Im trying to wrap my head around what it would take for someone to get through what she lived through. Personally knowing former slaves (and slave owners!), world wars 1 and 2. Every major depression in US history. The 1950s. Civil rights. And that only gets her to retirement age, she still had the 1970s to now. SHE…

She grew up with her grandparents’ memory of slavery, Jim Crow, MLK.. To a black president. It’s pretty amazing she got to see that progress in her lifetime.

The media is taken with the activities of the Beyhive. It’s fun to see Kid Rock’s IG filled with bees, and now lemonade, emojis.

The officer is obv a secret member of the BeyHive

Exactly, everyone in her community in their early thirties when she was born were former slaves. The history and traditions she must have inherited had to be incredible.

You guys know there’s a Beyonce religion in Atlanta?

On my mother side of the family we come from Georgia & Louisiana, and the stories the older family members tell during the holidays would scare the shit outta me when i was a kid. I was born and raised in Queens (in the 80's) so you can imagine how my 9,10, 11 yrs old mind would receive these stories. I avoided most…

In Montgomery AL her grandparents were almost definitely slaves, if not her father or uncles/aunts. The civil war was not that long ago. You go the South and people in their 80's 90's grew up with their grandfather’s telling them war stories. I remember an old man in Georgia just going off on what the Union did do his…

Thought of that, too. To some people in her life then slavery wasn’t just history it was a memory. Damn.

Some of the older people in her family (when she was a little girl) most likely remembered slavery or were former slaves themselves; contrasting that with all that has come since must have been really remarkable.

Exactly. She has been anything but professional about the situation yet people are respecting the fact she is being a child about it.

Why? She is acting like a child

I certainly don’t believe she’s a victim. Not in any capacity.

I don’t think people understand how important and unusual it is for this particular woman to be cast as anyone’s love interest. I have never seen a woman as dark as Lupita cast this way, and I am HERE FOR IT. She can be the love interest and be talented and fierce in so many ways. Just to watch her on the screen being…

I watched the show once. I came away with the impression that her job involved sitting around mugging for the camera while other people talked. Sort of like the small breasted version of Courtney Stodden.

I have never understood what this issue was about. Can someone explain it to me? All I know is that some white gal is mad because a black guy got promoted to a better show than the one she is on? Or something like that?

He needs to get a Haters Gonna Hate jacket for the last day.

Unpopular Opinion: Michael Strahan doesn’t owe her shit. I get that no one told you, but that’s on ABC not him. Are you his boss? no. You don’t fuck his wife and you don’t feed his kids, so get the fuck away from him with this petty bullshit. It’s such bullshit that he essentially got promoted and then you threw a…

Rich white lady whines for a week when her rich black man leaves for show on same network, with other rich white ladies. Calls her whine “freedom”.
