Yeah. As a Black person who has attended predominantly white schools and who currently attends a PWI, I can think of countless examples of white teachers making a point about racism or oppression at the expense of Black students. I refuse to stand for that. I will leave a fucking classroom, roll right into a Dean’s

As a dark skin woman, I agree, but there is more nuance to “Don’t make dark girls video vixens.” Kimberly Foster, the founder of ForHarriet said it best: “I don’t want to be put on a pedestal, but I refuse to be a footstool.” I’m fine not being objectified, but I would love to not be put down solely because of my skin

Jimmy Fallon is a trash comedian, but I appreciate him giving The Roots a steady gig. Obviously they deserve better, but a stable job allows them to do what they love while collecting a paycheck and still see their loved ones.

Women in the public eye are under a weird pressure to “perform” pregnancy for the public, so while I laud her for keeping this private, I wonder if part of her opting out of being publicly pregnant was to preserve the celebrity she has built around her hyper-sexual image. Which means she only chose to opt-out of a

Holy shit. There are parts of this interview that were mad questionable, but the excerpts are not a good look at all. Man, fuck these Black people with unicorn syndrome who act like they’re challenging White supremacy by putting other Black people down for White audiences. This book is gonna be a no from me.

Ivanka is a fucking heiffer and she needs to keep Black History Month out of her ugly-ass mouth. Like, nice try Complicit Barbie, but it’s not ALL Americans that need equality, dignity, and opportunity, it’s the groups her fucking father’s administration is actively working to oppress that need those things. Fuck her.

The operative difference is that Melania presenting her gift in a Tiffany & Co. box turned a state visit into product placement for an establishment that was irritated because of all the security and protests around Trump Tower. I can see Michelle being taken aback by suddenly starring in a commercial.

Counterpoint: Bless these triflin’ men who have the decency to stay away from Black women because they hate us. Ain’t no sister got time for them and their complexes.

THIS. I went to a Barre class and was horrified by the lightening speed we were transitioning from one form of exercise to another, with very few form corrections. I did NOT go back.

I’m not a fan of Cardi B at all. She does not identify as Black, and that’s totally fine, but when asked about using the N-word in her music, she had the nerve to say she’s not going to stop using it because it’s just lingo and white people think of minorities as all the same. She’s said fucked up things about dark

This is really infuriating. Like, we have not had anything remotely resembling truth and reconciliation for the horrors that slavery inflicted on Black people in this country. Saying “Black Lives Matter” in response to the state-sanctioned violence and killings of Black people is controversial. To ask students to take

“She’s hardly Serena Williams”

“but viewing art is not a right, nor has it ever been.”

Bless. We women have been getting mad solemn lately, but may we use this energy for action. I’m talking about the #FayChallenge. Ladies should definitely remove their makeup mid-date in 2018. What a way to eliminate the fuck boys who aren’t worth anybody’s time.  

I was raised by a single father and he’s pretty fair skinned whereas I have dark skin. It wore me out hearing “Your father is so attractive/ARE YOU ADOPTED?” But any time I expressed a wish to have lighter eyes/straighter hair/or look like him, he would always tell me I had the best kind of skin because I never got a

Honestly, as a dark skin girl, watching this video made me feel thankful. Because as much colorist bullshit as I sometimes I have to put up with, thank god I don’t have to deal with stupid ass men who see me as a fucking object to be collected. Call that dark skin privilege, but it’s so wonderful having fewer

This is making me angry as hell. I can’t believe she gets paid money to perform. WHAT WORLD IS THIS???

While I’m all for Black men learning self-care and self-love and using each other as role models, when I’m going down a youtube rabbit hole of natural hair, it’s because I want to see Black women. There is also something really irritating about girly or feminine interests being derided as silly or ignored (which I’m

Bless this comment. Blackness isn’t about the struggle, but the triumph and if that’s not a legacy to claim, IDK what is.

That’s because we live in a White supremacist country where anti-Blackness runs rampant, and any cultural sphere that White people can’t have full access to is considered terrible, without any respect to all of the social and cultural spheres Black people lack access to.
