Let me bask in being complimented with Audre Lorde.

My sister got her first sunburn last year and I just remember her rolling around her beg in agony whimpering “I’m black this isn’t supposed to happen”
I burn and I’m from the islands. Not light skinned either.
Actually yes, Black southerners were quite instrumental in creating country music too.
Ooohhh, good point. That bitch cursed me!
Wait.... we’re supposed to be naturally cool?? I need to speak to the manager for a refund because I’m completely missing this “cool”.
Oh if you listen to the racists at my old uni getting into college and jobs. Affirmative Action apparently made racism against whites a thing. Dumb ass racists!
We age super well.
You are singing the song of my people. My dad was forever trying to gain weight and he let me eat anything that popped into my head. He’s now a skinny old man & I’m rocking a mom bod (think egg on legs). If you figure out how to embrace healthy lifestyle changes SELL ME YOUR BOOK. (I still believe that ice cream =…
We age super well. There’s that. Oh, and we’re like, naturally cool and creative, as evidenced by most of American culture being based off of stuff we make up. Every type of American music style, for instance.
It’s funny, because I remember going to a party when I was about 22 and a 26 year old woman who wasn’t even that big just looked at me, shook her head, and said, “I used to be skinny like you. You just wait. In three or four years, this will be you.” I shrugged it off at the time, thinking Nope, genetics are on my…
Yeah, 26 is about when things changed for me to where I couldn’t just not eat as much to lose a few pounds after a few days. I’m 30 now and if I drink sodas everyday or eat crap then it shows pretty fast but takes a loooooooong time of trying to eat right to fit my old pants. My brother is 32 and is still rail thin…
I am so there with you.
My mom and her sisters have always been average- to big-sized women, but everyone on my dad’s side of the family is “crackhead skinny,” as my brother used to say. I was always so thin, I was convinced I’d taken after dad’s side. NOPE! I eat relatively well and go for lots of walks, so I feel like this is just me now.…
OMG right?! Especially because my mother has always been able to eat whatever she wanted and I grew up seeing her TRYING TO GAIN WEIGHT. My dad isn’t a big person either. So I thought I was like that too...and slowly started gaining weight through the years and now I’m legitimately fat and can’t seem to grasp the…
Oh, Cardi, I love you, but a lot of women under the age of 26 think they are “naturally skinny,” and they are not. I thought that once too. I thought that once too.
I have no idea what Tom’s own orientation is, but I don’t think he’s trying to do drag here.
agreed. we fucked iraq and the rest of the middle east and europe with that bullshit. we made iraq the biggest breeding ground for terror there has ever been.
speaking of which, did you watch Frontline last night on PBS about how bad we fucked up in Iraq and birthed ISIS. That fool Cheney tried to make the case to start with Zarquawi (sp?) and Al-Bahgdadi (sp?) where allies with Saddam and his link to Al Queda when he was the only thing keeping them out of Iraq. We jumped…
Just another way for him to continue to abuse her. I DO wish other performers had the fortitude to boycott the event. And I wish people wouldn't watch it as well. But... $$$$$$...
