This is so sad. I'm not even angry at her. I'm angry that she drank the koolaid that "white is right".

Yeah, I live in PA, and while the liquor laws can be a pain, I agree with you. The fact that it gives people who probably couldn't find a job above minimum wage a chance to make a livable wage is wayyyy more important than my selfish desire to have more booze access. Unfortunately, the health insurance is only…

Hearing this really ruined my day when i see this happening to a fellow black woman BECAUSE she is black.

She's gorgeous. Happy to see white folks enjoying what us coloreds can take for granted. Case in point: My mom at 56.

I wish I could send a hug through the Internet right now. That is the saddest post (at least the first part) that I've read in a long time. But please, give little-kid-you a hug for me.

I distinctly remember being a little girl playing in the sandbox with my brother when I realized that if I covered my skin in sand when I pulled it out of the sand my skin was lighter (ashy and dirty, but lighter) my brother asked me what I was doing and I said I was trying to be "white like mommy."

Agreed. A man who's committing sexual assault could whisper Boyz 2 Men lyrics and it would be foul. Why do we have to assume that the woman Thicke is singing to hasn't consented? I enjoy rough sex. I enjoy rape fantasies. I was into S&M before I was assaulted and I'm still into S&M now. Until/unless I use the safe…

I LOVE makeup, so I'm with you here. Luckily, my man doesn't seem to mind it either way, except when he feels I'm taking too long. My favorite "you're beautiful the way you are so let's just go" moment happened when we were running late for a wedding and I still had applied shadow to one eye.
