Pay attention.

Similar situation. My mother didn’t do anything but corporal punishment. I could get smacked for thinking the wrong thing.

Love. Been without both before. Actually spent most of my life without much of either. Personally, love can keep me going when I’m broke. Money can’t keep me going in the absence of a truly intimate and satisfying relationship.

I’m sorry, but Black girls and women get told every day that their pain does not matter if it occurs at the hands of Black boys and men. We are supposed to suck it up to protect our families and our communities. Black girls and women are held to impossible levels of responsibility for everything they do and everything…

Yeah, I think minority families snitch way less than White folks do. We don’t want our dirty laundry public. We don’t want Whites looking down their noses at us. We don’t want to hand our loved ones over to CPS or police departments.

That’s the whole point! Why would he have taken the risk! He was the one that actually recognized that I said and did things after taking my meds that he couldn’t take seriously. He told me it wasn’t “me”! Why would he think a conversation wasn’t ok, but sex was?

We need to have this conversation, but this was badly done. I don’t give a fuck about Nicki Minaj. If anything, she is younger than me and a product of her environment - a fucked up collective mentality that values Black men & boys over Black women & girls AND holds women/girls responsible for holding the illusion of…

It makes sense, but you are being far too narrow in your thinking. The point is- how do you know the drunk partner wants it? How much are you willing to risk?

I’ve been the victim in a situation similar to this case. One of my “loved ones” gets arrested for the rape of a child - he is safer in the horrible place that prison is than on the streets with me.

People have a right to bail, but they don’t have a right to money in someone else’s wallet. I’m not bailing anyone out for a violent crime like that unless I personally believe that person is absolutely 100% innocent.

FYI- he makes sense to me, but you don’t.

I love Pink. I love her realness even more than her music. I don’t believe that there is any internalized misogyny in her game.. Honestly, the idea that Kim K is a better feminist than Pink is ludicrous.

I liked the first commercial, but the rest were stupid. Eh, what do I know though? I’m not feeling particularly ladylike, recovering from an open myomectomy and trying to fart the gas pains away...

If he was my brother and I didn’t have proof he was innocent- I would set that piece of trash on fire.

Didn’t see it. Wouldn’t have read it if I did. As a woman, as a child abuse survivor and as a survivor of sexual assault as an adult - I do not trust people. I don’t care what their identity or genitalia is.

We can hope. Shit, I’m not that hot & I’ve dated more flavors than I saw in that teaser.

None of the dudes I see Nola interact with in the trailer appears to be definitively nom-black to me. One dude looks mixed.

I don’t know.

I do believe that genocide is coded in our DNA. I’m not joking. At any point in time in history it seems that there has always been some group attempting to exterminate another.

Just wondering why, if Nola is pansexual, all of the relationships being highlighted are so heteronormative. Also wondering if Ms. Nola is going to go outside the color lines.
