white women are just beside themselves with this #metoo movement and the power it gives them! Listened to an NPR interview with with one of the “Cosby sister survivors” who claimed that they essentially birthed the #metoo movement because even though it was happening it was not public. They really want to erase …

Not true about Black frats. Black frats and sororities have shared a brother sister relationship since their founding. Many of the founders became husband and wife. They were to busy mutually fighting racism, doing community service and organizing/sustaining graduate chapters and their social/political activities to…

Amen! You said THAT!

LOVE THIS!

OMG! The word is CAST not casted. There is no such usage. Thank you!

I think it’s just an unfortunate coincidence that they captured a shot that looks like classic images that we’ve seen and know (consciously or unconsciously) to be depictions of servants tending to their mistresses’ hair. That’s why we’re uncomfortable to begin with. Then, knowing that it appears in a white magazine…

Penalized for not having a flat butt and/or chest!

Excellent observation!

Something still doesn’t feel right about this. I need to see other photos or hear from witnesses.

This is what happens when Black folks become so assimilated that they loose all sense of good home training and common sense. Having been to many a sorority function where prominent Black people were in attendance none of the comments made by celebrities, authors, politicians, etc. were reported on. This woman was not…

The iconic Susan Taylor photo.......need I say more?

I stopped subbing to NYT alerts awhile ago when they published an editorial by some white woman describing Shonda Rhimes as just another angry Black woman. The NYT continues to show us who they are and I don’t mess with anymore because of it.

Interesting. I was just beginning to feel that most of these “Black” platforms and pundits get their checks from non-Black sources. No wonder certain topics are ignored or covered adnausem by same said platforms/pundits. “News” produced by the highest bidder. More important than ever to do your own research because…

Mo has been in the business a long time (way before the social media/#era/let’s be good white liberals trending era). As a Black woman of a certain age I can guarantee that the world/allys were not checking for us. I tend to believe that she was nice early on and maybe did get help. But perhaps after having spent so…

Good for Octavia getting paid! THIS IS EXACTLY what MO’NIQUE was TALKING ABOUT- PAY INEQUITY based on RACE & gender.

In support of Mo’Nique: Emmy nominated performance for her role in the HBO film Bessie, was the star of a tv comedy series The Parkers, had her own tv talk show on which she featured Black performers who weren’t invited to sit on other couches, best selling author, etc. This woman has paid dues and then some and knows…

Wanda Sykes said she was lowballed too- she just chose not to make a stink about it. (Maybe her white woman convinced her to be quiet). Black women always speak up when wronged and are either punished for it or ignored. Mo has a long and varied resume - I remember her books, tv shows and talk show. She had Black…

Black women have to stand at the intersection of race AND gender and that is one difficult place. I once worked at a pro-feminist not for profit run by white women only to find out that the same manager had tried to low- ball me and the other Black woman in administration. I cancelled Netflix today!

I appreciate that O put Ms. Taylor in their faces. She used her platform to educate and elighten. And I especially appreciate that she did not refer to herself as a “woman of color” but as a BLACK woman!
