I wouldn’t say you’re internalizing, but there’s a feeling of “um” when one sees white people laughing so hard at her eye contortions and bugging...Overall, I don’t want to judge her, and I have nothing personal against her (and realize they material for Actors of Color can be limited) I can only own my feelings

Yeah, I struggle with this a bit too. Like, sometimes I wonder why people are laughing. It’s been hard to be a black woman without people placing all of these negative assumptions on myself, like IMMEDIATELY. I love that she is unapologetically herself(?), and has success and visibility, but I still have misgivings

A coworker tried to justify the harassment this morning in a meeting by saying that she “shouldn’t have responded to people criticizing Ghostbusters starring women.” I was literally unable to respond because of the backup of rage and cursing that would have spewed from my mouth had I opened it.

No, no, no. It's time for her to go back to her haunted house with her cheating husband and daughter as ghosts.

It’s a chicken and egg scenario...Is she really like that? I have no idea. I can only speak to how it makes me feel when I see her in the Allstate commercials: A little sad, embarrassed for her, and pissed that in 2016 we have what feels on a visceral level to be a walking, talking pickaninny archetype.

In his email back, she alleges, he responded, “Whatever.”

I manage a branch library, and I can wear jeans! yay for comfortable clothes!

Thank god I’m a librarian. The day they enforce a ban on Easy Spirit shoes and threadbare cardigans is the day I turn in my retirement papers.

I am blaming her. You live by the sword. You die by the sword.

“Fox News masquerades as a defender of traditional family values, but behind the scenes, it operates like a sex-fueled, Playboy Mansion-like cult, steeped in intimidation, indecency and misogyny.”

I’d watch the shit out of that

That show was amazing and ridiculous. I'd only watch it if they bring back Lucy Lawless though.

I was expecting more gayness from it, personally. It’s still good, though. Much drama.

They need to make a big screen version of Spartacus, the explicit Starz version. It would make a billion kazillion dollars.

Of course, apparently people here would be defending her murder if she were someone they didn’t like and someone they liked committed it.

A cotton tank top. Colloquially known as a wife beater, mine is black. Got it from Target!

Yes.

Whether porn is systematically destroying the moral fabric of America is a conversation for a different day . . .

I don’t think I can be convinced that porn is healthy for men. Ladies, whose boyfriends/husbands are pornheads, tell me honestly and not the “sex positive, politically correct, men pleasing” version, do your partners porn habits mean great/improved sex with better, more frequent orgasms for you personally?
