I agree and disagree with you. It would be nice to have more women who have the skin color of, say, Lupita Nyong'o on the cover of magazines. Unfortunately due to the world wide belief that dark skin isn't beautiful and the people with this skin color aren't valuable, you don't see that. But I wouldn't dimiss this as…

"Cramblett goes on to say that she doesn't know much about black people and it's a lot to learn; in addition, her small Ohio home of Uniontown is "too racially intolerant."
I know the But Free Speech brigade aren't known for thinking things through, but I don't know how anyone can think that free speech constitutes yelling abuse at someone.
Yeah, read the coverage of the Trayvon Martin case. It was said many times that because he was wearing a hoodie, he looked like a "thug".
Race and class are intersectional, not separate. A rich white man is more likely to give poor white men the opportunity to climb the social ladder than a poor person of color.
I don't know what's more pathetic: the racist tweets or the fact that people are STILL obsessed with Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart as a couple. Jk, of course the former is more pathetic. I never understood why people get so emotionally attached to celebrity couples though, and why they think it's a good idea to…
White people are so afraid of being called racist that they can't take a step back, look at their own assumptions, exercise some self awareness and say to themselves, "Yes, I am also kind of a racist, because I live in a society that, until less than 50 years ago, was trying to make white supremacy work, and my…
Sure, America loves a comeback narrative. She's a loveable mascot for every American who has ever been upset that they can't say the "N" word when "all those rap songs do." And besides, since the narrative has only focused on how she said the "N" word once in a fit of anger, and ignored her other (equally troubling)…
This has been on my mind for the longest time. Many a time white men have shown anger more than any other emotion. Just go on Tinder. It's extremely easy to piss off a white dude there. But white men have the privilege of being seen as complex human beings who aren't defined by one emotion.

I disagree with everything you just said. Cultural appropriation isn't simply "borrowing" from other cultures. When people talk about Miley Cyrus and her instances of cultural appropriation, they're talking about the fact that she uses aspects of black culture for her monetary gain. She may supposedly enjoy being…
I am so, so, so angry so I'm going to apologize in advance for the tone of this post:
As a women of color currently serving her term as an enlisted member of the United States military, I thought I might comment. They shaved my head in boot camp because I refused to have my hair cornrowed, just as I refuse to chemically relax my hair. Not to put too fine a point on it, I did this voluntarily, and I…
Easy now. It does mean one thing to the vast majority of north americans and europeans, but after spending time in Northern India and Nepal and working/living with Tibetans, it is easy to have your perspective shifted. You'd see the symbol a lot and at first it is a shock to North American sensibilities, but after a…
I'd like to follow your lead and recommend that everyone follow the National Women's History Museum on Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/womenshistory). They do exactly what you did-they highlight amazing women in history who have made an impact. The only difference is that they put up daily informational posts. …
Since absolutely nothing spoken from Cumia's mouth should be considered intelligent, I choose to bring attention to the deeds of an individual that is far more worthy of attention and negates this ignorant man's argument. Let me introduce Katherine Johnson, a black research mathematician who worked in the all-male…
