I agree with you. I’m happy for this guy, but in this extremely anti-immigrant climate, it’s a really insidious message to send. People are only worth being in a country if they’re willing to risk their lives? Yikes.
These folks acting cute and talking about “I’m HALF-BLACK, can I use it?” Nigga, if you gotta ask, you know the answer is no.

I mean, if you have to ask, you probably already know the answer to that question.
THIS. Kathy Griffin did that photo shoot of her holding Trump’s bloody head, but throwing some water at Tammy is too much? #solidarityisforwhitewomen
Hmmm, when you put it that way, being biracial and identifying as Black becomes a political act. The beauty of Blackness is that we look fifty kinds of ways, and there’s no one way to look or be Black. The struggle of acknowledging skin tone privilege and colorism is real, but so is your Blackness.

Boycott H&M and as many clothing retailers as possible. The sweatshop labor used to make clothing is disgusting and people seemingly don’t care about it any more. Own fewer items of clothing, and save your coins.
Thank you for sharing this. I feel like it’s vital to inculcate biracial and multiracial children who are Black with a sense of Black pride because the whole world will be more than willing to tell them the non-Black part of them is the only part that’s good. Hopefully your husband will come around and recognize that…
THIS. I’m sorry, but Michael’s article is a bad take. Black men are TWICE as likely as Black women to marry outside their race but he straight up forgot/neglected to mention this. The male/female disparity isn’t quite as large for any other racial group. I swear, it’s like Black men can’t help but make false…
Okay, but in his defense, tons of politicians do their racist role-play on the job. At least he TRIED to keep it behind closed doors!
The thing is, not all Black people are men. And when you say that these people are making the biggest political statements, you have to look at what they have to say about Black men AND Black women. For some of the Black men married to white partners who make Black art, it’s interesting how Black women are either…
Being shitty to Black people isn’t gender exclusive, and self-hate is an equal opportunity disease, but it’s derailing in the extreme to ignore the misogynoir that Black women face FROM BLACK MEN. It’s also a false equivalency and ignores reality to say that both sides are the same. That is patently false.
ARGH, that thread was fucking ridiculous. It’s really crazy how quickly some Black men will jump at the chance stomp on a Black woman...
What’s the quote about straight black men and white women being the weakest links in the struggle for equality? It’s mis-attributed to Angela Davis, but it’s not inaccurate. Frankly, I think this sentiment applies to Donald Glover. I don’t think the fact that he has a white partner inherently affects his art, but it…
I would argue that dark skin black men don’t suffer from colorism on an institutional level, but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t happen on an individual basis.
I love how Laura Ingraham, a woman who recently had the nerve to go after a child being rejected from colleges, thinks this set was “mean”. Conservative delusions are real y’all!
THIS. People need to get their facts right about Kim Kardashian. She’s worth more than him. A lot can be said about her public image and the problems with it, but she ain’t no slouch in the bank account.
The overwhelming majority of Black men marry Black women (among all socioeconomic groups) and most Black women end up married, we just get married later in life. For the Black men that don’t want Black love, it’s their loss, you know? Black women are not undesirable, and for Black men who think that, they need to…
