That is the truth, but are you just going to pretend centuries of colonialism that had its basis in the supremacy of whiteness doesn’t really factor into it? Sure, fair skin indicates that you’re rich and you spend your time indoors, just like bound feet did in China. BUT, White skin in media, in the culture and IRL…

Having said that, skin lightening creams are total bullshit, and Emma is probably embarrassed and furious to have her image associated with one.

In many countries, historically, paler skin was associated with ruling classes and wealth because a fair complexion indicated a life not spent toiling outside in the fields. Asian ladies in my town who shield themselves from the sun with umbrellas are not trying to look like white people, they’re trying to avoid a…

I know some people are going to brush this away, but I cannot tell you how harmful these ads are, how pervasive and how damaging. Being Afro-Brazilian on one side & Indian on the other, I see this shit in both my cultures, and with a lot of my female friend and family circle and I still, at 45 years old, I still can’t…

I believe you read this, but I am not inclined to give Gov. Deal this kind of credit. I’d be glad to find out I’m wrong.

“I’m sorry mom, I won’t do it again. Can I have my football back now?”

Welp, we’ll see if it saves his ass. I understand the state legislature is deeply butthurt and is furiously working to override his veto. They won’t be denied their political self-immolation, dammit!

Yeah, I don’t know how to feel about this. Like, I’m super happy that queer and trans folks won’t get legally discriminated against in Georgia, but I’m disappointed that the only thing standing in the bill’s way was a veto and big business interests.

Oh, please. Dude is making a decision based purely on money and trying to make it about “doing the right thing.” Oh, NOW you’re a “welcoming state. It is full of loving, kind and generous people”?

Yes.

Ok, so it’s a proximity thing? If you aren’t within a generation or two of a couple who were distinctly of different races, it doesn’t count?

She means that while Robyn has white ancestry in her bloodline, her parents and grandparents are not white, so she’s not biracial (Robyn says she doesn’t have any “direct white ancestry.”) Usually biracial offspring come from two parents with two physically distinct identities (black and white; black and asian, etc.)…

Personally I’d define it as one parent of one race and one of another race leaving out grandparents and great grandparents because hell many of us would be considered biracial given the history of slavery as she pointend out. And black because she identifies and is perceived as such.

I started watching some show about the Costa Concordia one time and had to turn it off after like 7 minutes because the people they were interviewing were so dumb. One couple was like, “We didn’t pay attention to the safety demonstration because the boat sinking is the last thing you think would happen when you’re on…

I would be so proud- please tell me your secrets!

The one example given is... not that great. Programming as a field in 1950 when it was dominated by women is radically different from today. I’d venture that it’s not even the same field, despite the same name.

“The reverse was true when a job attracted more men.”

Did you even read the entire article? You've completely missed the point. The problem isn't that she featured and has a big butt...that's WHY she's featured and is being hailed as some game changer that is doing something no one has done before by having a big butt and showcasing it. JLO has been in those magazines…

The point is the WOC have rarely been praised for being "buxom" or "curvy", instead we've been treated like specimens under the white gaze or like trash for whites to mock and demean.

As a white woman who has always had a big ass... I hate this woman. I don't believe it's real, and I hate my butt. always have. and I 100% agree with the following statement.
