As a fellow POC, I too am disappointed. I’m not surprised, but there is certainly a level of sadness in me right now.

I do think this is how prisons should be. The Scandinavian system may cause us to recoil when considering that some of those prisoners probably live in conditions better than most Americans, but the fact is, most people who go through the prison system in the US will go back to prison, and most people who go through…

Jane is an unparalleled liberal bad ass, whose continuous advocacy for human rights doesn’t come with fanfare or a press junket. She does this shit because she wants to.

I think you’re confusing the issue. No one cares that Zoe(or Polanco) are afro-latino cuz, she’s still black. We know that. No one has a problem with that or them claiming it and a lot would rather people stop claiming every drop of blood except their afro-roots.What she is not, however, is a dark skinned black woman…

I believe Malala Yusafsai was entirely correct when she told Obama that investing in education for girls would have been far more of an efficient method of combating terrorism than the drone program, or the support of rival fighter groups. Preventative or restorative investments in civil society and infrastructure are…

Did you have to include Aspergers?

I think a large part of why R. Kelly’s career wasn’t affected to the same magnitude as Cosby’s is the fact that his victims were black girls. Very few people care about the victimization of black women and girls. Some of Cosby’s first accusers were black, and no one cared back then. Reactions to these rapes are…

Seriously on B? He was sad so he drugged and raped a child?

So if you don’t want to get raped, don’t leave your house because there are rapists everywhere. But also, don’t be afraid of getting raped when you go out because that’s insulting to men

Okay, sorry for having complex feelings about something I already know. I’m aware but that doesn’t stop me from occasionally worrying about how people will spin this to invalidate racial violence and discrimination. I was taking comfort in confessing my initial feelings to who I’m assuming based on previous comments…

Is it okay to say that I’m still scared. That I’m still anxious about how this will all play out. I don’t know why they did this...and I feel so upset and betrayed. But you’re right, there are hundreds of other real stories and the actions of these women shouldn’t overshadow them.

Idiot children trying to “help” by any means necessary.

Read my comment. Read my comment. She is black. Being black as in blackness as is race and the actual color of your skin and features are two very different things. The issue being addressed here is colorism. I really feel like you don’t get it, my last sentences explained the issue perfectly. Are their people talking…

So you really read past most of the comments addressing this issue. Also shes’s been in Avatar, Gaurdian’s of the Galaxy, Star Trek and plenty of other movies all staring roles. So she’s doing fine. If you haven’t noticed, it’s black people ( mostly women) who see the problem and have seen this happen before. Zoe has…

Azealia Banks would like to kill Iggy Azalea?

Zoe and your friend benefit from colorism. Society views them differently from dark-skinned black women with kinky hair, big noses, or large lips. I was also bullied by other black children for being dark-skinned. I’m also seen as dirty, ghetto, and overall unattractive to members of my own race who specifically state…

The problem isn’t that she’s not black enough just read through at the very least 1/3 of the comments. she is playing the role of a woman who struggled greatly with her dark-skin and broader features. Whose featureswere significant to how she experience her life. Zoe has played black women throughout her career and…

I don’t know if your being sarcastic but that is literally not the point. Zoe is an Afro-Latina. She’s black. The problem is that she darkened her skin and wore a prosthetic. Like does everyone insist on not reading any of the comments in the last 3 articles on this mess.

Uh, did you actually watch Good Hair?

Yes, and having a black kid dance around a watermelon with a bucket of cluck in his hand is merely a joke to highlight the problems with agriculture in the South.
