I think what I love about this show most is its ability to bring humor to these controversial issues and then in one swoop remind you exactly how fucked up it all is in a serious sense. Like in one of the first episodes most of the scene in the police station had jokes and humor sprinkled in, and then all of a sudden…

It’s not subtle, at least per the word’s normal definition. However, there are a lot of people (usually white... sadly, sometimes not) who believe that racism isn’t racism without ‘n’ calling card... Literally, it’s usually the n-word. Because Trump and Co. use dog whistle terminology like ‘thug’ they are not…

It’s disturbing because Turner made no mention of rape as the catalyst for his rebellion. Scripture was. It’s doubly disturbing because Parker seems to have put in multiple rape scenes with little female agency in order to spur the black male avenger to action. It follows Parker’s statements of indicating that he…

People used to touch my hair all the time when I had twists and braids. Just so infuriating that they thought they could violate my personal space with what is often an intimate act. I don’t mean just sex but also when your mom does your hair. I still have fond and not so fond memories of my mom doing my hair in the…

Nah, it’s not a stupid question and I’m glad you asked :-)

Black women with natural hairstyles often put their hair into braids or twists at night, and then undo the braids/twists in the morning and style it into whatever look. These particular braids/twists aren’t generally considered a hairstyle unto themselves, they’re just a necessity to keep kinky hair from breaking, and…

the closest thing i can compare it to is when you’re comfortable going makeup free around your significant other but its MUCH more intimate then that. Our natural hair is something deeply personal to us.

What? Are you talking about the same Prince that everyone else is? Wikipedia currently has him credited with 137 music videos. And that doesn't include the ones he made and then stashed in a vault which no one has seen (which we know for sure he has done, since Kevin Smith has come out and said he filmed one for…

I noticed he let his island accent ting have the night off. And proceeded to talk about how fake everyone in the industry was except rhi-rhi. Even talking about how she kept her accent. I wondered, Was he self-aware in this moment?

Since you asked and only since, as it is not in my nature to be forward with my thoughts on others... Let me frame for you what a third party might observe:

He was so extra. Even my dog was like, “Am I watching ‘The Notebook?’ What the hell is this shit?’” Labradors are so fiesty!

This is the conspiracy theory here Metro. Its a smear going on and you know it. You might like it, you might enjoy it, but its a smear. Dr. Jill Stein is no more a stealth anti-vaxxer than Obama is a secret muslim, but there are people who keep spreading that shit too...

Your comment bothers me. It’s hard to explain exactly why, but it has something to do with the fact that the angle you’re contributing to the discussion is not “I wonder how many of the male bosses are abusive asses,” but “I wonder which of these incompetent ladies had to give head to be where they are.”

I would also add that Kim has been extraordinarily vocal about political/social causes like gun control, political participation, national and international tragedies (with clear and specific calls to action) and other important issues. As a citizen, she’s doing her part and using her profile to raise awareness and…

Yeah, this story just infuriated me. I was diagnosed with juvenile rheumatoid arthritis at 13. I’m 29 now. I’ve taken methotrexate on and off since being diagnosed (and I most certainly do call it chemo, because it most certainly is - the vomiting that follows leaves no doubt), plus almost every other medication for…

Um yes, many RA or other arthritis patients can and do rightfully say we’re receiving chemo. Methotrexate is a chemotherapy agent. Here’s the problem: when people hear arthritis, they think of grandma with a sore thumb. The reality is people with autoimmune arthritis are sick every damn day, with joint pain and…

“Make America Great Again”.. so we can again have the right to wrap a rope around a black girl’s neck, drag her, laugh at her, blame her, blame the demonic swing, blame the mother for daring go to the ER, blame the media, blame the community, blame the Strange Fruit song, Blame Beyonce’ for *all of a sudden being a…

Lets all agree to only eat Cuban Sandwiches this week so we are eating pork and chicken in equal measure. Also, so we don’t discriminate against pickles.

Because a 32 week old child is normally viable outside of the womb?

My wife’s best friend’s daughter was born at 30 weeks and is a perfectly normal child now at 6.

You got issues if you think it’s ok to abort a child at 32 weeks for any ol’ damn reason.
