Hey Arianawonder, its cool. these two (Rubyashley and Bill) didn't bother to try and understand What Kara was saying.

LMAO can "quotes wikipedia like peasant" please be a new...SOMETHING???? PS you're killing em here THANK YOU. I love to get to a comment frenzy about prejudice against white people reverse racism mean Black girls all women are beautiful all white feelings everything and see that you're already on it.

Articles that you haven't read that will tell you that playing the race card is used as a microinvalidation against POC to derail from issues of racism, because they make white people uncomfortable. You tried sweetie. You're arguing with someone who is well read and has written about this extensively.

girl story of my life. Mocked relentlessly for having a big butt. Was called and is still called donkey booty, big booty judy, ghetto booty, stallion booty (all basically referring to me as a ghetto animal). Smh

Until you use "buxom" correctly, you aren't in-between anything. Calling bullshit out is false outrage now?

Here, if you need an eyeroll, you can borrow this one of NeNe (from Lindy's post):

And these are just things that I'M aware as a black woman. I don't doubt that the list is much longer.

Thank you for this article. You articulated this phenomenon perfectly. Sincerely, Puerto Rican woman with a big ass that was mocked my whole life by white people.
