You’re Black and you understand racism. I yet disagree with you and I’ve explained my view to you more times than should be necessary. Still, you insist that your view is what makes most sense. Yes, it’s okay to be wrong, and actually, opinions are neither right or wrong—they’re popular and unpopular, informed or…

Forgot about that one. Lol.
It doesn’t make sense to YOU. And that’s okay because not everyone will get it. BUT JUST BECAUSE YOU DON’T SEE THE RACIAL INSENSITIVITY, IT DOESN’T MEAN IT’S NOT THERE. Period. People’s lived experiences impact how they view race and racism. That’s what incenses me about some folk. They swear up and down that an image…
Those brothers could be forced to sell their assets—their restaurant for starters—to help fund a nice settlement for Mr. Smith. Whatever money he receives for his pain and suffering should be placed in an irrevocable trust set up by an attorney to safeguard it to assure that Mr. Smith can be properly cared for and…
No, I don’t agree at all. And your question compares apples to oranges. It’s not the same. Context matters just as nuance and clarity do. Those traits and more are sorely needed in advertising because if you have to explain and/or justify your message to the public, you did it wrong. Certainly, everyone has the right…
Lol. I never paid any attention to his clothes, other than them looking rumpled & somewhat unfresh.
It was spades. They played spades while the brown liquor flowed into plastic Dixie cups as they talked much trash, talmbout, “Y’all n****s is SOT!!!” Aside, my grandmother loved the fugly faces B. B. King made when he sung & played.
Dead. I’ma go sit in the corner and re-evaluate my life.
Wearing two polo shirts with the inside collar popped. This also worked with a polo shirt under a button-down oxford.
Koko Taylor ain’t sh*t and neither is Clarence Carter. Or bum-ass Bobby Blue Bland. AND, I’m from Alabama.
Still, that doesn’t mean that the transformation of the dark-skinned Black woman to a very fair white woman isn’t problematic in and of itself. The end game is irrelevant here.
I disagree. You have to consider the implications of using Black images in a manner that doesn’t avoid the appearance of racism/discrimination/bias. There’s a long and racist history of using dark-skinned Black images to promote the so-called benefits of using soap to rid oneself of the scourge of Blackness in favor…
I’m not buying her rationale. Dove doesn’t get points for using a dark-skinned model considering the piss poor way they used her image.
Peak Blackness, with his Black ass...
Thank you for that. The ACA actually has a mandate that requires insurers to cover medications like Viagra because it’s viewed as providing an essential health benefit. However, there’s a limit on how many pills can be dispensed at a time. It’s just like Trump to remove mandates protecting women, but leave those…
The diversity narrative is nothing without the true inclusiveness of equity and justice. Blackfolk need these in just about every area of our lives, particularly when it comes to how we’re portrayed/viewed/represented. A company can claim to be diverse because it employs numerous POC, but what does that matter, other…
Omg, no. Lol.
Exactly. Not all birth control is used explicitly for that purpose. I used to take pills in my 20s to control my acne. For the past 6 years, I’ve had an IUD to help control my HMB. That one item, which would’ve been cost prohibitive for me if it were not for the protections of the ACA, has greatly improved the quality…
