I find surrogacy in general to be a concept I find pretty disturbing despite its widespread acceptance in the culture - we’ve normalized literally buying the reproductive capacities of other people’s bodies, and just kind of overlook that most of the women being used as surrogates are young, poor, and marginalized on…

The problem is there’s no real word for “using POC styling/fashion/language/music/appearance for personal enhancement, profit, or amusement.” Blackface used to mean the outright mockery, through costume and makeup, of a stereotypical version of “blackness.” While it doesn’t appear that Kim is doing that in these…

They don’t want the truth, but thanks for saying it anyway. Do you see the other comments? ‘It’s not blackface, it’s performative blackness,’ Blackface is specific, and this doesn’t meet that specific standard.’ GTFOHWTB. These broads have spent and made all this money imitating the essence and nuances of blackness…

Thank you

Tell it!

Performative blackness is a better term for people like Kylie Jenner.

Yes, we get it, blackface traditionally was black shoe polish and big red lips. The presence of all these comments totally dismissing this problematic photo is evidence of how racism has evolved and become normalized in 2017. Do not dismiss this because it doesn’t look like 1920s blackface. She is intentionally making…

You are right. It is specific and I’m not sure it rises to that

I think it’s appropriate. Both Kim K and Ariana Grande darken their skin to look more like a POC for the perceived social benefits. This is akin to white minstrels who wanted to indulge in the culture of blacks with a wink and nod that they were not actually black. Or, quite simply, “Rather to reign in hell than serve…

Aaaaaaaaaand that’s the reason she’s posting what she did.

Counterpoint: The reason Trump and his supporters continue to shit all over us is because that is what they do.

Say that! I’m a light skinned, not recently mixed, Black woman, too, and let me agree early and often. She is full of shit. This heffa is out. of. line.

There is colorism, but the thing is that she benefits from it. Yeah, there are a bunch of rappers, but who says they are actually making money?

Tinashe benefits from the colorism. Funny she claims that all the rappers look alike when she looks like a million other light-skinned girls the industry tries and fails to make the next Rih/Bey.

As a historian the conflation of Irish immigration and (voluntary!) indentured servitude with chattel slavery MAKES ME CRAZY. As does dummies who talk about what Republicans and Democratsdid in the 19th century like they’re the same parties today. How convenient to forget the 20th century realignment that was based on…

I wish employers would just pay their employees a living wage so I wouldn’t have to tip. I also wish famous people didn’t feed this trend in society towards competitive over-tipping.

Ummmm not even the cops are claiming they were shot at...

That’s not being faithful. That’s being insulting to women.

Yea, in all fairness, she has an internet connection and literally nothing but free time on her hands. She isn’t a single mother working two jobs and trying to make ends meet, she is a “celebrity” who could easily access this kind of information. And not having a lot of education isn’t really an excuse- there are…

Ah the luxury of having never bought an item from Walmart. You obviously have never lived in a small town with poor parents, and the only place for 30 miles is a Walmart. In rural areas, it’s a necessity.
