May I quote myself?

Only idiots can’t figure it out. All of these people have way better costumes and no hint of Blackface. Imagine that!

“At the end of the day, he built a self sustaining media empire.”

“...continuing his agenda of making black women look bad in all his films.”

At the end of the day, he built a self sustaining media empire. And he did it in Atlanta where everyone said it could not be done. And no one has really been able to replicate here. beat the devil, but give him his due

Like, the whole “Americans are suffering at home” argument would be valid, if these people gave a goddamn shit about that at all. Instead they try to take away healthcare, incarcerate and kill nonwhite people, suppress wages, make it illegal to be a woman or trans person and get adequate healthcare, among a laundry…

I think a lot of them also do it because it pisses off “the blacks”/”the libs”/”SJWs”, and they think there is enough plausible deniability for them to still be accepted in society when they get exposed to the wider public, and they say stuff like “that’s not who I am”/”God knows my heart”/”I have many black friends”…

People absolutely should be able to do whatever they want with their hair. The trouble is, white people don’t leave well enough alone. They decided to legislate against hair like mine. They decided that it was unkempt and unprofessional. They decided that dress codes don’t allow for afros and cornrows.  

My first thought when I saw that pic of Kendall was

No, not even that. Her family didn’t style this shoot, and while they are guilty of plenty of appropriation, as a person with two decades experience in front of and behind the lens, to my eye, this was just styling the hair to make the clothes more evocative, which is common and really what this editorial was about.…

When I saw this controversy I knew immediately that the people arguing appropriation were young people who were ignorant of (fashion) history.

Of course she cried. Whenever white women are pushed to acknowledge their own racism, immorality, or (passive or active) support of white supremacy they use tears as a way of persuading other white folks to come to their defense and preserve white women-hood.

...she had defended the idea of changing one’s skin color for the sake of a costume...

I am soooooooo tired of this teachable moment sh*t. I’m sure she went to some good schools so miss me with this need for extra “teaching.” She knew, she is beyond problematic and her trying to segueway into being seen as non-racist isn’t working. I wasn’t here for her when she was using dog-whistle everything on Fox…

This is Alla Nazimova. Often billed as just Nazimova, she was one of the great stars of the first half of the 20th century and always, prominently, a fascinating style icon. This picture was taken 98 years ago (or maybe last week?)

“I asked some more questions about why she took so long to give me the information ... She said I was being argumentative and that she didn’t like my tone,” Gonźalez said,

I am only in my 20's and I have seen a white person walk around in Philadelphia in full on blackface on halloween when I was in college. It is a favorite of white people who reject “pc culture” and have made being offensive their personal brand.

I was just at the Motown Museum today, marveling at all the iconic looks from the Supremes, especially Ms. Ross. If you need blackface to convey to someone who you are going as then you have a shitty costume.

It is baffling that whenever white people like Megyn Kelly engage with race they always choose the lowest gutter viewpoint possible. Why can’t they say the n-word? Why can’t they dress in blackface?

“I’ve never been a PC kind of person.”
