I don’t get this... unless someone has a physical store (B&M) I’m not sure how they qualify. In my head these loans were for people who had to shutter locations and hunker down and many of those instantly turned to online sales, while restaurants were kicked in the balls.
I was supposed to go to the Middle East before the end of the year. Because the United States is a shit show, we are labeled a high risk country. As soon as I land, the government required me to quarantine for seven days at my own expense where I will be PCR tested twice a day. If I ever test positive, I will be…
That’s legit, she is both of their child, and has both of their genetic make-up. I’m super-white, but my kid’s last name is hispanic, because they are half-hispanic. I’m not trying to get over, but if they get benefits because of their (legit) heritage I’m not going to deny them.
Why are you surprised that receptionists at random hair salons are not wasting their time entertaining a random phone caller’s random questions about extensions at the RNC?
Oh wow, that is fucking INSANE. I’m in Canada, but even by Canadian standards I probably have the Cadillac of maternity leaves. Legally you are required to give employees 18 months, but the amount of coverage you get varies wildly — I think your employer is only obligated to give you the time off.
Colorism is the correct word. It is not a charge you, as a white person, have the placement to level, however certain you are in your reading. You would be completely out of place in doing so, and would deserve any dragging you receive. It’s a family matter.
Ok, so since you were crafty and didn’t post your ...…
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…
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…
Not sure why a teenager and her family getting death threats warrants a cutesy headline.
The cop tells TMZ that the family has been paying the overtime for local police to watch their home, a practice that will continue for “the foreseeable future,”
Very confused as to why we are poking fun of parents protecting a minor child (and...making fun of that minor child) who has been experiencing death threats. Do not understand why the journalist or the editor thought this was remotely ethical.
There’s a lot going on right now with the police and, I suppose, influencers that warrants outrage. This isn’t one of them. Her family is paying police for extra staffing against a scary stalker. I can’t criticize either the influencer or the police in this particularly situation. The click-bait headline (“funds”),…
The only reason Chris Brown is still a “thing” is because America can live with a bloody and bruised picture of Rihanna. Had it been Katy Perry or Taylor Swift, he’d have been UNDER the jail, never to have a platform or career ever again. It’s a sad illustration of the perceived “value” of the lives of black women and…
The fact that Chris Brown is still a thing in hip-hop collabs speaks to this. So much.
I don’t think you understand why this article is being published right now. Depp brought a lawsuit specifically on the basis of allegations about HIM. The lawsuit isn’t about Heard abusing anyone. If Depp’s only defense is “Well, she was also shitty,” he won’t win the lawsuit. Her behavior in this particular instance…
