Malia!!!!!

I actually like the song. Hmmmm.

Exactly. I went to a great private university. My mom was a single mom paying some of my tuition. I remember not feeling enough. But how do I explain that my mother who is busy working as an office manager and raising my sister and struggling to put together the money for my luxurious private education.

I don’t know if we are really disagreeing.

I am a parent and although I may be mad at my kid. I understand that this world and by extension parents put on our children. I also remember college and it was a struggle. I am happy that the mother seemed happy. If she cursed the kid out I couldn’t blame her if she was so happy that her kid was alright and instantly…

While I agree. I also understand the want to disappear from your life. I am glad that her mother was so understanding. As an academic and a single mom she probably could totally understand.

She makes me want to watch the Tony Awards. Her voice is truly an instrument and she is beyond gifted.

That and her being uncomfortable gave her no reason to ice Chyna.

I only play it for my 6 year-old girl. But I totally get the pandering aspect.

Give the people(mostly white) what they want.

My biggest issue with the Krause casting is that in Six Feet and Parenthood he was like the every man and that was appealing. At one point in The Catch I thought Krause is wearing makeup: WTF. I don’t know if he is a good fit for Shondaland but I can see why people in that land got excited about him.

I don’t know if he Krause is miscast. But I do think they made the right choice in recasting. The first fiance was too young and pretty. If they had aired it with him we would have all said duh. At least with Krause we can see why she got suckered.

Yeah this is my feeling. Sidibe seems so desperate to be seen as funny and cool with everyone. I love her I think she is fabulous but I think her tolerance for humiliation is pretty high. She reminds me of Amy Schumer whose self-deprecation always crosses a line for me.

I agree with your statement. I loved her show. I loved that I didn't always agree with her. I don't need to agree with the host to continue to support them. I think she did a good job of bringing people on who looked at her like she was crazy when she said crazy things. Bill O'Reilly still has a show and he is bat…

But my dislike is not centered on just women. I am modest person. If a guy did that crap all the time I would be equally critical.

When does the criticism lobbed at her just boil down to good taste. Any time you criticize a woman showing her body it becomes an argument of misogyny. Kim needs to stop that is all. I hate dudes who show their chests in profile pics and she fits into that category.

Yes girl. That happened to me in college. I was determined to fit in with black kids because my high school friends were white. When I stopped caring about being "black" and was just myself I found my tribe and that includes black people.

It might not be conscious thing. The biggest issue that white people tend to not understand is that black people are not only fighting physical barriers we are constantly fighting mental and emotional barriers. White supremacy is not about water fountains. It is about the consistent enforcement of white as right. My…

You are writing to a black girl who was told she was an oreo most of her life so while I have sympathy for your cousin I also understand that this is what a lot of black kids go through. I was in to No Doubt and Green Day and I used to specifically say that I didn’t like rap and the reason I said it was because I…

There a cues that black people (heck all minorities) give to each other. And non-minorities often don't get it. Those girls weren't giving the cues.
