Nah, I love Hip Hop, but this? Please. Rappers need to enunciate their words and articulate a point. This mess is muddled as $#&@. Maybe dudes get distracted by the vid and ignore the actual music, but I’m not a dude.

I'm going to show it to my husband without an intro.  May need to pick up smelling salts on the way home.  

Damn, explains why she refers to her mother in such a reckless way.  Sad...

Got part way thru the first vid & had to stop. I will begin again when I am safely home and have some brown liquor in hand.

Damn, our Netflix account is ancient and their algorithm obviously hasn’t figured me out. I think I mostly watch SciFi & Horror movies. A mix of TV shows... Honestly, the digital posters I’ve seen match the mass market stuff used for the major releases.

Lol, this shit is why some celebrities want everyone in their lives to sign NDAs!

Look, this shit starts young. A friend of mine was nanny to a White family. The first couple of weeks she kind of had an issue getting the kids to wash/sanitize their hands (like 8 & 4 yrs olds) but they complied. Then one day the kids were playing ball outside before lunch & when she called them in & told them to…

No, I’m just old and crotchety and was lucky enough to grow up around Black folks who didn’t call each other slurs. That shit didn’t get popular until I was mostly grown and old enough to know better.

Look, folks can feel how they feel, but I don’t want nobody calling me any kind of “n” word. I don’t let it slide from anyone I don’t love/respect and I go in on fools that don’t tread lightly.

My hubs and I watch Fresh Off The Boat because, it is somewhat relatable for him.  He and his family emigrated in the 70s- Chinese by way of Laos. Not only are there few Asian immigrant stories, there is little understanding why so many have come here. It wasn’t all about seeing the US as the “land of opportunity”.

Eh, I would have eaten the cookies in HS, because unless I bit down on a bone shard - I wouldn’t have believed it. Also, baking is a science, did she compensate for messing up her wet/dry ratio? If she didn’t, then no one would have eaten the dry, crumbly ass cookies that resulted.. 

I agree that there is implicit coercion or abuse of power within some of the relationships you detailed. Not all. I accept your viewpoint, I simply disagree.

This was bugging me last night & it is a build up of months. Please bear with me.

The person to whom she reported.  Just like not everyone reports to the CEO of the company.  Her original position was within the Office of the Chief of Staff.

I’m not being disingenuous. Clinton wasn’t her boss. But I understand now, it was an abuse of power because of what she could have potentially worried would happen - though it didn’t & no threats were made.

A prison guard has significant material power over an inmate. What, exactly, was the risk to the unpaid intern in this scenario?

Part of the problem with discussions like these is we leave out reality. Rarely are sexual or romantic relationships established with complete equality between the parties involved. Yet, we do not & we cannot hold the more powerful entity responsible for what the less powerful entity freely decides to do. Ms Lewinsky…

Truth- I am less offended by what JW originally did than I am by the apology.

Because 3 years ain't shit.

He shouldn’t be celebrated as a Big Woke Ally or a lefty journalist because that shit isn’t real! If women want to put out there that “hey, this is how this dude treats relationship partners” - so that some women keep their distance, fine.
