Even within the black community, there’s discrimination against dark-skinned women; imagine what it’s like in lily-white Hollywood. It’s probably not even always conscious, especially in the case of white male casting agents and directors: They just cast those they’re personally attracted to, Women like Zoe Saldana

You know, I bring up the huge inequity regarding women in comedy vs. men and what I am met with is “But, but.....what about so and so. She’s a woman and she sucks!”.

I can’t star you for some reason, but I’ll cosign the fuck outta this. “She’s a white cis woman’s ‘feminist.’” is People’s Front of Judea level obnoxious.

How have we gotten to the point where every celebrity has to say precisely the correct thing regarding every social ill? She’s funny and seemingly desires to be a good person. Is that not enough?

One of the biggest and most valid issues that people have with progressive liberalism in 2016 is there is absolutely no fucking margin of error ever. Ever. If you say one thing that can be construed as offensive (by people who spend all of their time parsing through each word and inflection of everything everyone says

She could. Also it would be cool if she didn’t have to be the perfect champion of everything progressive because she’s one of a small handful of women making it in comedy.

For a woman in comedy to be noticed she has to be exceptional. For a man? Dane Cook and Daniel Tosh would like a word with you.

I’m black from Côte d’Ivoire. Living in France now after my family fled the civil war in my home country. What bothers me and most black folk i know and grew up with is that Black Americans often seem to be not aware of the fact that their view of “what and who is black/blackness” is completly americentric. Same goes

because looking like is the same thing as acting!

Whatever nonsense Zoe might have said in the past, I get very uncomfortable with the idea of telling a black woman that she’s “not black enough” to play a black woman.

Some Puerto Ricans and Dominicans are Black.

I had a sexual assault incident when I was a teenager. I was on vacation with my family in Florida. I walked on a beach at night eating a candy bar. I was 15 looking for a party I was invited to earlier that day while sitting on the beach. No one was on the beach except a man was sitting at the edge of the water. He

LOOK AT THOSE EYELASHES THOUGH

Venus and Serena Williams might be the greatest American success story we’ve seen unfold in popular culture in the last 30 years. They are, in every way, the so-called American Dream.

There was no twitter then... but black folk knew what happened there and never forgot, either. Those fucking people... and it wasn’t just there. It was (is) all over with americans rooting for any foreign white lady against one of the sisters, or both of the sisters when they play double. They get more love out of

“He sent the message at 6:25 p.m., then told his mother he was leaving the house to visit a friend and not to expect him home for dinner. He made a short drive to a remote corner of the Fairhaven Kmart parking lot. At 6:28 p.m., he called Carter and talked to her for 43 minutes. At 7:12, she called him. The call

From Sam Bee herself: “I don’t want to do a show four nights a week. Kill me. Oh my God. No thank you,” says the mother of three (her oldest is 10). “If there’s one thing that I do know myself, it’s better for me to build something from nothing than to take over something from someone else who is so lauded. This is a

This is exactly the problem with the pro-choice movement. They think that because they are right, which they are, that they don’t need to sink to the level of the other side. But they do! Sam Bee is right, they need to be fighting fire with fire, and yes, that means probably at this moment less women will be getting

Now playing

It looks like they basically post the entire show on YouTube, which is wonderful. So if anyone missed last night’s episode, here is her segment on the midterm elections:

I love that woman. That is a woman who is fucking pumped.
