This is a challenge. I’m telling you to read the entire passage. He blames the Brits for importing slaves and adds the caveat that he’s not justifying Americans falling into temptation.

That is a man that is aware of a serious problem that is currently running rampant in his society. That is not a man saying, “Yo,…

I only named two problematic lyrics. I can go on.

- Eat the cake, Anna Mae

Context is everything.

Wait, hold on...

We’re supposed to judge someone that lived during the Revolution on their sexism?

He lived in an era when a woman was the property of her father and then passed off to a husband, but we’re supposed to judge him as sexist.

1 - Were you really expecting anything else from Ralph Lauren?

Social justice activist.

A woman that is calling out other women as “Becky with the good hair” and then allowing her fans to bully a suspected Becky is not a social justice activist. They’re a performer that is making millions off of some feminist leanings.

Bow down, Bitches.

I don’t know where you’ve been all my life, but that’s exactly it. I don’t know why those words never came to me before. Every time we talk about race... my mind is saying, “But wait, we’re all women.”

Speaking my mind about something that I found shameful isn’t going to influence Beyonce or the anybody else at the table. And to be honest, I’m not even focused on the Lemonade stand. For me, it’s about an artist that’s promoting feminism in a way that makes me roll back the music a few times and yell, “wut?!?”

I heard…

I agree with Janet being Diana’s successor, and I just never understood why everybody lost their damn minds over a nipple. I wish Janet hadn’t apologized and just said, “An accident happened on live TV.” and left it at that. I think her apologies and answering questions about it years later... that didn’t do her any…

Yes, a white woman’s dream of saying what you really think about Beyonce. Because any time I say that I’m not feeling some shit she’s done, someone has to make it about my whiteness. Or her blackness. Whatever.

Still not feeling it.

I owned Control and Rhythm Nation, and every song on those two albums was everything. I can’t stand to get an album and find one good song on it. I just think Janet’s B-sides had 100x more depth than all this I Slay mess.

I don’t know if I should thank you for calling all out this comparison to Janet or be mad now.

Not…

ilu

But now that you called out the comparison to Janet, I will never be able to unsee it. My mind is now playing tricks on me and making comparisons between the Superbowl performance to Janet’s Rhythm Nation video.

But yeah, I agree with the vision thing, because every new album sounds more Jay-Z than Beyonce to me.…

You and greenmelinda have made a white woman’s dreams come true with these posts. You just don’t know what sort of magic that was for me. I am so damn tired of women losing their minds over everything Beyonce.

I mean, people are acting like Diana Ross, Tina Turner, Donna Summer, Whitney Houston, shit... even TLC...…

Look, I get it. You’re a fan. This whole angelic theme marks you as a super fan or something close to obsessed... I’m not sure which right now. I’m still trying to wrap my head around all of these holy metaphors being applied to a self proclaimed bad girl.

It’s worse than that imo. Much worse. She’s a piece of shit. Let’s not tap dance around it (or maybe we should?). Between killing people while texting and supporting Trump , she needs to just go away. I’m sick of the media trying to hold her up and pat her on the back for transitioning.

The moral of this rant:…

I have been holding out hope that a gross vagina story will pop up and life will return to normal.

I guess I will have to sift through another million ridiculous Kardashian themed fluff pieces, women bashing women for no reason, fangirl screaming for Rhianna / Beyonce, and a multitude of other things that really…

As a regular reader of Jezebel, I’m a little flustered by all of today’s posts being unfamiliar writers, but I can tell you that my absolute favorite writer is/was Mark Shrayber. I haven’t seen a post from him in awhile.

But, yanno, thanks for the sexism.

No, Misty was not the first. If you watch her documentary (it was a hard watch, to slow of a pace imo) she hangs out with a black ballerina that was performing in the 50s. Misty Copelands’ accomplishment is that she is the first black ballerina to perform a major role in one of the biggest worldwide companies.

The 80s child within me wants to get out my curling iron and aerosol hair spray now and see if I can get that big old 80s puff going in honor of this kick ass lady.
