Okay. You can remain willfully obtuse and that’s fine.
Well, sometimes, I decide not to get involved with articles like this for my own well-being. Today, though? I got time lol.
No, this shows that you can’t recognize any nuance or how point A contributes to point B. Not your fault. Lots of people are having a difficult time with it.
THE EYE-RON-KNEE!!!!
Is she a victim of colorism in the same way Nina was? Survey says, no she’s not. Are you really gonna pretend that lighter skinned women don’t have certain privileges? Nina being a very dark skinned Black American woman in a very racist society is integral to her story. If it wasn’t, they wouldn’t have needed to…
Here’s the thing: Zoe is Black. Beyonce is Black. We can all be Black because race is context specific. As a lighter skinned Black American woman, I’ve been told that I wouldn’t be considered Black in quite a few contexts. That’s cool, but I grew up a Black woman in the US and you or anyone else can’t take that away…

There is and if you’re not Black, it might not be all that apparent to you.
You are mistaking “dark enough” with “Black enough”. The former deals with colorism. I’m a light skinned Black woman with 2 Black parents. I’m plenty Black. BUT I also recognize that I have certain privileges my darker sisters do not have.
You are a demon.
They definitely don’t carry $5 bills. Get the fuck outta here...
Why should he have to buy a ton? The point is to encourage entrepreneurial skills (that’s what they told me for all 10 years of being Girl Scout). Selling to one dude, yes, could do that, but not really. It’s about interacting with the public, which is why you see Girl Scouts at your local grocery stores Maximum # of…
I’m so sad.
Bobby is with the shits!
Not for nothing, but white people don’t listen to brown folks so a fellow white woman is exactly who should be telling folks that they need to check their privilege.
