I’m confused.

The sunken place opened up and let him fall straight to bedrock and closed over him. Even it doesn’t want to be seen with him.

He didn’t call her a whore. He said what she did was what brought her fame, which is true. I care about disadvantaged black children not being taken care of, not what people say about how a white woman earned her fame. Putting the focus on the white woman and her feelings is not what we gon’ do today.

I’ll never relate to any black person supporting her or any of her family (including Kanye). Black people who love themselves and take true pride in US would not suffer any of those fools.

Rappers are steadily becoming the architects of their genre’s demise. Frankly, at this point, it’s for the best. If you’re gonna coon and disrespect your people, you don’t deserve to be stacking coins from an artform that comes from black people.

This.

When “not all skinfolk are kinfolk” is graphically illustrated.

I expect it will be heavily edited. I don’t trust them.

Indeed. One of the main reasons community leaders are needed is because cops don’t have our back.

Hmmm.....I’m gonna let them cook, but it’s hard enough keeping racists out of decent people’s spaces, and even harder keeping black spaces from being colonized, so doing something like this does what? This some white fanboy nonsense, and it’ll only direct more messiness towards black folks. I don’t go among racists…

I said what I said, and your response changes not a single sentence. You tried to be cute and sly and I called you on it. I know the conversation you’re trying to have, but you chose the wrong person as an example, acted shady, and assumed a lot in your response. You don’t know the racial makeup of my family; don’t…

What really irks me about Nicki is that she doesn’t know the difference between Japanese, Chinese, and Korean.

My interpretation of cultural appropriation is taking something from another culture and presenting it as your own, particularly things that your people criticize the original culture for, and also not involving said culture to the point of true collaboration. Have I ever worn kimono? Twice. Did Japanese people put it…

I don’t mind her being mentioned, particularly if folks with their own opinions aren’t shut down or labeled as hating if they’re not 100% glowing. We grown folks ‘round ch’ere (or are supposed to be).

They sang ‘Stand By Me,” unless I missed another song.

Bruh (or sis?), what haters, though? Mentioning that she doesn’t identify as black, which she has repeatedly said herself, is not hating, nor is not claiming folks as black who don’t claim blackness themselves. She’s biracial—what, exactly, is the problem with identifying her as she identifies herself? It’s funny how…

I once had a white woman sitting behind me on a plane put her feet up on my arm rest (which I took a photo of, as it featured some fascinating form of fungi).

The fact that they see racism as a card to play let’s you know what time it is.

Crime stats are b.s., somewhat, when you take into account that white folks are more likely to get a slap on the wrist or a pass for crimes committed that minorities are actually arrested and convicted for.

Black folks get the cops called on us for stuff like walking our dogs and here she go stepping way over the line and invading black folks’ personal, private space.
