Not your call and they were supposed to have given her up and thought they had settlers rights to her, which white ppl like to do.

White ppl gonna white. They can’t help it. One minute one drop makes you other and when it is convenient, they want to mock us for it.

It’s so tired but white ppl have been stealing Native children forever. Like I have a college classmates (we are Gen X) and her small children represent the FIRST generation of children where none of the kids have been stolen from the family. I should be shocked but stealing shit that isn’t theirs is kind of a white…

She build her company with her husband’s money. So it’s pretty fair to do this. WW frequently get a huge leg up from wealthy fathers and husbands. Not sure why you all like to deny this. But sure, keep pretending like you get better opportunities than WOC b/c you all are so awesome

Maybe b/c your straps aren’t technically supposed to be carrying the weight of your breasts so much as balancing the work done by the cups, underwire, and band. And I say this as a G cup that doesn’t get bruises or cuts from my straps, and it was something I’ve seen when they explain sizing and measuring for a bra.…

White privilege

There is a lot to be said about who is assumed to be a quirky and carefree black girl though. This is a discussion black woman have...dark skinned BW who have her aesthetic are somehow always excluded from this description.

are you me? Bc I saw this ALL of the time. It is so gross. As a dark-skinned woman I hate how we are erased so much in popular culture unless someone wants an asexual maid or slave.

I love how they ignore the fact that the entire show that she was shitting all over is the creation of another WOMAN, but you know, she’s black so no one here at Jezebel will act like her womanhood matters.

Are you forgetting that she was a woman working for a woman. Oh right, Shonda Rhimes is black so she’s not a real woman compared to Heigl so WW aren’t going to stand up for her right not to have her employees be dickish to her.

Right, there are too many folks that you can add or remove from an ensemble cast but also, Heigl’s behavior on her many film projects was also an issue. I love that Shonda didn’t put her with her bullshit and also that she doesn’t pussyfoot around it.

Yeah. Her mom is her long time manager (she was an actress as a preteen/young teen) who apparently contributed to that as well. So I think she had a momager who more or less raised her into being really difficult and unlike a lot of folks, I think her momager remained her main rep into adulthood. She was basically…

Why are people ignoring the fact that JUST getting kicked out of school for raping a classmate is actually a pretty light punishment. This is rape culture. For some reasons, people are loath to see certain kinds of men pay the price for violent crime. This guy is white, possibly wealthy, definitely privileged, and was…

Actually Black men love to pedestal Latina women as being superior to non-Latina Black women(and there are loads of hateful memes on social media that prove it, as well as the equally ignorant insistence that they are “Spanish”), while ignoring that without knowing them, many of us look identical. I have plenty of…

it’s totally disgusting but not surprising. it’s why ppl have no problems when ppl gun us down like animals. Tamir Rice, Aiyana Jones, Trayvon Martin, etc.

See, this is why as a black person out here I don’t want to see them try it. It could be funny but not with the ppl who run the show. It would likely be unfunny and uncomfortable and still playing into the idea that white guys rule.

I do think it really gets what it’s like...get the hubris, gets the ego, the self-importance. I do love that part of the show.

I think it could be funny to show what it’s like to be black out here, but I just don’t think anyone involved could do anything other than resorting to stupid stereotypes of blackness. As an actual black person living here, the way ppl revert to stupid slang when they see your black skin might be funny. Only it then…

They have an Indian dude which is probably the most common non-white person out here. It could be hilarious to show what a black tech founder or employee goes through (ppl using stupid slang when they talk to you, ppl giving you excuses that they never bring up when dealing with white guys) but I don’t think anyone…

The thing is it could be very funny to send up the Silicon Valley’s lack of diversity beyond whites and Asian males, but I also don’t think anyone involved with this show could do it well, so I’m actually ok not seeing it (as a BW who lives here and works in tech...these ppl don’t get it and I think would be offensive…
