They should be calling her oblivious.

I’ve been noticing the past week that Jez and The Root have been posting similar stories instead of cross posting, like they used to. I don’t know if there is something behind that, but thank whoever that The Root equivalent story wasn’t posted here.

So many people here are willing to give her a break due to a “technicality”. Bitch, that “technicality” is actually a really big deal in the black communities and with black women especially. It’s nice that white people have so many stories about their struggles that something like this can be considered no big deal,…

I’m bout to bounce. It’s getting qwhite stuffy in here and a sister needs room to breath.

I don’t mean to get philosophical but this example really brought up so many memories from when I was young. I was pretty much self-taught in black history, and it really hurt how my teachers and fellow students didn’t care at all about any of my history (in a 90% white community). I don’t think I know any black…

I don’t agree that that’s the same as calling her a racist. And I agree with those tweets. I don’t get what the problem is w/ them at all, to be real. So, idk, whatever.

lol, that comment was irriating af.

Heyo! Shout out to my fellow having-a-Jamaican-parent person!

Right! TF?

yep! you know black twitter is gone drag her for a good minute lol

Her “point” was factually wrong and she had to literally forget Black women existed in Hollywood to even say that.

Even my mom, who is Jamaican, and an immigrant to this country sat down and made me watch it as a kids many times. Everyone knows that movie and who directed it.

#TeamBanks. The “white woman” stuff is a distraction from her main and very important point.

Preach it. Something I’m really taking from these comments is white people really don’t give a fuck about black culture unless it’s some shit they can cherry pick and appropriate. The Color Purple is such a big deal in black families. Even my mom, who is Jamaican, and an immigrant to this country sat down and made me…

So that’s full-body contour & highlight then?

Keep apologizing for these people.
