The second one for sure. Lol. I don’t think I’ve ever seen him without dark hair.

100% agree with both points. Children of color are rarely seen as “innocent” of anything and in this situation I’m sure that bias played into the fact that the system did little to help him and his family initially.

No. Lol.

Man, SHE’S gross. I think he is an abuse victim, same as a female child would be considered in this case if the role’s were reversed. He’s an adult now but honestly his life has been so intertwined with hers as she basically stole his childhood and saddled him with kids super early. As a result, this woman has always…

I wonder if any of these divorced or soon-to-be divorced Housewives look back over their old episodes to see where it all went wrong. Because, as an outsider who watched the development between her and Hoppy, they were never a good match. NEVER. He was very family oriented and she could not get on board with that. I…

Listen...I have NEVER thought the other dude from Thor was attractive. I’d seen other people rant and rave about him. But, that gif just did something otherwordly to my lady parts and yeah...totally get it now.

My saving grace in times like that was my family. They always told me to keep going. If I had grown up with parents who didn’t give a shit, I have no idea if I’d have done half the stuff I ended up doing. Thank goodness for them. And I did have some awesome teachers as well. They weren’t all bad. But the ones who…

THANK YOU! There is no way that someone reacts the way he did if it were the first time they hit someone with that type of force. They would likely have been shocked, horrified and super concerned for her after seeing what they did (if it were indeed the first time). The fact that he reacted the way he did let me know…

Man, I feel this so hard. I used to say that I wasn’t attracted to Asian men. I had only seen a few growing up and didn’t find the ones I knew attractive. HOWEVER, I grew the fuck up, moved around a lot more and ended up on the west coast and yeah...had to take that back real quick. Sometimes it’s a combo of embedded…

I’m not on a fucking pedestal. My comment was from MY experience. As a black woman whose “good” qualities were attributed to some “other” race than my own because I could.not.be.full.black and articulate/pretty/nice/insert other qualifier here UNLESS I was also not 100% black. So no disrespect. Your experience is…

Thanks for the bday wishes. Good luck on your paper.

Lol, thank you. I’ve thrived regardless of certain ignorance I faced in life. I had a pretty good family that basically taught me the motto “fuck that nonsense...excel anyway.” So I did.

For sure. And thank you! :)

And it’s a stupid, limited way to think. Because the title is “blackgirlsrock” that inherently means that other girls don’t? I don’t see HOW that is possible. But, I’m not stupid so...

This is going to be a strong sentiment but here goes.

Yeah. Not an exaggeration either. My ex was very good looking. An ass nonetheless... Sadly.

Me and the ex hit this awesome little place in Mission Beach, CA called the Wavehouse a few years ago. We were apparently super excited to get there because we didn’t eat before we left the house. We got to the place around 11am and we were starving. We hit the bar and ordered food and, of course, drinks. Some white…

Please say it again for those in the cheap seats. We can be our own worst critics.

CONGRATSSSSS!!!!! (I may or may not be tipsy).

Lol. They aren’t married to each other. She’s divorced and he’s married to someone else.
