Exactly. There are black people all across this country from different socio economic backgrounds, different upbringings, living in different neighborhoods, with different educations and outlooks. There are just as many Michelle Obamas, Oprahs, Solange Knowles, Alfre Woodards etc as there are poor inner city young…

Yes killed by police officers for broken tail lights and jailed for minor offenses, and I am not talking about inner city blacks. Yes, rich white male republicans have the answer for black people. A millionaire real estate tycoon who failed at multiple business ventures from a cheesy reality show has the answer for…

Ha, as a Woc born and raised in the Midwest I will tell you, most white women have no interest in sisterhood, especially If you don’t fit in with them or with their idea of femininity. The most bullying and horrible treatment through school and in my career has been at the hands of middle class white women. They are…

Wow, who cares what her bangs look like? Im sure she didn’t cut her bangs to please you. The article is about a difficult time for her company, not her looks. She started her small business at 21 with no help and over a decade because of pure customer demand it grew. She has talked about how hard it’s been to get…

Trump fear mongered with no real policies the entire campaign. Build a wall? Isis is coming? Blacks are dangerous and living in hell? Bring back stop and frisk? People like you are the problem. My entire family and every other black family sat in disbelief at his narrow minded, offensive, condescending statements…

Right, like how we’ve been here for centuries and I still get “curious” questions about my hair. Why do I know everything about sunless tanner and hilights, but you just can’t grasp the basics like what happens when my hair gets wet? There are actual documentaries on the subject. The “innocence” of the question comes…

The world didn’t end but things got worse for certain Americans. The world might not end now but things certainly will be much harder for certain people if Pence gets his way.

I live in New York and am originally from a small town in the Midwest. So are many of my NY friends. We have legit heard women from these areas say they don’t respect or trust Hillary because if Bill cheated, there must be something wrong with her, she can’t maintain her marriage or “control her man”. It’s the old…

This. When you’re privileged, equality feels like oppression.

Because basic white women want male approval above all else and because of this shitty patriarchal system they need to keep their two legged ATM’s happy. Try to take care of or provide for yourself as a woman in this country: get sexually harassed out of your job, bullied out of your job, refused a raise or equal pay…

Exactly.

Yes, because most people obviously choose to work retail. I had to work full time and finish college full time with no parental help. The only job flexible enough (can’t do a 9-5 around classes)and that would hire a student without open availability was retail. We had to do “perfect closes” until 2am for corporate…

I’ve been a manager at many customer service based companies. The majority of the time the customer is at fault when they complain, and even when the employee is smiling and professional through the interaction, the customer is rude and demanding and wants some special treatment. Or demands to see a manager when they…

They do that at Trader Joe’s too. Even when I’m in a rush it’s so many questions and fake banter.

She doesn’t owe being sympathetic. The racist, clueless flight attendant deserves every bit of vitriol directed her way. Black women are tired of smiling and “behaving gracefully” through mistreatment by snobby hateful people like this bitter awful flight attendant. She would have gotten much worse than “heifer” from…

Kind of like every time I’m called to address a technical problem or complicated customer issue as a store manager, and get talked over and argued with by said customer until I get a white male manager to say the same thing I’ve stated repeatedly. It’s suddenly valid when a “real” I.e white male manager says it. My…

Yeah, can’t think of the term for that phenomenon right now, but generally the more people who witness something the fewer help.

There’s a great documentary on Netflix called “The Mask I Live In” about the persistence of male aggression and crime and how a lack of positive male role models/involved fathers plus the false macho ideal of “masculinity” leads to self hatred and fear. It goes in depth on how men don’t know how to self reflect or…

Because a lot of women don’t like themselves/are insecure/desperately crave male attention (but hide that fact) so they project and lash out at other women. Had it happen soo many times in the workplace, at school, with friends etc.

Because many women want their Prince, regardless of what that actually entails or what he actually turns out to be. If things end poorly, she either should have known better or she did something wrong to turn him back into a frog. A lot of women desperately want their fantasy of a prince, and resent women who reveal…
