I was convinced by Aviator.

Actually, it's a pretty solid statement. It doesn't attempt to be absolute in the way your 100%, I've interviewed less privileged people who took their violence outside of their family and community, claims.

Is that what it'll take? How about this: if you add up the number of deaths across an entire city, like say, Chicago, you could get a class worth. Will it count then?

I have natural hair, and I don't do that. And I know other women with natural hair that don't either. And I imagine they know other women who don't do that...maybe you should expand your circles?

I recently learned this is more about the delicate nature of black hair, climate, and hair care. As more black women have embraced their natural hair as adults, more is being learned about the best way to care for black hair, which in turn has allowed many black women to grow their hair to be quite long. Actually many…

So what do we do? As a parent, I want to make sure my child is exposed to positive images of many types of people, and if that can't happen, I will make sure they know they exist, and call out and limit the lies they are continually exposed to. This type of response, the laissez-faire, it is what it is, is bull-shit.…

Never fails to amaze me how many experts of what is and is not racist feel the right to make definitive judgements about what isn't racist. For me, anyone who feels at ease with going to the N word like it's nothing, particularly if you're old, white, and male, I'm less likely to think deep down he has great respect…

Thank you for sharing this. It is great to hear people get called out for this and, as a black person, feels really awesome that white people were leading this effort. I will try not to think about the fact that it's 2012 and teenagers continue to be raised with these beliefs. It's best to think of the mountain as…

I'm sorry, but your standard for measuring talent is low. I don't think Minaj is talented. In the category of entertainment, I'm prepared to discuss the appeal. I would say that Christina Aguilera doesn't below in this group. She is a very good singer, as is Mariah Carey. Now, the question of whether or not they…

Awesome. Thank you.

Fail.

Absolutely. And, she sucks as a rapper. It's laughable that she thinks that is what she does, and the women you mention in point a. were more relatively talented, i.e., actually rapped.

Since heart disease kills more women, and even doctors don't know what a heart attack looks like in women, isn't this more about preventing a society of tit-less women? Because THAT would be an unacceptable reality for what, half of the population. www.goredforwomen.org

You know, I can imagine being the first black president isn't the easiest thing in the world to do. And given the way most people either wanted him to be all magic negro-y and save the planet for everyone, which plays out in media, maybe a brother might show up a little tired. Maybe when he's out of office, and…

No. That can only happen when Hollywood becomes post-racial which is a lame way of referring to a time no one can imagine when white people aren't the only ones making and writing movies about the coloreds.

I'd love to read a well written book on this topic! Sounds like this is you!
