I don’t know if people who suffer from the disease vitiligo are cool with folks claiming “they’ve become white.” MJ claimed to have the disease. He lost the pigmentation in his skin that he was born with. He didn’t “become white” and having a white actor portray him is dismissive, white-washing, insensitive, and tone…

If you believe MJ then he suffered from vitiligo. Not every Black person is Idris’ complection either (not that I’m crying). I find it impossible to believe that there isn’t a Black actor on earth who doesn’t remotely share MJ’s complection if not the disease itself (which adds a different color to the skin all…

I’m right there with you especially with the “we shall overcome” movies (still can’t bring myself to watch Slema). BUT I am of a certain age so I can take comfort in the fact that I get my history elsewhere and not from Hollywood. However, one of my closest friends whose teen son (who is white btw) “didn’t think…

I knew if I waited long enough I'd be in style.

Gosh. Finally someone speaks truth. For a minute I thought I was in bizarro world.

I said, “Not a slight. Just a question.” Also, thanks for the backstory. Knowing what tax bracket we’re in has been truly valuable to us throughout our history because our income has potential to bump us up just enough to get more screwed than if we remain high within the lower bracket. And with freelance, a business…

Focus sweetie. I’ll go slow. The original article that we’re all commenting on involves a man(Antonio) with 12 kids by several different women. I have been questioning his ability to be an effective parent under these circumstances. Compounding the matter is that he cannot remember his own children’s names (which,…

“I don’t even know what my tax rate is...” implies that you are young. I didn’t know my tax rate either until I matured and became part of the grown up conversation. (hint: It’s really really important to know). Not a slight, just a question.

Thanks for this. I needed to laugh today.

Married. 19 years. 2 kids by the same man and not for nothing, he knows their names.

Check back in when you're a single mom. You can apologize then.

😂😂😂😂😂

I’m sure that you think it’s true because your father doesn’t know your name or age, lives in another state so isn’t actively raising you BUT he sends a check each month. Father of the Year.

How old are you? Do you have kids? Because I actually have kids and money most certainly does not equal care. Only a teen w/o kids would say something that stupid. My teens say stupid shit all the time.

Gosh. Can't wait for one of them to wake up Black.
