2. Idiot contrarian niggas who are obsessed with not being “sheep” and “playing chess, not checkers.” They’re the people who say things like “the Democratic plantation” and “I’d rather get a text from Jay-Z than $500,000, cause I’ll flip that text into millions.” If you know us, you know them, and hopefully, you…

When you hand your date a glass of Kool-Aid and your index finger is still red.

Well, I would say you are better-served in these sorts of conversations by presenting more questions than takes, but we all walk our own path.

To your questions. Here’s where you are struggling (I’m giving you the benefit of the doubt that it is a genuine, if baffling, one): the women weren’t being called out.
I want…

...

You are, in two ways: first, don’t be concerned, you have plenty of other ways you can be an ally if that’s your goal than worrying about an internal discussion about colorism. Second, you are still willfully misrepresenting what she stated. She pointed out that all of the women were light-skinned, which supports that…

I’ll turn your question back on you.

Is it colorism to point out colorism? Here’s a hint: is it racism to point out racism?

What you are missing is that she didn’t criticize his choice of wife. She just pointed out the pattern of all of these wives being light. It’s not a flaw on the women’s part, nor a question of their blackness. What is being pointed out is the pattern of preference on the part of the rappers.
Let me also point out that…

She absolutely said that. ‘Better her than me.’ because she knows next week or month it’s gonna be her and probably over some stupid shit she never saw coming, and this is her week to breathe. Years from now, she’ll look back on that comment and see what the rest of see now - an abusive relationship.

I think it’s time for black women to accept that any man who whines about “N***as ain’t sh-t” is doing a “not all men” and he needs to shut the fuck up.

Did I miss read or did the wife say she would rather he harass moody than the her.....wtf also he’s a clear stalker and this is the only way he can go about it because regardless of how small he’s still a recognizable celeb and stalking is all bout power. So he’s getting his fix. A year from now he’ll be on to some…

Sooo many conscious rappers are just misogynistic hoteps (and weirdly but I guess also not surprisingly, also anti-Semites) in disguise. The charade never lasts long for them.

I really used to like this dude as a rapper, but I just can’t with the whiny, misogynistic, incel, hotep bullshit anymore. And its also telling that not a single male rapper told him to have a stadium full of seats, buckle up, and put on his helmet, because he really needs to.

Black people didn’t create the dichotomy, it’s just another cultural symptom of the disease of racism. Light-skinned blacks got better and preferential treatment historically and the threads of that exist today because beauty norms still favor light-skin over dark skin. But it goes beyond beauty into every facet of…

For a guy who has had his current level of fame for over two decades, he’s insanely thin-skinned. He’s been mad at an internet message board for criticizing something he did in 2002 (and rapped about it on College Dropout like it was something to brag about!) He used to spend entire days going after obvious bots and…

Whewwww. This was a necessary and throroughly researched discussion, and I am glad Kweli will find out that the Hoteps who “support” him are not gonna drop coins on him to spout his vitriol. I am glad that Twitter grew some cojones, but minus 25 points for Slytherin for taking so damn long to ban Kweli, and minus…

Like, do y’all niggas just wake up, get on the internet and say, ‘Oh I’m gonna say this today because this is gonna get some likes, this is gonna be funny.’

“Black women are so unprotected & we hold so many things in to protect the feelings of others w/o considering our own.”

Shut the fuck up when shit don’t have nothin’ to do with you.

Maybe I’m just not in on the joke but how is any of this funny?? How are these ghouls on Twitter making domestic violence jokes and assuming that she somehow deserved to get shot? I can’t with people right now.

I want to give her the biggest hug. That tweet about her being real life hurt and real life traumatized was so heartbreaking and yet so moving in its vulnerability and anger and honesty.
