Well, when your self esteem is based on feeling better than a certain group then of course you lose your mind when someone of that minority group challenges your false sense of superiority.

Generally when Black women start dominating a "traditionally white sports" that's when they start talking about the lack of elegance, the lack of artistry, and how now it's all about strength and blablah.

Huh. Doesn't matter if its ballet, gymnastics or tennis, people legitimately get salty when a black woman dominates in "traditionally white sports".

This would get a contestant sent home on Ink Master.

I've only got the one tattoo, so I'm no expert. I mean, maybe there's a good reason that Lady Gaga's bare ass has to be fully exposed while the artist works on her upper back. Maybe.

My ex-boyfriend and I put one of those locks up. I hope it gets taken down.

When this woman shows her ass, she really puts her back into it.

you don't face anything as a white woman. you face sexism because you are a woman. we (all of us women of color— not just "some") face both racism and sexism because we're women and of color. what's even the point of you saying that you suffer from sexism on this particular article? who doesn't know that white women…

Nice use of the word "haughty," Alessandra. Next time, just say "uppity." We know you're thinking it.

Did anyone else wince about Clair Huxtable being "benign"? Like a tumor! Too bad all those others ones are so...malignant.

I just want to draw some quick attention to this line from Stanley's NYT piece (emphasis mine):

Yeah, black twitter asploded. Also, someone created a screenshot so as not to give the original article any more click-throughs: http://www.donotlink.com/framed?545408

And she has every reason to be angry...just like Olivia has the right to be angry at times as well. I don't get why we have this stupid stereotype. People, HUMANS get angry. Yes, some people ARE angry as well. But, this stupid stereotype that says that as a black woman I wake up angry (flawless?) because life is…

"Ms. Rhimes chose a performer who is older, darker-skinned and less classically beautiful than Ms. Washington, or for that matter Halle Berry."

The only person who is angry, ALL THE TIME, is Mellie. Who is white. Super duper white.

Racist, ageist and sexist all in one article!

Just ... no. Sorry. Big old mess = Total Monet.

yeah I'm kind of amazed at all the white girls commenting to say they have baby hairs too. Congratulations, moron?!

Doesn't matter what the author of the post said, Jez commenters will forever ignore the point of the article and make it about them.

Quick note, I think that this one was found to be a hoax. Those models were actually wearing the durags to flatten their hair before they walked.
