I get it and she’s not wrong. But I hate the idea that equality means women essentially striving to be more like men. I think the world would be a better place if men were encouraged to chill the fuck out and act more ‘ladylike’

“He is the troll-in-chief.”

I’m riding with and for you on this. I’m a dark-skinned, obviously Black woman. His phenotype is clearly very different and I think he is honestly expressing what his experience is. There are parts that made me a little uncomfortable, but when folks discuss religion, for example, something similar occurs. Pres Obama’s…

I find it interesting that you don’t see why “all my skinfolk ain’t my kinfolk” is applicable here. You wrote an article supporting Michele and chastising those who do not see the necessity of going out of their way to express empathy for a woman who lacked the same feelings for her own community. This is the perfect…

Didn’t know her before she cooned, forgot about her after she cooned, and wishing her well as she goes back to the sunken place.

They knew Black people don’t act like white people. White people would have gotten violent like the fucking pillagers they are at the slightest offense (see history).

I’ll have you know I waste time in myriad ways-putting crap on my face is just one of them, and it’s nowhere close to being the most frivolous.

This is a really bad take on a great article.

I actually didn’t hate this book when it came out and I gave Sheryl Sandberg the benefit of the doubt. But ever since she’s been silent about Trump, met with him, and then only delivered some milquetoast post on Facebook about the travel ban she can shut the fuck up and sit the fuck down. She’s not really interested…

What the heck is he responding too? Jackson didn’t question his blackness, he was making a point about unique experiences in the Black diaspora and how it affects our approaches to certain things - putting it in the context of the games Hollywood play regarding race and casting. I share a Caribbean heritage but that…

We can talk about that, but let’s not pretend that suddenly capitalism is an issue when a Black woman is rich and famous as fuck. Let’s not criticize every famous Black woman who says she’s a feminist while praising famous white women for the bare minimum. And let’s not dismiss Beyonce for being sexual while praising…

Man. Economic anxieties are popping up everywhere. Economic equality would have stopped this from happening. Shame, DNC.

Lazy. Raise your hand if you’ve ever worked for a lazy ass white man who was handed a job by other dumb white folk and then you not only had to train him, but cover for his dumb ass so you also didn’t lose your job.

He wants a seat at the table even if it’s the one for the servants. He legit believes he can earn/educate his way out blackness.

Mortgages and student loans are welfare for white people.

Not to step on your toes here, but racism isn’t a competition- it certainly isn’t one I signed on for- and by using anti-black phrases like Uncle Tom and Aunt Jemima, you’re undercutting your point about anti-(East?) Asian racism. Nobody’s the last refuge as a target of racism. All this is happening at once. Please…

THIS. You can’t be famous and use racial epithets on TV but Jesse Watters has said truly awful things about black people and it wasn’t even news.

As a Black woman, it always weirds me out when people say things like this, as I experience, see, read, and hear about people being openly racist to people who look like me every day, and know firsthand how strong anti-Black racism is in many Asian communities. This idea that other POC and some white people have that…
