Fuck outta here with that nonsense. Me and my family had insurance and medical care, including dental and vision care growing up because of my dad’s union. My dad, who is a blue collar worker in a food factory and who could never afford to go to college, will be able to retire comfortably in a few years because of the…
YES, HE IS AWESOME. AND FOINE AS HELL TOO. He also has some of the best jokes in the movie. To the point where he liteterally laughs at how damn funny he is.
I tend to stick with the Freetress brand, as their hair doesn’t shed nearly as much as other people’s and they have a decent amount of colors. Before I install it, I do soak the hair in warm water with a few teaspoons of apple cider vinegar and a teaspoon of shampoo for 15 minutes. Then I rinse it all out, rinse, pat…
I do a similar thing and rock crochet weaves that are natural hair so that I have an awesomely shaped curly fro. Too many textures to work with and not enough time anymore. So crochets it is. Though I love them since I can experiment with all sorts of different colors without damaging my own hair.
Are you me, lol? My grandfather is Mexican, from Mexico and Mestizo. He married my grandmother, who was half Black, half white but who is culturally African-American. Because her white father (my great-grandfather) was woke for the time and lived with his black wife (my great-grandmother) in mostly Black…
I have the misfortune of having met a number of older black folks who don’t do much for their kids and rationalize it by saying, “nobody did anything for me.” As if the maids and pullman porters who raised them were in a position to do anything other than keep a roof over their heads and food on the table.
Oh, it already dropped on me. I made a comment about the White Feminism around here on this article and of course, I’m back in the greys hours later.
The easy solution to that is to hire more WOC (and non-straight women too, as this site has blind spots about that), especially in editorial positions. Isn’t Jez based out of NYC? And yet the there isn’t a large amount of WOC that reflects its location.
Wait, are Williams and Dunham actually friends? Really? If that’s true, that’s insanely disappointing.
Oh, I absolutely believe you. In fact, a few hour after making my comment, I’m suddenly back in the grey for some mysterious reason.
Likely because those commentors see themselves in Dunham, which makes it incredibly hard for them to separate themselves from her gross-ass racism and classism.
Just try to control your impulse to try to tell other people what they should and shouldn’t be talking about.
Jezebel has ALWAYS had it major blind spots when it comes to discussions of feminism that doesn’t involve white women. And even worse, when WOC bring this up in the comments, we’re always attacked and jumped on for pointing it out. And it’s all sorts of topics, be it politics, beauty, celebrity, gossip and so on. I…
I mean, to be blunt, most WOC I know divested from Dunham’s garbage-ass years ago. So yeah, we’re not surprised by her usual shitty antics. As well as the constant defense of her here on White Feminism R Us Jezebel. Thank the old gods and new for The Root.
Read what I said. I said she didn’t call out Rihanna, Naomi, Gaga or any other female celeb for using human hair extensions. She called out the easy target of Kardashian. I used the silk, leather and fur example as other things in high fashion that she didn’t call out. Especially because high fashion is incredibly…
Leather, hair and silk comes from murdered animals bodies too. But you didn’t call that out.
By that argument, we shouldn’t purchase most clothes, products, food or much anything. We especially shouldn’t purchase or follow high-fashion, which takes terrible and gross advantage no-name designers, underage children who model, has a systemic problem with sexual assault/rape, underpayment to non-payment of models…
Ah, I can see what you mean. I just was stunned at how good she looks in his outfit. And am wondering if he put his foot down and made the final decision in how he would dress her. As her usual tastes are nothing like what he achieved with her looking so good in his clothes.
