Actually, the lesson here, as we have seen time and time again, is that Black people never commercialise their own culture or heighten their own culture into a financially profitable pinnacle art, but cry foul when white people do it.

Yeah, she’s...not bright. And that has nothing to do with her education level. She doesn’t know the actual definition of the thing she doesn’t want to be called and is being lauded for being, for some strange reason. Not cool.
wait. so Jez is only cool when some people don’t like using the word ‘feminist’? Cardi B is spouting off nonsense and she needs to get educated because she sounds lazy. No, people don’t think that “being a feminist is a bitch that, like, went to school. They wear skirts all the way to their m!therf!cking ankles like…
uh, what about the part where she doesn’t want to be called the thing that you’re lauding her for defining
see, I had this situation too and no one will like my solution. I cut all my expenses to the bare minimum, saved up some scratch, and moved.
However bad your financial situation is, one thing is guaranteed.
Thank you for holding down a job. I dealt with so many people who didn’t as a foster parent I got a bit jaded. But now for some hard truth:
Kanye spiraled into an ugly, now deleted rant trying to shame Wiz Khalifa for his relationship with Amber Rose, who he also dated for about two years.
I’m paying double that for a walk-up apartment without a dishwasher, doorman, laundry, etc. and frankly, to pay $1,082 for a two-bedroom on the UWS is a major luxury in itself. No dishwasher, boo hoo! I would walk through a sewer, never mind a “poor door,” for that price.
It is sad how dumb some of these responses to your comment are. It’s crazy, you’d never get an British/Scottish/Irish descended American being like, “Yeah, I love the European culture of my ancestors, yay lederhosen!” Maybe because I’m first gen (Caribbean), unlike most African Americans. I don’t need to guess or make…
I get you. I feel this way about Latinos born and raised in America sometimes. A lot of them borrow what they want from wherever they want without being sincere or authentic, or understanding where things come from. You have Salvadorians in America cooking shitty “Mexican food”, for instance. And it’s all cooked wrong…
I have been wondering about this ever since Willow Smith started doing “tribal” makeup earlier this year in videos etc. She’s like 13 for crissakes so I don’t feel critical of her for deciding something would look cool and not really thinking more about it . . . but there didn’t appear to be any thought or research…
Eh, the relationship between Ireland and Irish-Americans is more complicated. Ireland works to maintain and make use of their diaspora. But Irish-Americans came to this country willingly (although likely in desperation), had the agency to maintain cultural ties and an insular community, and represent a single nation,…
but I do wish that a black woman had the chance to cover this subject because she might have offered something a bit deeper than: Oh shit, this looks cool!
« So go ahead and give these tutorials a watch! You’ll love these unique takes on traditional African beauty that span from West Africa to Niger. »
I’m sure Niger will be glad to know that it’s no longer part of West Africa
WON’T ANYONE THINK ABOUT THE WHITE PEOPLE?!
Goodness, I wonder what little white girls will do when Kylie “invents” afros?
The government should get rid of income tax completely and move to a completely sales Tax system. In order to make sure it is not a regressive tax, they will need to exempt food, clothing (under $200), transportation, baby products, health care, and health & beauty aid.
This will have so many benefits to society:

Go to a vet's office, there probably wouldn't be many people there to fight off, (depending on the zombie species, animals may or may not be safe from them) not like a hospital, then you can just break into the most locked cabinet in the building and voila! Pink juice!
No you are not. Shut up. When we have had these things for centuries you white people tortured and insulted us, mocked us for having these things.
