I dont think I was ever really a Christian although I was raised in a family that identifies that way. I was always naturally skeptical but at a very young age I decided to stop attending church. I was sitting in church one sunday and the preacher's sermon actually made me reject christianity because he was telling…

I think everyone has used ProActive at some point. And their commercials are incessant in the US. Well, they started marketing products to WOC who deal with hyper-pigmentation a few years ago which I applauded as a black woman who had dealt with acne. it was great to see a skin care line developing products for us.…

people definitely have a tendency to lump skin products that deal with hyper-pigmentation/scarring in with skin lightening products and they are not the same thing. WOC have a tendency to get hyper-pigmentation from acne. I dealt with that for years and then I tried Aveeno products and it cleared it right up and…

yes its so fucking old and disrespectful of people with this particular skin disorder.

Lindsay clearly doesnt care about herself. she's been on a downward spiral for a decade now. Anything Oprah does or doesnt do isnt going to change that unless Lindsay decides she wants to change. I understand the exploitation sentiment to a degree but I'm sure O went into this thinking she would be filming a…

Exactly! I dont understand the snark in this article. Not exposing Nahla to Cinderella sounds like a completely rational, feminist choice to me. and she has every right to make these type of parenting decisions. this article is just annoying

I guess I'm saying she's not "passing" bc she is white/caucasian. the fact that she is Armenian doesnt change the fact that she receives white privilege.

American living and working in Africa for years: I agree with your point it drives me nuts when people make sweeping generalizations (mostly negative) about the continent but I hear African people reflecting on some ideal of a "traditional African culture" or making generalizing "African culture" statements all the…

the best thing about their pairing is North! that is a gorgeous little dumpling of a baby! Personally, I'm unable to find someone physically attractive if I know they are a horrible human being. Both Kim and Kanye fit squarely into the horrible human being category for me.

Agreed my reaction to the photo is it looks awkward and forced IMO. Kims face looks dead. I'd rather see Nori on the cover alone bc that little girl is adorable.

But why did Vogue do this? I'm sorry but I just feel like putting the two of them on the cover with a story line about how they are media whores is just bad for the brand...I just dont understand why Vogue would lower themselves and their brand in this way. so confused

she's isnt considered "brown" or a POC on any level she is a recipient of white privilege therefore it isnt outlandish to call her white.

ugh I'm sorry the central point of your comment was very valid but you opened yourself up to a helluva lota derailing w/ the passing comment. Shes not passing for white she is a HUGE recipient of white privilege thats why America loves her no matter how talentless and slutty she is. White privilege is also the…

yeah thank you! can we talk about the fact that he had a female assistant who was basically enabling the entire thing, there must've been a false sense of security in her presence at least in the beginning. and then to top it all off the assistant tried to convince the victim that she did the right thing in the cab…

I completely agree with this, my very first serving job was at a gay-friendly diner. As a young black woman it was one of the most disturbing and traumatizing experiences. The racism there was unbelievable, and at that point in my life I didnt expect it to come from the gay community (ppl who are also oppressed). …

thank you! I have no idea what most people commenting here are talking about. the popular/athletic kids at my high school were not smart at all. the smart kids were constantly ridiculed and isolated. But the popular kids were the ones who faded into nothingness as adults and the smart kids actually make something…

who else can look beautiful in a half shaded photo?

yes and I just realized I'm not following him...let me go fix that

Desus also had some hilarious tweets:

The thing that sad about this is that whether you are exposed to af-american authors depends completely on where you grow up. I grew up in KS and I think ONE or TWO history teachers in my high school saw the validity in assigning Frederick Douglass but I was not in a class with those teachers so as a black student I…
