Where is the connection to race? Hell, you seem to be saying that it’s racist because they’re focusing on a trait that has no racial differences. Can you, or anyone, tell me how an argument over the testosterone levels of women of all races has anything to do with being black? I’d also like to see sources for how…

Tie what up in court? She outed herself for some reason. She apparently knew her material; but lied to get the job.

She could take a daily contraceptive pill, a monthly hormone blocking injection, or surgery.  These are not as you state Unproven... interventions”.  She chooses not to do so because she knows full well that physically she is closer to man than woman, regardless of her identity, and it gives her a “natural” advantage.

OK. So if gender = whatever I identify as regardless of obvious physical differences then male athletes the world over should identify as women and take over women’s sports wholesale. You all pray at the altar of Serena Williams, but the honest to God truth is she could barely compete in the male amateurs. I mean…

So I guess all those kids who got consolation trophies have finally grown up eh? If you have to include diversity quotas you’re no longer judging by artistic merit, peak privilege, yeah whatever. It’s still true. And if I actually gave a shit about the Oscars it would irritate me.

For real. Pretty sure Green Book would still qualify.

So, a movie like Parasite could never be nominated again?

“Like, you guys knew what to do with Daisy Ridley, you knew what to do with Adam Driver,”

What does he mean, because I’m trying to parse if he means political diversity, racial diversity, or Tupac v. Biggie versity?

How long is she supposed to be on the cross for this though? I could see if this was a white actress in blackface but come on. She deserved some heat, absolutely, but at some point, can we try and prioritize people’s offenses somewhat? This level of outrage from folks, especially considering the lack of outrage…

Michaela Coel?

Colorism is the correct word. It is not a charge you, as a white person, have the placement to level, however certain you are in your reading. You would be completely out of place in doing so, and would deserve any dragging you receive. It’s a family matter.

Ok, so since you were crafty and didn’t post your ...…

Well, I would say you are better-served in these sorts of conversations by presenting more questions than takes, but we all walk our own path.

To your questions. Here’s where you are struggling (I’m giving you the benefit of the doubt that it is a genuine, if baffling, one): the women weren’t being called out.
I want…

Well, you’re asking a LOT of a tweet, but you’re correct in that her statement isn’t backed by any rigorous research, she’s simply pointing out the pattern. I’m sure an exhaustive review of these rappers’ relationships and even expanding to a better sampling of rappers would yield a more complex picture.

...

I’m happy to continue for as long as you have questions.

You are, in two ways: first, don’t be concerned, you have plenty of other ways you can be an ally if that’s your goal than worrying about an internal discussion about colorism. Second, you are still willfully misrepresenting what she stated. She pointed out that all of the women were light-skinned, which supports that…

I’ll turn your question back on you.

Is it colorism to point out colorism? Here’s a hint: is it racism to point out racism?

What you are missing is that she didn’t criticize his choice of wife. She just pointed out the pattern of all of these wives being light. It’s not a flaw on the women’s part, nor a question of their blackness. What is being pointed out is the pattern of preference on the part of the rappers.
Let me also point out that…

Black people didn’t create the dichotomy, it’s just another cultural symptom of the disease of racism. Light-skinned blacks got better and preferential treatment historically and the threads of that exist today because beauty norms still favor light-skin over dark skin. But it goes beyond beauty into every facet of…
