It's sad, but it's easier to turn the discussion to her and get angry with her, but it's harder for some people on here to see why this is why we fight for representation. When you grow up and only see white women and lighter skinned black women in demand and ideal visions of beauty, it's not hard to see why then…

For some reason I'm not that surprised…I never forgot when the camera crew for Dave Chappelle's Show interviewed him and he asked if blacks only go to black doctors and if they only want to go to black funeral home directors, it wasn't as bad as I'm typing it, (I'm going off memory) it was just really awkward. It was…

Nope, you're not. It also makes me sad that with the framing of Soon Yi as the adopted daughter as a way to lessen the impact of Woody Allen's relationship with her, it almost reinforces that an adopted child or a family with adopted children is not a "real family", that you can't love an adopted child or treat them…

I don't believe I said you had to like any particular comment on here, I'm just curious as to why calling someone that speaks up, criticizes, and examines issues dealing with people of color (I see the term applies during other issues, but it's most often applied to when a discussion of racism is going on) is a…

They didn't "dig it up" he's mentioned it himself in a few interviews, and it's always odd to me that someone discussing issues involving people of color, race, or racism has turned into an insult. Someone fighting or discussing social issues online is an odd thing to try and make into an insult, but okay.

Hey! It sounds like you figured out a system that works for you, that's great! It takes so much much time to get one down. I've heard a lot of good things about that Shea Moisture mask, I may pick it up in the future. I hear you on being mindful of how you're using your money on hair products. I'm so embarrassed about…

Do you write this with the assumption that things are actually all that great for blacks in Hollywood? Seriously, after this award season is up, do you really think there's going to be a huge line of projects and work for many of these actors lined up to be a part of? Especially in the case of Lupita Nyyong'o, past a…

Not too long at all!! Thank you so much. The links will be very helpful. I love talking about hair too! I wish I could get more people on here spilling their natural hair secrets. ;) Being on hair forums is a little bit overwhelming for me, and I've been reading commenting on here on and off for years, so I'm a little…

Noooooo! No combs or brushes! It'd be murder! I only do finger detangling. I'm curious about using a denman brush but I try and mostly use my fingers.

I've actually been using Kinky Curly! I use Knot Today to help with detangling, but haven't had much luck with their other products. I need to research seborrheic dermatitis, because that may be what I have. I even bought this pricey scalp treatment, and while it's help a little, I'm still having problems. Which hair…

My skin is more combo and acne prone.

Any black jezzies with natural hair care to break down their routines? I've been struggling since forever to retain moisture and keep my scalp itch free, but nothing is helping. My routine right now is to dry detangle my hair during the weekend and wash it with Shea Moisture's moisture retention shampoo, condition…

What else has he said? It sucks because I've been watching Supernatural on and off on Netflix, and it was so disappointing to read that, has the guy who plays Dean said any awful things in the past? He seems so sweet and fun to be around during those blooper videos.

Uh oh! Now I'm going to have to check this stuff out! My poor bank account…speaking of AA skincare, though I'm assuming it's mainly for woc, but do you or someone you have have any experience ordering from DooBop.com? I really want to try them out, but they don't have a decent return policy. I'm spoiled by Sephora.

I wonder if this brand would be fine for AA skin? I've been getting a little obsessed with skincare lately, but I'm still unsure of what works for me. Right now, I'm using Yes To Grapefruit facial scrub and Tarte Maracuja Oil as a moisturizer and just bought Bite Cosmetic's Lip Mask, but that's it.

Did anyone see the tweet by Jared Padalecki about PSH's death? Very hurtful and mean-sprited, I don't understand why/how people who make statements that there are more important things that are tragedies in the world can't see that an individual's death has an effect on people.

They're great for eating dip though!

Thank you so much. And I just noticed your username, is Bey behind this?!

Receipts: Because I could sense that someone would assume I'm lying. Trust me, Benedict doesn't bother me on a personal level but I hate the assumption that it's all a lie because he's one's fave.

Jesus. Do you mind linking an article of this…a nice rebuttal to the comments on here arguing that reparations for the countries that had it's population enslaved is the devil and would be punishing the poor white people of today. I'm not whether I think reparations is/isn't a good idea nor if it would benefit the…
