It’s a turn of phrase. Not literally, I mean, damn. Y’all are so pressed to find fault with these two.

My heart bleeds seeing Chance the Rapper in the company of Lil Wayne and Justin Beiber. You’re better than this, Chance.

Oh, all she had to do was be Black, female, and successful.

Which is why there are literally thousands of scholarships for all different types of things.

You have induced too many emotions in me for a Tuesday night. I see no lie here. Not one. YOU BETTER READ LIKE A LIFE IS ON THE LINE. I need to get The Cracker Institute for Fuckshit in a tote bag asap. You are a jewel.

Starred for the creation and/or use of the phrase “Cracker Institute for Fuckshit.”

Does the Cracker Institue for Fuckshit pay you every time you use the phrase “praise her work”, an obtuse framing that suits your own purpose (which you think is to righteously fight against the veneration of a pop star but is actually to disguise your disdain for a black woman doing objectively good/impressive…

Say. That.

Hahahahaha I wondered how the “All Beyonce does is shake her ass” crowd would find a way to hate on this.

It seemed clear to me that the focus of the title was rightfully placed on the theft of a young black woman’s work (incidentally depicting a black woman).

Alternative Life.

I would say it’s a little early to be judging the quality of this as a business decision. Also, he seems to have done quite well for himself, so maybe him thinking he’s “good at business” isn’t much of a stretch.

People are mad at Karrueche for the same reason people stay mad at Ciara: They are two black women who rose up out of a shitty situation and left the trash behind. People really wanted them to just fade away after being abused by men and they are mad that they didn’t.

Also, let’s hope she doesn’t continue wearing those V. Stiviano visor shades.

Jill Scott. Erykah Badu. Mary J. Blige. Faith Evans. Sade. Anita Baker. Chaka Khan. Patti Labelle. Phyllis Hyman. SWV. En Vogue. Xscape. Minnie Riperton.

I think it’s an important political statement she is making. Black mothers are not portrayed well in media. She is being extra loud and extra proud. She needs to be and she deserves to be. 

All of this. I am here for this elevation of the femininity of black women. I am also here for this grand celebration of motherhood, especially black motherhood, in the time of black lives matters. Maybe I’m reading a lot into it, but I am here for the over-the-top celebration of black femininity because for too long,…

My skin has cleared up, all my bills have been paid, my crops are flourishing... everything is as it should be and then some, for I have been thoroughly #blessed by The Shining Golden Goddess Beyoncé.
