    I used to read fashion blogs and keep up with fashion week. As I got older I realized there are hardly ever Black designers and very few Black models get to walk the runways. Paris and London fashion weeks are even worse. It seems to be hard for Black designers to get money to design their first collections and market

    I came here to say the same thing. Louis C.K. wrote for Chris Rock before his fall from grace. Dave Chappelle has Neal Brennan a White co-writer. They are seen as crossover comedians because White hipsters and White dudes like them. Neither Amy Schumer or Sarah Silverman are funny, but they are White women comedians

    I’m happy for Cardi and generally like her. Beyonce was a legend way before streaming sales were a thing so that’s weightier to me. More than one Black woman can win in music though. Time will tell if Cardi has the impact and staying power of Nicki Minaj. Right now there’s room for all our ladies to prosper.

    She had the success of “Girlfriends”, which I used to love watching and was the reason I gave “Black-ish” a chance. Both Tracee Ellis Ross and Anthony Anderson should be earning the same and more money than the network pays them.

    If they hired some Black people in their ad, design, and corporate departments they would not have these problems. Companies like H&M love using the cool factor of Black people to sell clothes to trendy White hipsters, but they are racist. They’re even being lazy with this Diversity Leader hire. The woman already

    Most of dystopian fiction is putting White people in a future that has already come, gone, and is still here for Black folks. Look at books like The Hunger Games where you have White people rebelling against a rich evil class. The Handmaiden’s tale is Black women’s story from all around the world. Their bodies used

    You don’t know how many times I’ve had to bite my tongue at work when White people bring out the Chicago excuse (Why are the NFL players kneeling but quiet about Chicago? etcetcetc) All this fake concern for a city you don’t even live in when every member of your family is on opioids and a general mess.

    This has been one of many problems I have with the immigration fight. All these wannabe Whites (mostly Asian American, Arab Americans, and Hispanics/Latinos) think they deserve to stay here illegally when African immigrants usually come here legally and contribute to the economy with taxable jobs. Yet, corporations

    There are Black parts of SI where they are putting all the poor Black people who are getting kicked out due to gentrification, but this is not one of those neighborhoods.

    “When in distress just play stupid. Somebody will feel sorry for you”-White Women’s Book of Bullsh*t: Becky Chronicles 10:1-8.

    I’m usually not here for pettiness, but orange satan is racist and sexist so I’ve got time today. He probably wears lifts in his shoes, so I’m going to say 5'11 and at least 300 pounds. There is no way he is 200 and something with that much fat on his body. This White House lies as easily as most of us take a breath.

    I respect Nina Turner and am glad she’s endorsing Stacey Abrams. Georgia is one of many states built on the back of slaves. Black blood is in the soil. It’s high time they elected a Black governor and we are all overdue for a Black woman governor. I hope the DNC puts their money and support behind her. I’m tired of

    I would like to see her story made into a movie. We need more stories about Black heroines and trailblazers. It’s ashamed Black ballerinas are still seen as inferior and face discrimination especially when we have some of the best classically trained dancers in the world. I’m always amazed when I go to an Alvin Ailey

    I have family in the Atlanta area. This is something older Black people still discuss. I can’t even imagine how terrifying it must have been for children and parents. I’ll never understand why human beings decide to become mass murderers.

    These White kids just can’t help themselves. They love Black culture and hate Black people. She didn’t have to travel all the way to Bama to be racist. Plenty of Whites like her up here in the Northeast. Just get them a couple of drinks and they’ll tell you what they really think about Black people. Welcome to the

    Thank you for pointing that out. Lots of people have to work retail at Wal-Mart and other jobs at fast food places. As I said before, these tax cuts aren’t going to do anything for the average worker. Corporations are going to take these tax cuts and automate more jobs. You’ll see more self-checkout lanes at Wal-Mart

    I’m happy for Dewanda Wise getting a big opportunity. I’m not expecting much from “Captain Marvel”. It’ll be just like the new Star Wars with the White woman being the big “diversity we need” hero and the Black sidekicks somewhere. When there are only White people, even if they are women, writing and directing we get

    I won’t be watching this nonsense. There are enough White men late-night hosts on regular tv, so I don’t want to see one who (supposedly) retired on a streaming service I pay for. David Letterman is a sleaze. We all know he’s not going to ask any in-depth questions.

    That is the only entertainment I get out of this whole book situation. The silliness of wealthy White masters of the universe. White folks at work are having a new Civil War over this book, and I’m in the corner occasionally smirking over the pettiness of it all. I don’t give a single f u c k that tiny hands eats junk
