Tina Fey embodies exactly why I think “white feminism” is a lot of trash, bc there is this refusal to acknowledge intersectionality and white privilege and a lot of her work just feels like she is punching down because she knows that even criticism from non-white women will be treated like misogyny because we aren’t…

I think it’s just a few white power players (pun probably intended) who say this and what is interesting is that when their forays into white washing fail spectacularly, as with MOST white things, they aren’t seen as indicative of a problem or proof that it’s a bad idea.

Do you seriously think putting ScarJo in it will make it into Star Wars though?

They keep trying to find ways to do it and pretend it’s not racist as fuck.

One of their recruiters reached out to me on Linkedin a few years back...I ignored the message.

It’s b/c things in the Valley are so ridiculous that being an odd little pretend prodigy really works well for social awkward white people.

Since she wasn’t even a science major, I don’t think they’d have mattered.

Well, that’s what happens when you drop out of your non-science BA program at 19. You don’t learn lots of things that would have kept this from happening.

I wish there was a guy like the guy from that Super Bowl commercial many years back who came out and tackled Silicon Valley assholes every time they used the word “disruptive”.

Everytime I see a new chapter to this clusterfuck story I laugh b/c I had a woman ask me if my hematopathologist sister who spent 4 years of medical school, a year in research, 4 years in residency and a year in fellowship was “worried” that this twat waffle’s ‘innovation’ was going to kill her ability to make a…

Sometimes I really cannot with people.

It’s called a wig. You know, Kylie Jenner invented them or something.

Why are ppl praising her stupid ass wigs. We know these are wigs. We’ve seen her real hair.

I have friends who had similar experiences...either black and adopted by whites, or black and raised by a white custodial parent, and yes, they definitely had to kind of find this path on their own later in life, and did in fact find ways to get more “involved” in black life and black culture.

Some of those people figure it out on their own later in life. Some figure it out with the help of friends. I have a friend raised by her white, divorced mom who went out of her way to tell her she wasn’t really black. She came to her own realizations about how she disagreed with that notion and also as it related to…

It’s about actual access...getting hired, getting access to education. All of those things have historically been easier for people who phenotypically had closer proximity to whiteness. I’m guessing you aren’t black but if I look at historical photos of black universities, black sororities and fraternities, and many…

Can any black woman answer that? I’m proud and happy to be black and would never want it any other way. The fact that it’s hard as hell and I get judged and mistreated for it doesn’t change the many wonderful things about it. I think we can choose to have our heads in the clouds and many black people, especially some…

She would have nailed it.

I think she politely said this by calling out the claim that Zoe somehow out-auditioned everyone else who showed up. Pretty sure I can act as well or better than Zoe Saldana’s wooden ass.

And maybe be willing to listen to ppl who live that life. They didn’t and still aren’t willing to admit that they don’t know as much as they think they do.
