As someone who grew up in evangelical culture, I am unsurprised that the lone black woman is styled to look EXACTLY like those white women. That’s the survival trick. The only way to achieve provisional acceptance is to seem exactly the same but tanner. All will be revealed if she starts to bristle at being the BBF, th…

I decided it was time to go back to having dark hair about 2 months ago. Now I know beyond a doubt it was a great decision. 

One of my biggest pet peeves was the totally shitty job they did of highlighting to Carlton that the reason people don’t like him isn’t his bisexuality. He acts like a gaslighting asshole who uses that as a cover against criticism. There are some other dynamics involved in his portrayal and the cow towing that Diamond…

Thank you for the reply. I have not yet made it to this episode but, believe the larger points of the interview are worth honest examination regardless of whether these two designers in particular should or should not have been eliminated. Sometimes it’s easy dismiss the larger point being made when one disagrees…

But, is the rest of the conversation about streetwear vs. luxury streetwear, theft vs. inspiration and who gets to be considered a great designer null and void based on whether or not you liked their designs?

I think Monique and possibly Karen (depending on which house she claims), is the only one who lives in Potomac or actually has any net worth to speak of. If she’s no longer on the show and their is no appropriate replacement, they basically need to change the name.

My 7 year old was floored when I told her about Queen rapping. So funny. Oh, and she wants Disney to get on a Descendants movie featuring Queen Latifah’s Ursala and China Mcclain’s Uma.

Thank you for the clarification. What I think we all need to acknowledge as well is that "property values" is an argument because historical, institutional, financial racism and redlining. Those things don't change by everyone just continuing as always. It's probably also time to dissect what is considered "the best"…

Do you think that was the case in most predominately black communities during the busing era? Do you think the main reason white parents and students picketed, physically assaulted and spit on black students being bused into their schools was because they were afraid of being exposed to the trauma those students…

Thanks for recommending that podcast. I have already listened to 3 episodes.

Some of the reactions make me wonder if people are more freaked out by an old rich black lady having the nerve to appear to display the same expectation of privilege and consideration as a regular white lady or the treatment some people receive from the TSA.

There is not a blue hair dye, outfit, or hairstyle that magically dismisses privilege. The fact that you think that’s a thing.

Thank you for this. I did not know that I should use the denture tabs I bought for my night gaurd on mine and my daughter’s thermos products. The more you know!

I’m also waiting for some dialogue on the fact that many non-black women tend to believe this sort of illogical mess when they become involved with a black man who has previosly mistreated a (or many) WOC who are lower on the American social racial hierarchy. Hell, I’ve seen lighter skinned and black and biracial women…

But, see you (gay person) are not a mistake. What you have chosen to do with your life as God’s creation is where the sin lies. The world is fallen and so are you gay person.

Maybe I watched too many soaps growing up but all I can think is he secretly thought it was his baby.

I didn’t know she is popular with tweens. My daughter was at the height of her Jojo love at about 5 yrs old. She is now 6 and even though my child’s personal style veers into love of reversible sequins, unicorns and occasional bows, she doesn’t request Jojo merch anymore.

Uh oh. Is my 6 yr old a psychopath? Just kidding. All 6 yr olds are psychopaths.
