Then again, most people would capitalise on an Oscars nod/win, especially someone who is trying to break out in America

I actually wear my hair in locs as well! I'm sure yours are beautiful. I decided after five years of wearing a fro that it was just more suitable for my lifestyle because I work out a lot and after my hundredth time detangling in the shower I ended up with a broken comb and me in tears of frustration. I have no…

Most people who identify as black have tightly coiled hair, not loose curls. Tracee is an example of natural hair, but not the most representative example of the general population. Why is it that when "regular" black women speak up for themselves, it is often taken poorly? How often do mixed black people have the…

I mean, you ARE allowed to send your kid anywhere with a PB&J. Maybe some specific schools with kids who have deadly allergies you can't, but your kid will not be stopped/arrested for having a sandwich (nearly) anywhere. What a bizarre comment to make.

*thumbs up for flossing*

And I thought this guy was the strangest thing I'd see all week.

He lives in the armpit of America. As long as he limits his victims to women and black children he's never going to go to jail. We just have to hope he eventually gets cocky enough to do something to a white man (the one class of person that matters to Floridian juries) if we ever want him to see the inside of a…

Jesus, people, the guy is talking about weight loss supplements, not just advocating homeopathic only methods! He's not sending cardiology patients home from his office with a box of fucking herbs!

Sorry, but I have to defend Dr. Oz. I worked with him a bit, and the guy practices what he preaches health-wise and is a renowned cardiologist who still performs hundreds of surgeries a year. He doesn't promote products that he doesn't believe in/see potential in- I'm not saying he's necessarily correct all the time,…

Ugh, another 3a, hair type talking about wearing their hair "natural" and acting as if its as subversive as if they were a 4c, no growth very kinky short afro like Lupita.

storm cloud?

You know I have read all the arguments listened to all the narratives, I even took a class, and I'm still not convinced about this whole porn/prostitution is feminist/the greatest ever. Sorry *kanye shrug*

I'm so glad you said pretend because at least once in all of my relationships I had someone out loud say some awful shit about the fact that we were not the same race and when I try to tell people about it they either call me a liar or think that I'm overreacting.

The only thing I like about Meagan Trainor is the fact she seems to dress more modestly and it's nice for the youth to see something other than Miley's boobs.

And I can't travel to Israel because I have a Lebanese visa in my passport and Palestinian friends on my Facebook. So you know, fuck that country, too.

It's not anti-Semitic to dislike Israel. Israel is a country.

I'd heard anecdotally previously and just checked Wikipedia to see if it mentioned it, and apparently Eve has now written a monologue for a trans woman to be included in the Monologues. She "updates" the monologues from time to time I believe.

Let me get this straight: so if two people are in the middle of consensual sex and one of them happens to pass out, the other one is expected to immediately extract him/herself and walk away, OR BE CONSIDERED A "RAPIST???"

That has got to be the single most absurdly over-thinking, technocratic, anal-retentive and…

Having been married for almost 29 years & raised 2 sons - I know what a bib is...
