Exactly what I was afraid of. I knew it was tricky putting things the way I did but felt a need to do so. Meant absolutely no disrespect in your direction.

Maybe i’ll become a member of ‘the grays’ for this, but here goes: Why be so inflammatory in both word & image? Why go for clicks instead of substance and meaningful reflection? There have been two wonderful & insightful articles on the subject also favoring Gayle King, and putting Snoop Dogg’s nastiness in proper…

I guess one bad act/threat begets another, right?

Oh, okay, I didn’t realize i was “in a forum for and by black women in an article about misogynoir”.

There was a time I thought she was peaking too soon...right about now her campaign needs a new boost of energy. We’ll see.....

Yours is exactly the kind of zealotry that essentializes women, and it goes no where.

That’s a stretch! And many of the commenters here, I suspect, are not black.

Happy that Warren is on top, but i’m beginning to worry. She needs a 2nd place or a very strong 3rd place in New Hampshire, whatever that is.

Here we go again with the fictitious “Hoteps” who are stalking & about to crush Black women. The Hotep you refer to is the creation of a distorted imagination in search of clicks, it was basic pandering. “Hoteps” aren’t, and have never been, the oppressors of Black women. The real enemy is the system that maintains…

I wish it wasn’t Snoop & Fifty cent raising these issues around Gayle King and Oprah. I think their observations are legit in terms of how black women like Oprah, King, Whoopi, Robin Roberts tend to tread lightly on white predators while going full blast on black men accused of doing pretty much the same thing. All…

“I’m not at war with black men; I love them very much.” I find it distressing that you even have to write this. From reading your work, there’s no need for it.

“Name one indigenous population in the world that survived and prospered after white people showed?”

What a disgrace! I am so proud the Mexican & Latino writing community fought back. And once again Oprah is in the middle of another mess. Smdh

YES!!

That part of his history needs to be addressed and I understand why Leslie sort to smooth over it... it’s a friendship thing I guess.

Look, I like Tavis Smiley, and always felt he was unfairly targeted for his criticisms of President Obama, but in reading this shit he comes across as someone who was ego/power tripping and it was at the expense of women. It’s almost as if he willed himself to be a sexual predator, always on a hunt. It looks, feels &…

So Trump awards Rush Limbaugh, a racist/white supremacist, sexist, homophobe and Islamophobe, the Medal of Freedom. My mischievous side kicks in and I immediately wonder what would have happened if President Obama had invited & honored Min Louis Farrakhan or Rev Jeremiah Wright with the Medal of Freedom during his…

Thank you.

I admire them all; and continuing props to the “Squad”.. huge fan of Ilhan Omar!

I understand. But come on, it’s all the more reason why what happened last night in Iowa should NEVER have happened. There’s been enough time to get the technical shit together. Now there are reports of the App having issues weeks ago with folks complaining or warning about it.
