Exactly, the only reason we got the New Deal and the subsequent massive expansion of the social safety net through the ‘60s is that it was clear to all involved that, in most cases, only white people could benefit from these programs. The post-WW2 era witnessed one of the most massive wealth transfers our nation has…

All I know is that white women were haranguing black women and insisting that gender is far more important than race. When they were finally offered up a white woman behind whom all the girls could behind, 1 in every 2 Beckies, Connies, Rachels, whatever, decided patriarchal racism was their lane. Whiteness, my…
Yep. This is absolutely a case of white people giving here the benefit that MJ is her bio-dad. And Black people seeing her with our own eyes.
That’d depend on if your adopted daughter’s birth parents are Hispanic. She is probably culturally Hispanic, if you raised her that way (and whatever that way is). But adopted children don’t discard their ethnic identities during transracial adoptions. Black children with white adoptive parents are still black.
What he said was misconstrued. He did not at all say that Brits shouldn’t get jobs here or anything like that. Musing how the role in Get Out might have been played differently by someone with a personal experience with American culture is not a diss. Black Americans know darn well that Black Brits are automatically…
I loved Nightride. Tinashe seems stuck in that Ciara/Christina Milian/Nicole Scherzinger space where she’s not doing anything wrong but nothing she does quite works or at least sticks enough to make a career out of. Better management or label might be able to fix it but I don’t think Flame is going to do it.
I always thought authentic meant the food people of that culture actually eat rather than food that is changed to fit another cultures tastes. I have noticed at least in the US that Chefs of Color that make their own cultures foods tend to get less money and accoladed when compared to White Chefs.
I am openly hostile now to the parents of my peers that made me hate myself as a child. Small town civility and all that other bullshit can go fuck themselves!
Does anyone else feel that your comprehension has changed dramatically regarding America and how you fit into it? My anger will not subside and quite frankly I feel much better about it. As a gay man I will no longer tolerate nor hold out any hope that this virulent, disgusting and capitalistic country, rotten to its…
Hip hop is a business. But it is also a culture. It’s not black or white. One or the other. It’s a balance of both. However, failing in one, truly hurts the other. Nicki is currently failing on the culture side of hip hop.
shETHER was so good that I completely forgot that Remy put out another track. That’s how crazy that was.
She challenged Remy to respond in 72 hours when it took her three weeks, ad she couldn’t even do it alone? I see...
Hope she paid her ghostwriters well for this, because that was weak.
And why enlist the help of a “rapper” whose been accused of ghostwriting (even though he did murder Meek but that’s another story for another day)? She is dragging all these people in her shit but I see through it. This beef was hers and given the time that’s passed she should have just stayed quiet or responded…
This worries me even more that the dangerous shit Trump’s doing. The bar has been placed a half inch off the ground and the media is willing to get down there and measure it. This asshat gives a speech with generics that no one can really disagree with (“We’re going to improve education,” said the guy who hired…
Nickis gone soft and her last few songs have been pop rap. She needs to get back to her roots because that Remy diss was fuckinggg fire
They voted for her in the primary, and made the general election margins the thinnest they’ve ever been. In any case, it doesn’t do well to have an old white man continue a centuries old tradition of marginalizing black voices in the south.
THANK YOU. Ida B Wells taught us, and we walked straight. FOHWTBS about ‘let-downs’ - we were stans for HRC to the very end. Y’all don’t get to be all revisionist on us, we’d nothing to do with the carnage on the 9th.
“If there was one minuscule shard of silver lining to take from Trump’s presidency, it was that perhaps this was the particular apocalypse the Democrats needed to reinvigorate its stultified base, one so underwhelmed by Hillary Clinton it largely couldn’t be bothered to vote.”
