are in but at least he doesn’t sound…

but it is also reality that things are always worse for a black woman. So no white women have valid feelings or concerns.... but also its far worse to be a black disabled women so no able bodied black women have any valid feelings or concerns.... or maybe things aren't so "black and white" and all people have varying…

Uh, no, I fucking lose it when a website publishes a gay-shaming blackmail article, their staffers remove the article without any admission of guilt or apology, and then they proceed to find new targets to assail.

WHY ARE YOU EXPLAINING IT.

Are you fucking kidding me? Bella Thorne? After all the posts Jezebel has made regarding whitewashing in Hollywood (several of which are listed at the bottom of this very post), you seriously think that Bella Fucking Thorne is the right person to play a Middle Eastern princess? Were you just not willing to actually…

Holy shit you white-washed this cast.
