There is definitely some of this that is downright vile like the jokes.

ALL of this. Her immediate family is all gone- dying within weeks of one another. Her father died years ago. I’ve had deaths more distant which utterly destabilized me yet she’s kept on giving us self-loving, empowered energy while acknowledging how bereft she feels. We’ve collectively been giving Kanye West passes…

I think it’s very important to acknowledge humor as an important coping and processing mechanism, but let’s not pretend that all jokes are equivalent or all claims to humor are legitimate.

Also some people (mostly men) seem to be finding shaudenfruede in this because she is a confident, sex-positive women. I’ve seen comments tying her getting shot to her love for twerking (???).

Speak for yourself.

THIS really pisses me off. I live in New York but have many close friends who live in LA and covid is raging out of control there. I know several people who have lost family members. It’s scary and very real. These empty, foolish “celebrities” are problematic.

You’ve already called it. Colorism. I’m just glad Jill received support because as quiet as it’s kept, mainstream Black publications didn’t really start speaking of Jill’s sexiness & beauty till her hair got permed/straightened and she lost some weight. Megan may identify as a redbone, but she’s not what I’d readily…

Are you looking for an excuse to clown an innocent Black woman?

Nice timing, they tried to offset this news coming out with sexual abuse and tried to use it as camouflage with the team name, yeah, you deserve this and needs to be sued and destroyed, fuck Washington.

They need to get alllllll their names. Who the fuck was the detective that said she couldn’t see her MINOR child that night?! Bullshit. 

Man, the whole “I smell marijuana” thing is just as bad as the whole “stop resisting” thing that they say right before they beat the shit out of a black man so they can look to bystanders who might not be seeing everything and who may, in court, say they thought he was resisting or they thought there may be…

To me, getting the mask because it “looked cool” is worse because it just showcases your ignorance and complete lack of awareness. It’s an excuse that someone can use in high school or maybe even college. Harden is all of 30 years old, which is officially old enough to know better. I haven’t thought much of Harden…

Fear Of A Black Hat was better and funnier film but this scene kills me every damn time

Was saying elsewhere that there are probably a lot of bouncers looking for work right now. 

Every sane non-racist person calls out Trump and his followers incessantly. In the same way that we talk about Black Lives Matter and people come in with that “what about black on black crime” bullshit we can’t engage in the same whataboutism when people in our community mess up. Particularly when we’re trying to push…

Dead, LOL!

Bonus citrus fact: Many types of oranges are actually green. That includes some that are sold in european and probably north american stores, which are are treated with ethylene to make them orange, as that is what the consumer expects

The stupidest thing a commenter can do is immediately make something about class.

There are a few places in America (ye olde Colonial “living museums”) where they try to get unadulterated seeds to grow crops as they were in the pre-Revolutionary-era, and animals that haven’t been cross-bred as far as they know.
