Um, every married atheist I know (including the one I used to be) is legally married, just like the religious married people I know. Marriage is only religious if you want it to be. It's a legal state of being that confers certain rights and responsibilities on the participants.

Can you tell me what "racist" thing she has said? I remember there was a rumor years ago that she said "I'd rather see a Black baby die than have white people buy my albums" that was disproved. Anything other than that?

Haha - love how I look like an idiot saying I'm surprised no one else has answered, lol. I couldn't see any responses, Jezebel!

I'm surprised no one has answered you yet. Your questions are certainly many-layered, lol.

Well damn. Clearly, you were on a Whole Nother Level than I was when I had a perm, lol. Most of my friends with perms almost never wore/wear weaves (I do have one odd friend who is weave dependent), and I don't know any women who spend that kind of money on their hair. Wow.

I've been natural for over 15 years now, and I have to say that when I talk about it with other naturalistas, the cost is one of the last things to come up. What comes up over and over again is being comfortable with oneself and no longer conforming to a European standard of beauty to make others more comfortable…

im proving to you that these character traits of dark skin, frizzy hair big butts existed and were desired by europeans prior to them even realizing black people were in africa

It is obviously quite important to you to add layers of meaning to my words, while missing the layers that are actually there. It's really weird how you are answering points that I never made - women wanting to do squats in the gym? Men liking tits and ass? I have proffered no "ideas" about those things. *shrugs*

Of course men can be feminists. Nothing wrong with that.

Sorry. I hate these bastards even harder for you.

Um...that's not what I said, nor what I meant. I AM actually a woman of color whose opinions are routinely criticized and discounted on this site when I speak uncomfortable truths. Sheesh, I wasn't saying anything half as bad as you think I was.

I agree with everything you are saying here, but I think the harshness (for lack of a better word) here is misplaced. I read this as being generally inclusive, and to be about "hate", little h, as she said. And trust me, I'm usually the one to point out the kinds of things you did in your comment. For which I…

Putting your naked dick in someone's face, in public, who is a stranger who did not ask for this attention can certainly be called harassment.

I really must be more clear when I write my opinion on the internet for a bunch of strangers to read. Obviously, (and no matter how many times or ways I explain what I meant) people are really wedded to the idea that I somehow said that ONLY Black women can have full lips or big butts, and that ALL Black women have…

Well, you know it's not harassment or offensive or scary or gross if no one presses charges. Cuz that's how that works.

Hell. Yes.

I've never seen the show, but everyone is always talking about it. What's the relationship dynamic??? I'm dying to know! (I will get around to this show on Netflix or whatever eventually...)

Yeah, that's exactly what I said. Verbatim. Yup.

Yes, that's what I said. Verbatim. Yup.

Sadly, they are not all that rare. This one was just more blatant and forthright than is usual.
