I literally shouted with joy at reading this. This woman is so much greatness.

You miss my point. It’s not about when slavery ended (and you do realiz that slavery ended in the US right around the same time, right?). The solid state of your country’s coffers— the ability to offer the incredibly good social services that your citizens enjoy? A direct result of the incredible profit of…

Just don’t ask them to give up Black Pete because he totally isn’t racist. I’m glad they’re using their full coffers (thanks Atlantic Slave Trade!) to help.

I love everything about this. To have been such a singular talented and so loved. Wonderful.

Their allegations included him interfering with their ability to get work. And did he really apologize? He paid an out of court settlement.

So I’ll be the bonkers person and say that I come from a family of blonde haired, blue eyed, fair skinned people who are all Black, thanks to the one drop rule. I’m browner because of my father, but my family is pretty adamantly Black. I understand that everyone wants to be fascinated with MJ and his changing face,…

Your comment nails it for me. God only knows!

He wrote a piece about it that I really enjoyed, where he talked about what happens when your dream comes to fruition and it’s not at all what you dreamed.

Yeah, this is really funny. Kevin Costner was the big macher white guy in Hidden Figures. LOL. Someone should tell Keaton about this.

That is some ridiculous and special stupid. Hands off the hijab!

True dat.

It’s National Airport. The Conservatives slipped in the renaming and made it happen. Washingtonians and liberals tend to call it National.

I understand where you’re coming from, as a DC resident as well. I do not discount her at all, and am shocked and upset that this happened. It’s not what I want to think of my city— and I will support her efforts to get this addressed, because I don’t want this to happen to anyone else.

I just love your writing & want you to do Dirt Bag always.

Eh . . . doesn’t bother me.

Kara, I love you for this answer alone, not to mention your mad writing skillz. Go in and let have.

Ding ding ding! I feel like it’s 100% . . .

As much as I like her, it sounds Typically White to attribute twerking to Rollins, who would likely object mightily if it were genuinely an assertion.
