LOL at "Ashy Larries"!!!! The thirst for white women is real! Some of these dudes will say that black women are undatable due to [insert negative characteristics], yet they will date nonblack women with [insert negative characteristics]. They would trip a black woman trying to get to a white woman, and then say, "See,…

I think some people underestimate the role of dating who is in your environment.

Hello, twin.

Thanks for the clarification. I meant that in seeing a shorter version of the clip, it looked like the interviewer was showing loyalty to the interviewer's people, not MK's.

I am just restating what others have said, as it is not from my personal experience.

From reading about this situation, it seems to occur when a POC grows up in an environment where they are "the only ones" so they view people from their ethnic group as relatives, and people from ethnic groups they grew up with as potential dates and mates. Some people also want to escape cultural norms they would be…

The entertainment journalist seems to be advocating on behalf of black men in order to prove her loyalty to her people or something. It's an odd question to ask out of the blue.

A penis is not a racism eraser.

OMG, I hate that lethal combination of ignorance and arrogance!

Since when do babies need id?

Unfortunately, it's too common. I have heard of stories about one-black-parent-girls who did not get much attention until Jennifer Beals and Flashdance was popular. I have also heard stories about how some POC grew up in mostly white environments and they were ignored until college where people had a broader idea of…

Thinking about London, Copenhagen, & Amsterdam. The earlier comment was in reference to Amsterdam.

The response to the Zimmerman trial made me realize that people like Zimmerman and Dunn are few in number, but they have some people who actively support them, and many more who are willing to give them the benefit of the doubt. It seems that a huge part of bias are the messages, "It can't be that bad," and "I don't…

It's unfortunate that people, once again, are willing to give the benefit of the doubt to people making ignorant, bigoted comments.

Note: This cute little girl's mother did not have to use an afro wig or blackface. She copied the dress well enough that people who are familiar with Lupita in this dress would be able to make the connection.

For many white people in the USA, this is a very special episode moment. For many POC in the USA, this is an ongoing source of irritation, frustration, and oppression.

I disagree with the comparison. Telling women to avoid walking alone at night is purely about avoiding a possible negative consequence. Telling adopted girls of color with white parents to move reduces the number or percentage of possible negative consequences AND increases the likelihood of positive consequences.…

I decided last year to stop buying black clothes and to focus more on bright colors. It's been great, and wearing color helps during dreary winter days.

How about olive green?

Dark skin in crisp summer whites are also great!
