BOOM! Any time I've attempted to bring up her race baiting from the campaign, folks around here start foaming at the mouth or plug their ears like "la la la I can't hear you ... but ... she's ... EMPOWERING"

How can you call yourself "intersectional" and dismiss concerns that intersectional feminists have been making for ages? I suppose Womanism and Black Feminism are movements that are comprised entirely of trolls which are, by your definition, women of color who have the audacity to criticize feminism because their…

True. I also thought satirizing consumerism in hip hop and black standards of beauty for her video was a strange choice because the lyrics focus more on "mainstream" standards of beauty (thinness, lipo, plastic surgery, Hollywood etc). It doesn't even work as a blurred lines satire because the objectification in that…

Thanks for policing black female sexuality, white feminists! It's shit like this that makes women of color distance themselves from the term feminism. Anything that deviates from the "look" of women's liberation—Lilith Fair singer songwriter types, Pussy Riot, Hillary Clinton, fucking Riot Girrrl bangs, etc—is…

She really looks like Tracie, especially when her hair was black.

booooooooo! hated it!

You're absolutely right! Besides, he favors Dobby the house elf from Harry Potter!

Also, the danger in designating Aryn and GinaMarie as the racist bogeymen of the season is akin to our labeling Paula Dean as THE face of American racism. It makes many folks feel better about themselves because as long as they are not actively making overtly racist remarks, then they cannot be accused of being…

Andy is guilty of racism by association. He was present when many of these racist remarks were made and would laugh and prod his cast mates along. Additionally, once Candice was evicted, he would constantly bring her name up to make fun of her. He tried to defend himself in an interview by stating that he was unfairly…

Can we please talk about the fact that Lisa Rinna's hair is just oh.so.dated? It's very Extra correspondent circa 2002.

She played a character based off of Donatella in Ugly Betty. I believe her name was Fabia.

Like I said, I've known her since 2007 and have even seen her live a few times. I'm well acquainted with her music.

Clark Park, you say? I think we're neighbors, lol.

Me too! I think she's an entitled, nasty attitude brat. I remember when that mid 2000's 60's girl group look and sound was in, Solange claimed that she came up with that look and folks like Winehouse, Duffy, etc copied her. And the way she bristles whenever someone brings up Beyonce's name in an interview drives me…

Since her 2007 debut, I've desperately wanted to like her. But something about her (especially her live performances) makes me grimace. I find her schtick exceedingly corny and contrived. Like she is supposed to be the cooky quirky ringleader of the "alternative" black girl—the anti-Beyonce, if you will. She's…

Can we talk about the fact that the related story linked to this article is the one about Rupert Murdoch divorcing Wendi? Gawker is messy ...

THANK YOU!!!! This is absolutely true!

Interesting perspective but as a black woman, I could not help but wonder if your "nuanced" perspective is due (at least in part) to your having a white mother, and thus, feeling more compassion/somewhat relating to curious white people in general.

That's a fair assessment. I think she is very industrious, but "empty calories" is an apt description. However, being empty calories is pretty par for the course in Hollywood so it doesn't explain the level of vitriol she receives or the fact that she's singled out for doing "nothing."
