It'll be over as soon as white teenagers and young adults find something else to 'discover', even though that something will have existed in black American culture for a while. Corn rows might be the new thing.

Let's not conflate salamandering with twerking. For the love of Big Freedia I urge caution in these times.

nyc is an incredibly racist place, and people are very vocally racist there, the police in particular. racism is a universal entity of the united states, period. pretty soon, we'll be declaring it a human, right along with businesses, because of its ubiquity. :-/

Did anyone read the Buzzfeed article on this?

It doesn't feel like regressing to me, because this shit has been going on for well over a century. It's just that social media makes it easier to document now.

Add it to the list of things I have to worry about doing as a black female:

Happened to me in NYC. The only thing that shut down the questioning was the fact that they suddenly noticed that I was carrying a massive fucking bag with my laptop and about 4 books (seems an inconvenient thing to carry around while working). A massive bag that it took 10 minutes (or what felt like 10 minutes) to…

Sorry, Black Twitter is a real thing. It's Twitter, but better.

Straight white American men view "rights" as a series of passes for them to do what they please to anyone else that isn't a straight white American man.

As long as he couldn't remember it, nothing happened.

So, if some guy drugged Cee-Lo and forced him to have sex against his will, he'd be cool with that?

My standard? You mean people who don't lecture me about how "aware" they are right after making a truly dense, ignorant, insensitive and quintessentially unaware statement?

I will post this on every article about domestic violence from here until the end of time. If you are experiencing abuse, it is not your fault. If someone you care about is being abused, you cannot fix it for them, but you can be a support and decrease the isolation they are experiencing. From loveisrespect.org:

A friend's husband went to an auction and bought a miniature portrait of a lovely blue-eyed, blond-haired woman because her dress matched the wallpaper in the very nice closet that my friend had an architect design in their new home. It was a thoughtful and sweet gift by someone who clearly wanted to make his wife…

It's sort of horrifying to me that there are men who literally believe that female bodies were "designed" by evolution with the singular goal of being as titillating to them personally as possible. Not for providing for the success of future offspring, not for women's own personal evolutionary survival, but to be…

So, let me get this straight, Reddit.

Yeah, this seems... odd. Like, some of the psychological hormone stuff seems like it makes sense evolutionarily, like the increased libido around ovulation and the risk-aversion after that. But the rest of it seems like it's a series of assumptions made around a book deal some fuzzy science.

I was hoping the final morph would be into the spiderwoman cover
