Mrs. Butterworth is also offensive because the bottle is literally in the shape of the “mammy” stereotype. That said, I grew up on Aunt Jemima (though I haven’t used it in a long time and won’t now) so I can only eat crap fake syrup and will have to find a non-racist equally awful for you brand.

I should have included the second verse as it’s even more apt, “standing on our two feet, and giving ‘em hell!”

“Sisters are doin it for themselves!”

Thanks for this, just sent thanks emails to both!

To my fellow white women, can we just fucking not? And no, that Ed Sheeran example is not equitable in the slightest.

So if “snatch a knot” means give someone a smack and he’s specifically point to her ass as the location for the knot to be snatched*, he’s calling for her to be spanked correct?

And now I’m wondering if I’m the friend you’re talking about...

I...just...wow...what?!

“We’re seeing so many shows that are so specific that people find themselves and see themselves in, and there’s an authenticity there that can’t be replicated.”

I agree, but I argue even that falls under the singular motivation of Trump = Winner, everyone else = loser. He’s even said part of his motivation for running was because Obama made fun of him at the WHCD.

Totally agree with your point about privilege! When I watch it and the white people do their casual racism as only white people can, and it’s executed as you say in a subtle, throwaway way, I think it actually helps underscore how this behavior is the rule in society and not the exception. And then I file it away…

I don’t even think it’s about taxes for Trump specifically, because he doesn’t understand the bill or healthcare policy at even the most base level. I think for him, it really boils down to being a winner over losers and nothing else.

Exactly! Which is also why I never want to hear another argument about how there isn’t a big enough market for black women lead projects. As you so astutely put it, a good show is a good show.

In the People article, a source from a cafe in the upstate town where Jr. weekends makes a point of saying he never has his hair slicked back. That coupled with the story about Jr. getting slapped by dad for wanting to wear a baseball jersey instead of a suit to, ya know, a baseball game, says a lot about their…

Just coming here to say I LOVE this show and am really excited about the promise of more sex in season 2.

Too true.

I wish to subscribe to your newsletter.

Oh I’m sure that’s on the chopping block, gotta make it easy for Dad’s favorite sex object to shill her crappy knockoffs after all. Though, I haven’t heard anything specific, and part of my job involves working directly with factories including bringing new factories on board to our supplier matrix.

Welcome, it’s rare I get to flex my industry knowledge in a non-professional setting.

That is a bullshit excuse. Most U.S. retailers require their vendors (in this case Ivanka) to provide documentation that factories contracted by said vendors meet certain ethical and quality standards and will not accept receipt of finished goods without this documentation. Often times, this documentation requires a…
