ok. but,do you see how your view of blackface was misinformed?

i have dark brown skin and i've never been told such a thing—by family or strangers.

lol. no problem. yes,i have a confidence issue—hey! don't try to "mother hen" me! (i use that term with my sister,lol) anyway, i'm 4ft11 and 180 lbs and i want to get down to weighing 139 which was comfortable both physically and mentally and i was still womanly. ;P

being overweight isn't a crime. you should look up articles dealing with fatphobia—maybe then you'll understand my point. if all you want to do is make jokes then there is no point in me getting into a discussion with you.

excuse me? you came out of left field with the attitude. have i,as you say,been a "fuckwad" to you? no. to clear up confusion: it's best to be patient and respectful when educating someone but when someone doesn't want to be educated,it's ok for the "educator" to get frustrated and impatient. the responsibility…

unh-unh.

yeah. she's saying that if people would educate instead of rant then people would be open to learning. well,several of us have tried to educate her ,kindly and patiently, but she's still digging her heels in. hell,no one's perfect! we all want to be educated for wrongdoing but we have to be open to learning even when…

i agree. however,i do associate "fatness" with something negative because ,while i'm relatively healthy, i would feel better at 139 which would leave me "fat" by the media's definition but i'd still be cuddly but happier and lighter feeling,lol.

no,you did not. to answer your question: i haven't seen blackface on tv except for on pbs which showed it for educational purposes. now,yet again,how do you think an adult ,in 2013, comes across blackface innocently? do you think the only way someone comes across blackface is on tv? do you realize that focusing on the…

you did not answer my question. again—and i'm only talking about adults here—how could an adult innocently don blackface? they had to have seen it on tv,right? how could they watch something racist and not ,at least, sense the contempt?

but,where'd they get the idea to wear blackface in the first place?

meh. the actresses were all "sexy" and "baby-voiced" which annoys me to no end. i like ursula and scar (scar could've worn something sexy instead of that pajama-like costume).

right on!

thankfully,no. btw,you are not a fat person—you're body is fat. with all the fatphobia in this society, we tend to define ourselves by our weight which isn't a good thing. i like to say that my body is fat—that way i associate being fat with my body instead of my personality if that makes sense?

I know! I was such a warrior as a teenager—what happened to that chutzpah???

I knew it when you guys posted the story about her tweets... *sad face*

I looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooove cats.

she's so inspiring... I wish that I was like her.

I was shocked,angry,and disappointed when I found out about that. I tweeted to her about victim-blaming and holding men/boys accountable and never got a response back... I still admire her.

that's why I put the tv on mute when I watch her compete.
