*actually* white people hold the keys to dismantling white supremacy, but prefer not to do anything about it, preferring instead to take personal offense on an individual level every time someone attempts to challenge it at a systemic level

Can't quite follow your argument but am compelled to tune out at the sight of "race card."

I watched it , it did seem to me like she was trying to do a modern version of the Bad video, but whatever. I mean white girl (white latina is still white) using black people to look tough or whatever=tuesday. The most I got from this is that a lot of white girls are still too basic to come up with their own ways to…

Latina/Latino is not a race. She is very white passing. Anyways, people of colour are perfectly capable of and often do perpetuate anti-blackness. This includes reproducing stereotypes regarding Black criminality that fit into and uphold white supremacist discourses that are anti-black.

I am going to go on a limb and guess that this thread will feature loads of white people telling PoC:

"I'm not racist, because only a racist could possibly conceive of a situation or idea that might be considered racist. Therefore YOU are the racist, racist!"

Pro tip: When defending yourself from accusations of being racially insensitive, try to avoid making comments about how "well spoken" your black dancers are.

KK doesn't even deserve to be in the same sentence as The Audrey.

Just because your eyes are untrained to b.s, does not mean that this article is petty. The phenomenon is real and has been so for a long time. It's not derogatory. It's honest and it's time to let go of the myths passed to you.

What are you trying to say? Because all this proves was that Rubens liked painting curvaceous women.

The author clearly wrote that she wasn't trying to say they shouldn't. It's how they praised her...and no ones saying there aren't white women who do, but in American culture as long as I've been alive it's been something that isn't considered attractive mainstream/to white americans, my white female friends consider…

The Vanity Fair article implies that when they say her and a few young women are apart of a rising group of instagram women who are proud to be curvy. And calling her butt selfies a new trend or saying she is the Queen of it also ignores the fact that woc do the same thing all the time on Instagram (which doesn't…

It is posited that the Victorian bustle was inspired by African women many upper class women observed in their travels to Africa.

ppft, reminds me of perms, wtf was that all about white people?

This woman did not do squats to achieve this! LOLLLL... Google her plastic surgeries. First one at 15? Le sigh. This is Kardashian-level silicone for minor celebrity status. Again. She is not any kind of professional fitness anything. gah.

"All this is is some Christoper Columbus shit: White people thinking that simply because they just discovered something, it must be new."
