Stop hating? Do you even know what that term means? You are using it incorrectly so no, no you don’t. Further, no one said she cannot have an opinion because of her race; rather, what I have said repeatedly in this thread is that couching her opinion in terms of her “approval” of the work “as a white woman” is white…
My favorite part of this article are the comments where (presumably) a bunch of white people are telling minority students with what they should feel comfortable.
Why are you friends with a bunch of racists?
Because that’s not what she said; she said:“Beyonce made an art piece celebrating black women and I approve.” She forgot that feeling or even giving voice to that “approval” is rooted in notions of white supremacy.
We don’t need your “AS A WHITE PERSON, I LOVE THIS” bullshit. You love it because you are a person, because you connected with the work on a emotional level, because you found you relevant to your personal experience, not because of your fetishization of black female beauty.
The “disclaimers” do not annihilate the fetishism. She stands from the outside screaming: “Society does not but I approve! I approve!” We do not seek her approval; we do not want her approval.
She can acknowledge that but the issue with her post is how she deigns to give her approval to the work AS A WHITE WOMAN as if anyone asked for it and showing that she really does not “get it.”
Your chief mistake was thinking black women need or even want your approval. I understand that you were trying to express how much you connected with the work but your diction reveals only a fetishistic appreciation.
“... a group that used violence and intimidation to advance ... an overthrow of white domination.”
The real question is: why are you married to an asshole?
I don’t know about that. I’m Jamaican and Anglican. Church lasts 1-1.5 hours. The only times we ever maybe go 2 hours is Christmas and Easter.
Didn’t we already do this movie concept? Oh, but now we have Uber drivers? K.
Shouldn’t this article be titled “Tyga Has Been Seen with Four Angela Kardashian lookalikes this year” full stop?
Wow. This post went right over your head, didn’t it? Either that or you are being intentionally daft and sophomoric to defend your own shitty views. 1) Don’t disparage people by stating without any evidence that they have shitty views on gay people. You have no idea what Solomon Northup thought of gay people. 2)…
Excessive emoting.
Expressing feigned regret is not a meaningful apology when you continue to use the same racist rhetoric and fail to correct the misinformation you supposedly regret espousing.

What does this even mean? You can tell what kind of music someone likes based on how they look? #thingsthataredumb
Black men only could not vote? Ummm, women’s suffrage in the US did not give black women the right to vote no matter how many times white feminists try to claim it did. Check your facts.
