Oh God are people still on this “trans racial adoption is bad kick”? Will they get over it ever!? Are you serious? This was a debate in 1995 when I became free for adoption! I thought twenty years later people would be over it! Please tell your sister, love , blessings, peace and hair grease. Children need to be…

I am sorry, I felt like you were my mother, making a point, and someone jumped all over you. It’s absolutely unacceptable. My white mother was the first one to ever tell me about Toni Morrison. She said she was beautiful. Now if she had wrote that on a thread and someone insulted her they was’t Peanuts insulted you, I…

Good point!

I am an African American woman and I fell in love with her when I saw that video. Before “Lemonade” it was the only music video that brought me to tears. And then I learned that she danced for a ridiculous amount of hours, until her feet bled!? Girl, I wish she would bring that passion back!!!!

I am sorry love, my white mother who adopted my black girl butt, handed me “The Bluest Eye” and said don't come out until you read this and then we will discuss it, and I hated her for it. Now I celebrate her for it.

You should never have to say that. As a black woman I like the movie Selena. Do I know what it is like to be a Mexican American woman? Heck no! Women can appreciate art! I have many Frida Kahlo prints! I appreciate her art, please just because one person has an opinion, don't ever let that deter you from having yours.

You seriously need to stop hating. Seriously to say someone can't have an opinion because they are a certain color is just WRONG. I feel bad for her, perhaps you would have been happier if she pretended she was a black woman?

Anyone who has a brain can see how you feel, AND I appreciated it wholeheartedly! Sister, haters gonna to hate!

She also stated at the beginning that it was hard for her to articulate her feelings. It was hard for my white mother who adopted me (a nappy headed black girl) to articulate her feelings too, but when we saw Toni Morrison speak, tears ran down her face. That was when I realized sometimes there are no words. Steel…

Oops “shouldn’t” have written about black men. That's what I meant to say.

This is as bad a when people said Alice Walker should have written about “Mister” because it made black men look bad. If it’s not for you, you don’t have to watch it. Culture is culture. Themes are themes. There was so much more to all of this than Jay-Z. Go back to the lyrics of “Formation” that wasn't really about…

As a black woman adopted and raised by a white woman who taught her love Toni and Alice, I approve of her approval. Don't hate, appreciate. Let's not be ignorant.

Right on siesta! You didn’t need to be white to feel that power. Shoot I was adopted by a middle age white woman who insisted I read Toni Morrison, and Alice Walker. I am truly proud that you appreciated it! Plus, that love song encompassed all types of couples. I cried from start to finish. It brought my soul to…

You know it! Did everyone forget the cultural, and historical themes. The Somali war paint? The “dirty south ghetto”? Did they not realize she just wrote a country song? Yes, he cheated but damn, did anyone get that this woman was celebrating her heritage as well. Not only that, but she incorporated young black women…

Perhaps you didn’t get the African American woman themes as well. The Malcolm X speech. I pretty much ignored the cheating themes altogether, and celebrated a woman who was proud of her culture and heritage and no longer feels that she has to put out “Taylor Swift” music to satisfy her fans. Formation is about being…

Mad sushi and cold cuts for this incubating male child. And Brie, I want to swim in rivers full of Brie.

Agreed! I had an all-natural childbirth, breastfed, and practiced attachment parenting as a poor, black mother 18 yrs of age living in a trailer, and on food stamps. I was a vegetarian during my pregnancy, and she was until about one. I also took my daughter to every doctor’s appointment. The balance is important. I…

Exactly! Big is the ultimate fuckboy. He leads her on, and only truly “needs” her or wants her when she is “happy” with someone else. She could have at least married Aiden. And I mean yeah, she would have missed her friends in Paris and all of that, but it’s PARIS, cope! A previous poster said it was abou the drama, I…

My two daughtersare black and biracial. My oldest daughter Kaya is very light much like Robin, and if you saw her you would think she is biracial, but of course she isn’t (technically?) and you probably would one her parents were of different ancestry. My ex’s father came over when he was four from Italy. My…

It is so much more refreshing to be a part of this feed! The buzzfeed responses are all about race-baiting, and I am still surprised no one had used the n word. And you can tell most people haven’t even read the article because they don’t reference the Metcalf guy who was let off by the judge for having two ounces or…
