I don’t think she apologized at all, I think she was just describing the guilt she’s been made to feel by people who’ve projected their own bullshit onto her as a means of minimizing her accomplishments and discounting her right to a successful career in a particularly brutal industry. But we agree that she didn’t…

“WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM ME?!”

Zendaya has been getting this unjustified hate for almost a decade. It’s got the point where some people even get angry when she’s cast to play classically White character?!?

Applause. Well said. What we need is more roles for Black women. Not policing over which kind of Black gets to play a handful of roles.

She shouldn’t have to apologize for getting work. I say this as a darker skinned Black man, we need to stop acting like this. Really. Stop thinking that we’re the only manifestation of Black. We aren’t.

I legitimately don’t know how we come back from where we are as a nation. I don’t see a way forward. Our system doesn’t work if one of the two parties has completely abandoned any sense of decency in favor of a platform that consists solely of, “Fuck the other guys, do whatever we have to do to stay in power.”

Agreed. I would understand turning down work to portray darker skinned people (whether a real life person, or a fictional character that was conceived of as being dark skinned,) but just turning down work generally? What would even be the schema for determining what to turn down (turn down every other offer; or every…

“I wonder if she ever considered turning those roles down in the first place”

Instead of apologizing for “taking roles” from darker-skinned actress, I wonder if she ever considered turning those roles down in the first place and suggesting one of her equally qualified, darker-skinned peers take her place instead.

Westworld star Thandiwe Newton is apologizing to darker-skinned actresses for the role her light skin has played in advancing her career, often at the expose of their own. (Yes, you read that sentence correctly. Read it again if you have to, then keep on because I’m just getting started.)

In the spirit of taking this totally not reductio ad absurdum article seriously, I had to check out Shanelle Genai’s profile pic. I think we can all agree that Ms. Genai should immediately quit her job and offer it to someone who is darker-skinned who might not have had the same opportunities as her. Certainly there…

SOMEONE’S getting a foot in their ass.

Thank you for your commitment to notifying us about your lack of interest.  I have logged your apathy in my dream journal.  Next question: what did you have for breakfast?

Yeah... and lots of people make fun of Jobs and Musk for their weirdness.

She managed to use connections to rope in some highly respected board members who knew nothing about biotech, and leverage those associations into investment dollars. As others have pointed out, there is a group of massively successful healthcare-focused venture capital funds with the expertise to evaluate the science…

Because people like her and Ivanka Trump just do it so obviously, like they’re speaking with this stupid affectation thinking they’re making themselves sound more serious or something when it’s really the exact opposite.  The only people they’re ‘fooling’ are stupid old men who aren’t paying attention to anything…

I can't believe people trusted Holmes to this day.  Everything about her company felt off and I know its not nice to say it but, she just has this blank stare that is so creepy to me.  The fact so many threw so much money at her on so little never ceases to baffle me.

Strange game, the only way to win on Twitter is not to play.

Whenever people are clutching pearls about AAVE, they never do a good job of explaining to anyone how making up words and then scolding white people for embracing something that gets deeply ingrained within our culture is reasonable, necessary, or important. Instead, we get furious harassment, endless overstatement of…

A debate over cultural appropriation and Awkwafina’s blaccent you say?
