Really, your going to come in here and act as if the focus of this post, and some of Tracee' comments weren't about Black Standards of Beauty?

you obviously didn't read my comments through. Go Google the phrase "GOOD HAIR". Maybe you will actually see what I am pointing out.

I'm going to guess the person who replied to you isn't black since you weren't POLICING anyone's blackness but pointing out that some kinds of blackness are accepted and praised by both black AND non-black ppl and people who act as if Tracee having curly hair is some kind of subversive act don't know anything about…

Tracee is speaking about her experience as a Black actress in Hollywood. Her experience is just as valid as anyone else's.

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.

I'll be honest. For me, passing compliments about my hair from fleeting strangers in public are fine. Compliments about my hair as an expectant conversation starter is annoying, mostly because it's predictable and boring. In my first year of transition, I loved all compliments because it was scary change for me and…

Would you tell a white woman you liked her hair?

She should've acknowledged the song's meaning, but I'm not really about these Internet pile-ons lately. I just never see them bring about much dialogue or real change. Celebrities continue making these missteps, the usual comment drama ensues, the overwrought think pieces roll out like clockwork, the apologies are…

All of these explanations disturb me.

So, what, do you think this guy encouraged his children to play with his guns at every opportunity?

Or you could tell her that it is where you keep your gun locked up and that guns are for killing and you own that gun for shooting people dead. And that dead people are dead forever. Then you could teach her some actual gun safety in case she ever stumbles across your firearm.

Just riffing here.

You know the best way to avoid shit like this? Don't have guns.

Man. Stories like this are why it always gets me when people say things like, "Society is going downhill! People are so TERRIBLE to each other nowadays! What happened to the good old days?" There were no "good old days." Not ever. People have always just been awful, and it was easier to hide it.

Umm, did you even read the article? That's literally the fucking synopsis.

"The period drama is about three very different women teaching a boy what men are, what women are, about love and freedom and finding your own form of sanity in 1979 Santa Barbara."

At least one scene where she dances/sings to an underground punk song demonstrating how cool and deep she is...but also broken.

I'm guessing at least one, if not two of these influential women will be in the MPDG mode. One might even have an addiction/incurable illness/mental disorder!

I'm writing a screenplay of my own, it's called '21st century men'. It is about three different men teaching a young girl about what women are, and how to find your own form of survival in 1999 Los Angeles. It will an ode to the men that raised me and the ones in the ska and swing dance scene (don't judge, you loved…

Yeah, this is what confuses me about really extreme evangelical Christians (or any other extreme Judeo-Christian religion); I can accept that a religious morality code might find lustful thoughts to be inherently wrong. I don't agree with it, but I can understand it. What I don't find logical is the idea that it's…

Good call. Burkas are the way to go, since men simply can't be controlled.
