I love Bill Cosby.
I love Bill Cosby.
I believe the winning moniker is Chick Grimes.
I think outside of the Maggie betrayal scene, this was the best TWD has been since Season 6.
Black women are the only group that has to deal with this kind of hatred from male counterparts.
“Maybe some folks are just tired of the support not being reciprocated.” Yeah, that’s fair. Black women were a big part of the March for Our Lives, and the Women’s March before that, and so many more since before I started paying attention or was even born. They saved AL from sexual predator Roy Moore. They got some…
Men that age run their mouths faster than they think - whether it’s because they think it’s funny, or because they think it makes them look “cool” to DGaF.
You’ll have better luck removing teeth from a sleeping tiger than to see soulless, black misogynists be held accountable for their actions.
Why do people keep saying the tweets were old? Some of them were from last summer. He stayed consistent in his anti-black beliefs for at least three years. Clearly, he lived his life based on them too, as evidenced by his encouragement of his Asian baby mama’s hatred of black women and his ironic dismissal of BLM…
you totally missed what I was saying.....my point was I understand if black women dont want to support men that say the things that were said....
Eloquently put. I see the controversy has led to a much needed discussion of how we don’t elevate Black women victims of state sanctioned police violence the way we do men in our community. I can understand why some Black women no longer wanted to march for him. We’ve always been there for Black men (ahem, O.J. and…
Meh. Plenty of Black women get raped and neglected by Black men, killed by whites, belittled by everyone else, and all I always hear is crickets, so I guess it doesn’t really matter. I think all of us need to focus on healing and protecting one another so that the evil white degenerate attacks stop. Last I checked,…
Wait a minute... “At this time in life and this country, if you speak out against us, don’t look for us when shit happens to you.” You can’t be serious?? So for as long as Black women have supported Black men despite the fact that support for Black women by Black men has been practically non-existent in public spheres…
“At this time in life and this country, if you speak out against us, don’t look for us when shit happens to you.” When have we needed Black men to “support” us; and better yet, when have they done so (as unequivocally as we have )? This is not a “tit-for-tat” issue; and your threat is not only truly meaningless but…
Sistas, if you hold back your support for men like this, do that. We all, black men and women, will jump on board when something happens to our folk. At this time in life and this country, if you speak out against us, don’t look for us when shit happens to you. Yes, what happened to dude was fucked up, but equally so…
In the comments where this was originally brought up, a bunch of black men got in their feelings and purposefully tried to misconstrue the discussion to mean that black women thought he deserved his death.
I’m no longer supporting those who do not support us.
I agree. I think there is an expectation that black women are just used to suffering and maybe even prefer it. We don’t. We want to be like everyone else just living. We don’t have to support people who hate us as a group. We don’t have that responsibility, not to black men, not to anyone.
Yes, let his racist Asian baby mama protest in the streets. I will show up for women, children and puppies - that’s it!! I will even show up for internally sexist, pick me! cool girls. Yes, I’ll put on my cape for them. These ladies and girls have a better chance of making a change then black men who hate black women.
I’ll go ahead and jump this off with my unpopular opinion. “but Clark’s death is bigger than him and the unsavory things he tweeted three years ago.” This is true...but when do Black women get our time to make our issues bigger than everyone else? We’ve been marching and protesting for everyone else since the…
I run in a lot of offline nerd spaces and honestly the people who are still watching and enjoying the show are the ones who are completely unplugged from any commentary happening online. There’s something to be said for that level of detachment.
