I agree on the diversity. I liked that Netflix tried with Taye and Lucy. I didn’t like the script, but that’s just me. I made it to Taye (looking at lemons on his desk) saying something like “What is this? I don’t like it.” I connected with that line, and bailed on the movie. But it looked gorgeously shot, and kind of…

My understanding is that Pusha is accusing Drake of being only distantly and occasionally involved in the kid’s life- and drawing a generational parallel to Drake’s relationship with his own father- until Adidas offered him a chance to make the kid profitable.

Apparently the blackface photo is from a photoshoot for a Canadian fashion company named Too Black Guys when they did a Zoolander-esque “Jim Crow Couture” collection. But that still leaves me with so many questions, most of which include “Why?”

I feel like choosing to sexualiz a WOC with no lines to protect the virtue of a white literal princess is not the best way to go about things.

Exactly. I like Jezebel as a discussion group. I think their personal essays are often fun and often insightful. I love their liberal advocacy. But if I were a victim, I’d want them to stay far away from my story until I knew that some other journalists had gone through it and brought it up to snuff. There are places…

I guess I don’t get how you can play the “we’re doing real journalism” card when the NY Times busted the story wide-open with 5 sources in what, a few weeks since the Weinstein stuff broke? And you’ve supposedly had it for years?

“Our readers don’t have to and shouldn’t take our word on something just because we publish it”

I never commented before, but I will gladly do so now.

I find myself wishing she was clear on what kind of drug purchasing was happening here, because there are varying degrees. I believe that most of us could agree that a marijuana habit is different from an opiate or methamphetamine habit.  

WOW, some of yall couldn’t wait to tell me all about yourselves.

SHOTS FIRED

Funny how some people are more accommodating with this useless apology when it involves racism instead of sexism.

I read that one at night Hachi! Chiflado was annoyed at the lights staying on and me holding him like a stuffy!

Came here to say this — no Dominique? Then it ain’t Dynasty. And if you are in the ATL and don’t see any rich black folks, you probably need to check your GPS.

IT’S TIMEEEEE

This is so true. Things need to change on multiple levels. Yes corporations, businesses, laws etc. need to realise that pregnancy is just part and parcel of being human like lunch break and holiday leave (all of which didn’t exist at some point of humna history). But women also have to choose decent men who value…

Random side note- I was working a booth at a job fair and Waffle House was next to us and I was astounded to hear how much they pay! Holy crap!

Right? I really agree with you and burnsitito11, we CAN’T have it all, no one can. People who say they can be a CEO and work 80 weeks and be a great mom and volunteer and and and, remind me of little kids who want to be astronaut pirate vets. There are only 24 hours a day, you can do fewer things well, or more things…

OWN has two popular original series- Queen Sugar and Greenleaf. I love Queen Sugar and the way Oprah gets out of Ava’s way so she can produce a great product.
