Expecting someone to be “pious and perfect” and expecting them not to RAPE CHILDREN is pretty different.

My adult mind is blown.

YAAAAAS! Giving Him Something He Can Feel is my jam. That’s the quintessential shower singing tune and I have clear memories of my sisters and I wrapping red towels around us and singing/acting out the video.

I remember listening to never ever in th car and my dad pointing out that the chords were the same as amazing grace. My childhood mind was BLOWN.

If, as Johnson says, we shouldn’t judge a performance on physical likeness, then why couldn’t Saldana have embodied Nina Simone without the cartoonish makeup?

They’re just ordinary people.

This is my face whenever I have to deal with sexism in the workplace

As a Latina also supporting Hillary: expect nothing but contempt from white commenters here. They know what’s better for us and they are baffled that we dare to think for themselves and have reasons to vote for Hillary. How can we? They know what is better and they don't agree. We must be ignorant!

I’m black and voting for Hillary. #SorrynotSorry. I don’t find this condescending at all. Why don’t you get in government IS the right answer. I’m so tired of all these whiny people running around complaining all the politicians are in someone’s pocket or are “UNAUTHENTIC” . GO BE A POLITICIAN Then. That’s an…

Watch What Happened, Miss Simone?, because a documentary is almost always better than a biopic—and this documentary is sensational.

“miss esther jones, the real ‘betty boop’ (she was known by her stage name, ‘baby esther’), was a singer and entertainer in the late 1920s. she performed regularly at the the cotton club in harlem. miss jones’ ‘baby’ singing style was used for a recording of ‘i wanna be loved by you’. her singing style went on to…

3/5th alive

This story pops up every now and again.. I first heard about baby Ester back in the 70's from an old aunt.. what goes around... we need a museum of appropriation. That shit would be golden just to record the faces of white people as the realize (late, lol) that it’s all appropriation. All of it.

You’re fired too!

You know, those spicy Latinas! You can’t leave them around your husband unless you want her to seduce him with her voodoo hips and flaming tamale lips.

Ok obviously sexting the boss was entirely inappropriate, but calling your husband a LEGEND because he recorded the firing of her? And then listening to it with all of your girlfriends? That’s kind of just immature and cruel and unnecessary, grow up, you fired her and ended the situation, the humiliation isn't really…

I’d fire her- there’s just no excuse for that degree of technological incompetence.

That’s what sickens me. It’s bad enough when this kind of thing happens at a general community rally/speaking event. But at a school? These students are supposed to be learning how to best serve their communities and participate in the political process, and all they learned tonight is how to endure racism, which…

I hate that they had to feel the indignity of being singled out because of their skin color. I hate they will have to have that memory of anger for being treated as less than. I hate that the only thing I can offer are my condolences and my own story of being treated differently because of the color of my skin. I hate…

I don’t even know how to comment on this this sucks so bad.
