FYI, the contestants don’t choose the song nor do they choose the choreography. So it wasn’t her decision to dance to that song. Also, if you watched the clip, you would see she was clearly hesitant and looked uncomfortable during the dance and afterwards. I don’t understand why pointing it out makes me an asshole.

The sad thing is, in “Downton Abbey” the black character made SENSE.

They’re talking about her persona, not her body. Similar to when a boring/mediocre white actor or entertainer gets compared to “white bread.” Buttered noodles = bland, boring, etc.

you seem stressed

It would be nice to see characters of color that are not there to be tokens OR to be characters where their entire personality is their ethnicity. Like “sassy black friend”, eek.

I get to use this image again!

How to become a doctor in this country:

Isn’t that just called ‘training’?

I think probably Bc everybody was so busy fawning over birth of a nation as this years showing of black excellence... But then Nate Parkers past came out :\ thankfully there’s this, and it looks amazing

I’d have a hard time taking my kids to an actively war ravaged place like Syria. I see his point. As an adult she can go where she wants - her person, her decision, but he does have equal say in where the kids go, no?

As a white person, I used to think I wouldn’t want anything to do with racist white people, but then you see it in little ways coming from nice “progressive” whites. A clerk who won’t sell a black man a beer who is clearly over 50 because he doesn’t have ID, a white family walking on the beach sees a black couple…

I thought that was sort of bullsht and not giving white people a lot of credit, and then you see Kim K all “hmmm.... should I vote for the white supremacist guy or not not white supremacist lady?”

After seeing so many people say they don’t wash their legs. But, really, y’all motherfuckers need Jesus. And soap. Lots of soap.

That’s disgusting. Seriously, wash your feet. They are cesspools of bacteria, and no, “gravity” bringing the soap water down isn’t enough. That’s how things like Athlete’s Foot and other foot and toenail infections spread.

Water falls on your legs while you shower so why bother getting down there with soap?

A story about a woman who got her braids done up in a basket style and (supposedly) didn’t wash them for a month so that they (supposedly) smelled bad has fuck-all to do with a story about a woman being denied a job based on her locs.

Yeah, tough titties if the idea of “professional” means Black people must do crazy things to their hair to make it look more like white people’s hair. Keep whiteness as the standard, fuck everyone else. It’s the law.

I am going to tell my dreadlock story now: When I was doing hair, a white guy came in with dreadlocks and wanted them cut off. His hair was in a ponytail, and when I removed the elastic his hair did not move. It was fused into that shape. He told me that he had been living on an island, as if this explained…

But all the White Feminists (TM) and their indoctrinated followers of color wanted to say that locs aren’t a Black thing, have nothing to do with Blackness, and the Marc Jacobs thing wasn’t a big deal, right? It’s “just a hairstyle,” right? Nothing to talk about, nothing to see here.

Anthony Weiner might be going to prison. Brad Pitt will be fine. I think the answer is obvious.
