My original post stated simply that I find the fact that she, as a girl, was in a bed with a grown ass man inappropriate. I do find it inappropriate. They both uploaded the pic to an extremely popular photo sharing site and one of them has very famous parents and is quite famous in her own right. If they didn't…

Now that she is raising a biracial child (which many people consider to be a Black child given the "one drop rule") with one of the world's most outspoken cultural critics on race her eyes have been open to the insidiousness of racism and discrimination. Makes total sense to me. What's the issue?

And I said you where White where exactly?

People raise their kids differently. My husband walks in and sees my barely teenage daughter in a bed with a shirtless grown ass man that will be his last few minutes on the Earth as a sentient being. Maybe my husband will let him make a couple phone calls to say goodbye to his family before he kills him. As in…

It has a bearing because no matter what non-White and/or overtly sexual women do editors and commenters on this site will denigrate them. A privileged woman acknowledged her privilege and vowed to do better. Great! Wait...it's KK who did that and she's not "one of us. " So it's not great, it's SHE SHOULD HAVE…

Totally, 100% disagree.

Because Kanye is one of the biggest name celebrities on the Earth and because he's very, very outspoken about race issues. Much of her fiancee's art and public discourse is dissecting what it means to be Black and male (and now, incredibly famous and wealthy) in a world in which, statistically, he should be dead, in…

I disagree. She obviously knew these things occurred but it wasn't until entering into an interracial relationship that it hit her fully. That happens A LOT with interracial relationships. It's called being human, not self-centered. She admitted and owned up to her privilege, something feminist "heros" of this…

I have two White female friends (one a friend from college, another a work friend) both married to Black men. Their realization of what it means to be associated with Black men and Black people in the US of A has led them both to awakenings like KK's. Years into their relationships they are still jarred when they…

KK's open letter is great. I have no idea why it's being mocked. It's really perplexing the stance Jezebel takes sometimes.

No, sweetie, no. That is not at all correct. The American education system failed you. It's not entirely your fault. Go back to watching Disney Jr. and leave the grown up talk to grown-ups, k?

As a grown man in a bed with a girl who is barely a teenager. If that had been my daughter or neice I'd feel bad for his mother because she'd have to identify his bloodied body at the morgue. No mother should have to do that.

I'm just remembering the outrage on Jezebel over James Franco hitting on that 17 year old (White) girl on Twitter. "How DARE he!" "She's a child and he's a grown man!!" With Willow and this pic it's "What's the big deal?" :/. I can't help but wonder if it's a little #fasttailedgirls at play. V

I think the reason that so many people are "Calm down everyone, it's just a picture!!!" is because Willow is Black (regardless of her body type). If she were a 13 year old blonde, blue-eyed girl I think more people would be absolutely irate that such a sweet, innocent, angelic young girl was being corrupted by a…

Did you mean to respond to me? I said absolutely nothing about punishing slave traders or anyone else. "Punishment" is not an area of any particular interest to me, actually.

They are not fully clothed.

She's a child, he's an adult. She may be all hot and bothered for him, quite possible. If they act on their sexual feelings he can and should be arrested for rape or sexual assault. Nothing about this is complicated.

She is referring to the "fast tailed girls" stereotype that follows Black and Latina girls like a dark cloud. Girls of color are deemed by our culture to be less worthy of protection from sexual predation because they are so "sexually mature." It's so, so sad that girls of color aren't protected the way White girls…

She is absolutely right. In our culture Black and Latina girls are always treated a more "grown" than White girls, partly because WOC in this culture are so hypersexualized and partly because Black and Latina girls' bodies often develop earlier and differently than White girls' bodies.

A 13 year old girl and a 20 year old man, who's not a family member, shirtless, hanging out on a bed. YES, YES, 100 times YES, that's all it takes to make a situation seem sexual. What the heck more do you need??? Videotape of intercourse?!!
