Point is that she didn’t feel the need to idealize herself in her paintings. But thanks for completely missing the point.

How do you think she would have felt about a blockbuster Miramax/Harvey Weinstein movie where she’s portrayed by a supermodel-gorgeous actress? Rhetorical question, but Salma Hayek’s protests seem particularly ridiculous to me.

Some of it may have to do with Frida Kahlo’s political leanings — she joined the Mexican Communist Party in 1927, and now her image is being monetised for a large corporation’s profit. I’m not horrified or astonished by this but the irony is somewhat wry and unpleasant. What’s next? An Emma Goldman Barbie?

Do you really think that Hyak was “prettier?”

Yes. It’s her defining feature, and she emphasized it in all of her self portraits.

Uncle Phil was the shit. Even I knew that then and I am an entitled white man.

People are really into spinning anti-zionism (or just simple criticism against the Israeli government) into antisemitism, and that sort of intellectual dishonesty is disgusting.

People all through these comments are saying that the NOI is racist, sexist, and antisemetic, and that probably is the case. But so many mainstream religions are that as well. Those religions just cover up their hatred with flowery language, but it’s still there.

Exactly, if everyone judged themselves by white elites, the world would be a worse place. It also can’t be stressed enough how shitty the NOI is to everyone other than straight men.

I don’t really fuck with Farrakhan, never did. Quite frankly, his brand of Black liberation doesn’t seem to include Black women and that’s a goddamn problem.

On a basic level, this isn’t about Tamika Mallory or Farrakhan, it is about who in the black leadership class supports Israel or not - it’s about who controls black politics etc. If it was solely about antisemitism Rev Billy Graham’s body would not be allowed to rest in the capital’s rotunda, and people like Rev John…

Another example?

She doesn’t owe this bitch an explanation as to why she isn’t hiring her ass. In fact, the fact that she slid into her DM’s is quite frankly grounds to NOT hire this bitch because that is not how one should offer one’s resume. She did offer a resume right? Oh she didn’t? FOH!

When Rih-Nanny started to go in on their “fam”, Quicksliver and DJ 5 Foota should have shut shit down. When they saw “Fam” Danni getting pissed they should have shut it down.

It’s really lame that everyone exploited a woman’s very real insecurities for self promotion and monetary gain. 

She just got a whole mess of free publicity for her aspiring career at the expense of another black woman.

No. It’s still very much a thing, I just think that’s it’s become more colorist than ever.

Honest to gob, some of the men that I’m the most frustrated with during the whole #metoo movement are gay men. I’ve got a few gay colleagues who think that being gay gives them a pass on the shitty way they treat women and I. am. over. it.

She’s spoken out about sexual harassment before, so it seemed like a perfect opportunity for her to speak out again at a time when the mainstream media has caught up. And if Jon Hamm were interviewed, I’d fully expect him to be asked about Matt Weiner.
