Well, I would say you are better-served in these sorts of conversations by presenting more questions than takes, but we all walk our own path.

To your questions. Here’s where you are struggling (I’m giving you the benefit of the doubt that it is a genuine, if baffling, one): the women weren’t being called out.
I want…

I’ll turn your question back on you.

Is it colorism to point out colorism? Here’s a hint: is it racism to point out racism?

“Only one issue” that is systemic.

Fellow Sittenfeld devotee here. I’ve truly loved all of her output thus far. Prep is one of top 5 favorite books of all time. I’ve actually read most of American Wife twice.

What, in all honesty, was he supposed to do though? This was 15 years ago, not exactly the friendliest of times to people who spoke up against their bosses. And Tyra Banks and that show was the “BIG F’N THING OF THE MOMENT”.

She appears to be a train wreck filled with toxic energy. 

She also kept reiterating that she doesn’t want her son “to change,” which is exactly like saying she doesn’t want him to grow, which seems like a strange way to parent your adult son.

What does T.I. have to say about the effrontery of this man’s loud & proud renunciation of his marriage vows?! Where is Snoop’s call for the culture to rise up and ‘handle’ this so-called man for humiliating B. Smith by cheating and stealing this Sistuh’s money and giving it to some daughter of Germany?!?! I guess Koon…

I completely disagree. I love the original movie and I love the new Hulu series.

Just because you like black pussy doesn’t mean that you love black women.

My reading is more that if the nominees aren’t diverse, than the system is broken - so what’s the point of voting seriously? It’s a protest vote.

Like many White liberal institutions, her campaign is living the problem while trying to fight the problem. I’ll give Warren credit for squarely taking responsibility.

The unspoken part of these arguments is that it makes all men out to be assholes. If you honestly believe in the “You went to a guy’s hotel room, what did you expect?” you’re admitting that a) you think the victim is an idiot and b) all men are devious predators.

I’m confused: a big part of JLo’s job is to be incredibly hot. Her body is exceptional because she works incredibly hard to make it so—-it’s not impossible, just very hard. People do very hard things all the time when they have incentives to do so. I mean, folks are aware that she is a professional performer and…

She was at a panel at a bookseller conference yesterday, and someone asked her if she donated any of her SEVEN FIGURE DEAL towards organizations that help immigrants, and she hemmed and hawed and said could give a list but “she shouldn’t have to”

As a non-American, I had to smile at your comment because it’s such an American way of viewing the issue. Whether from the left or the right, it always comes down to money. The article and a lot of the author’s critics make the point that she’s profiting from Mexicans’ pain, and your proposed remedy is that the…

After Jesse Jackson talked about cutting Obama’s balls off, I never want to hear him mentioned again.

“When did Jermaine run for president?”
