Homeboy is about to get -paid-
“My daughter told me that when I reach my senior years, she would take care of me,”
“...Black people would never, ever do this crap”
You obviously have never heard of Joe Jackson.
This narcissistic monster will never understand how it isn’t about him, and will still chase the attention that he feels makes it about him. I feel for Meghan, as I’ve been there myself, on a microscopic scale.
Our cousin was married to a young woman with alopecia universalis, meaning all her hair follicles were failing—eyebrows, eyelashes, all of her body hair. She tried to make the best of it, not wearing a wig, getting a small tattoo on her scalp, brazening her way through it. She faced comments that she was using her…
I know a woman who has alopecia. Actually, I didn’t know she had alopecia, I just knew her wig game was top notch, and she was never without a wig, or a head scarf. Then one day, she threw up a post on FB, sans wig, and broke down the struggle. And of all the things that gave her the courage to go without a wig, it…
You have been through a lot and you are human. Not vain, human.
It’s about time that we start assigning the same positive labels to bald women that we do to bald men.
The excerpt from this book that was published in The Washington Post this morning is enough to make you want to beat the ever loving shit out of anyone, male or female, that you see or hear defending this crass, stupid, proudly ignorant buffoon. The fact that the man selected by white folks to lead this country is so…

As I commented elsewhere, it’s a shame that both sides in this matter can’t lose.
This story has no good guy.
How about ALL the Black actors not only DON’T show up for the BAFTAs or Oscars...but they rent a venue nearby, on the same dates at the same time, replete with red carpet and celebrate themselves in every freaking category?! Hey, they could even go back in history and correctly award all the movies and performances…
I will say it again. Why are you still watching the NFL?
And Erivo was nominated for the SAG, too! The fact that she’s British and was nominated for the two biggest precursors to the Oscars yet still snubbed at the BAFTAs is a major slap in the face. Good for her for telling them to fuck off.
Can we just throw all the award shows away? Can we just celebrate and uplift ourselves and not wait on these organizations full of white folks that only care about white folks accomplishments. Stop going. Stop waiting and asking for what is right. Let them have their little awards shows. How about no people of color…
And, just in case anyone comes in with a “And pedophile draft-dodger Ted Nugent got crucified for it”, he really, really didn’t.
