You are, in two ways: first, don’t be concerned, you have plenty of other ways you can be an ally if that’s your goal than worrying about an internal discussion about colorism. Second, you are still willfully misrepresenting what she stated. She pointed out that all of the women were light-skinned, which supports that…

I’ll turn your question back on you.

Is it colorism to point out colorism? Here’s a hint: is it racism to point out racism?

What you are missing is that she didn’t criticize his choice of wife. She just pointed out the pattern of all of these wives being light. It’s not a flaw on the women’s part, nor a question of their blackness. What is being pointed out is the pattern of preference on the part of the rappers.
Let me also point out that…

Black people didn’t create the dichotomy, it’s just another cultural symptom of the disease of racism. Light-skinned blacks got better and preferential treatment historically and the threads of that exist today because beauty norms still favor light-skin over dark skin. But it goes beyond beauty into every facet of…

asking a couple questions. But before I do, let me clarify my position: kweli is wrong and harassed this woman and should have been suspended before now and good riddance. Her initial tweet was clearly about colorism and in no way said light-skinned women were less black. Kweli abused his platform and his…

Having walked away and returned to re-read my comment, I want to add a few of those lines to which I alluded:

I’m been gestating an idea for a relative while now that I am introducing into my comments in hopes of engagement. I don’t think Rush is a conservative. I think a more accurate term for Rush (and his ilk) is ‘regressive’. I don’t think regressives are conservative in the way that school of thought used to be defined.…

No, they can’t. Not this particular roadmap. The closest analog we have to the Tea Party is BLM, in the sense that it is funded by wealthy individuals who see its goals aligned with their own. That’s not a separate political party. This is a non-starter and if I recall correctly, not even a new idea. And again, we’re…

Here’s why that doesn’t work as a model. First, the Tea Party is a well-documented Koch Brothers astroturf, who funded it with the express purpose of opposing Obama and the Democrats by winning the midterms. They quickly settled on a strategy of targeting moderate republicans, and basically exploiting trends already…

Black people are 13% of the population and cannot elect officials in non-black-majority areas without allies. Officials elected from such areas would be unable to leverage political capital beyond Black voting power in at most regional elections. All of this is assuming 100% Black alignment with this third party and…

Respond React is one of the greatest hip hop duo songs in history and it never gets mentions. They tore that mic to shreds.  Rest in Peace.

Most recently, Black Twitter called Terry Crews Muscle Ruckus.

I’m now imagining a skit for A Black Lady Sketch Show that involves a black actress slipping a realistic cutout in her place for a tv show scene, with an audio device attached periodically uttering “m-HM! ....... Girl! ........ OHkay?” and no one notices, and she does it for an entire season.

But the idea made me…

I definitely don’t owe Megan an apology because I believed her from jump and never made, shared, or reacted to any of the memes/jokes.

My sole comment (till this one) has been that I hope she cooperates with prosecution. Beyond that, I’ll just go back to not paying attention to the situation seeing as I don’t even…

This is a long game, this trial is just round one. At stakeis his bankability, into which at least one multinational corp has poured considerable investment.

Here’s the thing. For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction, right? Also, the law of inertia is relevant, right? So, as people attempt to move society to a different configuration and to establish different norms, there are those that will fight to retain the current configuration, vehemently and…

What I don’t understand is why you didn’t just buy the headset from the guy then install it yourself.

I missed the few days part. That just makes her even scummier.

The annoying part is she obviously took her ass to a hospital after all that big Mucinex and water/tea talk.
