right back at you sis. and the same goes for some black americans. we are told that Africa is all one way or this way. No individuality is given to the multiple nations that reside within the continent or the hundred of ethnicities in one nation. we are told we should be happy we were born here and not there. I see…

The only people who pit Black Africans against AAs are outsiders who have an agenda. I have never met a brother or sister from any part of the motherland that didn’t constantly show love and respect. They also always said, come home anytime and they met it. There is no us without you!

They are national treasures and are the best to ever do it. Venus’ injuries aside, she is a masterclass along with her baby sister on how to handle pressure with grace, pride, dignity. They were never ashamed of being black and talented and beautiful and better than everyone else. I love Richard and Oracene for the…

I appreciate that. I am sorry if I got rude, but I go crazy at the unfairness of it all sometimes, how we have to be everything for everyone and get shit on in the process.

You know what they said about ASSuming.

I used to feel that way and now I don’t. Negroid is not the same as everyone else and we aren’t treated as such. It’s not about our issues being more important and if someone is willing to ally properly I’m not saying turn it down, but we need to be concerned about US and only US at this point and stop trying to push…

You caught that too? Lawd. It’s too real in these skreets.

We stay repping for every fucking body. That’s why we’re in the situation we are now because we are too damn inclusive. It’s time we get exclusive and focus on us. As someone with Rappahannock blood making up a third of my being and seeing the racism my mixed Native/Black family dealt with from other Native Americans,…

Bitch you tried it! The only person trolling hear is you. You’re a racist piece of shit, putting words in peoples mouths and blaming essentially black people for a system they never created. That includes sexism, racism and almost any ism that you can think of in this country. You have a fucking seat (the irony) and…

First, loved the reboot. The Tanners have always been my favorite white tv family because they own their lameness, their cheesiness, and whiteness and I got it! They even play to it in this version which was super important to me!

Actually he was addressing the issue in general. He was asking for Black women to be included in the discussion as this effects them and other women who are not white. Jennifer Lawrence has a right to speak on the wage gap, but she’s making mega millions per movies and has the pick of the litter in projects (and this…

I honestly don’t give a shit about your petty ass struggles tbh. Some white women are viewed as a group who think they are social justice warriors for everyone and can’t be racist. They view themselves as the saviors and champions of causes and when they get theirs then everyone else can eat cake took. Maybe not an…

He didn’t tell anyone to shut up, he was just asking for people to have a broader perspective. Also this is Essence Magazine, a publication catered toward Black women. So, his tone was completely in line with that. HE was speaking to US and acknowledging our struggles. AS black women we appreciate the fuck out of it.…

I disagree. Interracial gay/straight relationships are heavily pushed these days more than the concept of black men and black women as healthy loving romantic couples. It’s racist. And I’m not here for that either.

As a Black woman who is all for representation in every facet of American life, I just want to say I see you and feel you and agree with pretty much most of what you said. Yes we want to be represented in movies and tv and other artist platforms and we should, but a lot of white people think that shit ends there.…

You are right and I will be one of them.

I have kept my mouth shut about this trans sitch that’s been taking over the country’s conversation but right the fuck on. Mind blown at the dissonance. Fuck Bruce and Rachel these appropriating fake ass fucktards.

Exhaling loudly. I am so glad I am not the only one who feels this way. I read that book in third grade before it was even required reading in eighth. At the end of TKAMB, I was all like, “yeah, this is what my parents raved about?” Read it again in eighth grade as required for American Lit and I was even more…

I mean it depends on what kind of person you are. Like I’d have an issue with someone like the Trashdashians naming their children after famous Black people. It’s an affront to our entire culture. But if someone woke did it, I would not be upset. My friend and his wife-both white-named their baby Zora Neale. But they…

It’s definitely in bad taste. So is being a mass murderer. So all this proves is there are levels to this shit and hypocrisy is a motha.
