So...who’s “job” is it?

And yes, it’s a big deal to see us reflected in media. I look at all the little kids for who Star Wars: The Force Awakens is their first dip into that fandom and who WON’T consider it weird to see a Black Man, a White Woman and Latino Guy in space doing cool shit and being heroic. Because they’ll have grown up with…

No it isn’t her job, and it shouldn’t be demanded of her, but pulling together and lifting each other up is more effective than “stay in your lane” feminism. She wasn’t speaking directly to specific issues faced by brown and Asian women, just generally making a statement that there are women of all races (specifically…

I would venture that most women get that being a woman is not an advantage in today’s society.

Well - you’re only the SBF (Sassy Best Friend) or Magical Negress anyway.

I usually love Chelsea’s show, but she seemed to be so fucking tone deaf with this interview. 

The same people who say they want this are the FIRST to bitch that black people are “TOO LOUD”. I met a girl in college on a res hall floor who was SO WOKE but would say my closest friend (who happened to be a first gen college student-turned-MD) was “inauthentic”. She thought all black ladies needed to be loud and…

LOUD. They always want us to be LOUD.

“But by the way, you are that girl,”

God, when I was acting, I hated the “sassy Black” whatever description. It was constant. Apparently, no one has ever heard of a shyness, introversion, kookiness, nerdiness, or many other personality traits in Black women. Just “sassy,” “loud,” “takes no shit,” “doesn’t need a man,” etc.

It wasn’t Nash’s job to speak out for other women. White women and asian women need to stop always putting everything on black women.

I really appreciate that black women, like Niesh, call for other WOC’s stories to be told. White women usually don’t think about perspectives told through BW or NB-WOC but black women always speak about their own experiences as BW and also conscious of other WOC (non-BW)‘s stories to be heard.

It took me a second, but the Lucille Ball grey shading is because the show was in black and white right?

That story was absolutely horrifying. I read it yesterday, immediately turned my phone off, and basically just questioned human existence for the rest of the day.

Kidnapper probably realized in the middle of this caper that he loved his curvy wife. Bye-bye, model!

Next time someone tries the #Notallmen BS, try this.

Do any women own sex slaves, I wondered, then I wondered if any bros would #notallmen this post

Just wait. Stephen Miller is going to cite this case as incontrovertible evidence that the pro-choice movement is actually a front for human traffickers and that motherhood is the key to avoiding being kidnapped.

Having a child makes you unsuitable for the sex trade? I’m glad it saved her but Lol.

Omg. I just watched it all this week and I’m really sad. I understand that Connie Britton can’t star in a cable show, I guess, but it was reported she offered to stay the whole season.
