“In race talk the move into mainstream America always means buying into the notion of American Blacks as the real aliens. Whatever the ethnicity or nationality of the immigrant, his nemesis is understood to be African American.”
- Toni Morrison
(On the Backs of Blacks)
So JLo went to this event sponsored by Goldman Sachs and specifically complained that they set up a partnership with BLACK WOMEN to push one for Latinas. Ain't that some 💩?!
This is why I don't feel sorry for her flops or when she isn't rewarded the way she wants. She was already put on by Black men, she happily let Tommy pit her against Mariah and Hollywood let's her play gringas. What more does she want?

She was explaining what “backpacking” meant providing context -which includes pricing - since you clearly don’t understand the concept. It’s travel on a smaller budget. Not something rich people would need to do.
@TichinaArnold
MEN are solely responsible for their emasculation. Whatever that's supposed to mean. You didn't define it. Black women don't NEED to do ANYTHING, but sit down and make sure their needs are being met for ONCE.

For the idiot who asked: it was a rude, sexist comment lodged at a Black woman by a white woman so there's the ADDITIONAL racial animus attached. Race-based misogyny. Had the employee been white, too that woman STILL deserved to be banned, but ESPECIALLY bc she targeted a BW.
Alyssa was making $5M a year for Charmed? For Charmed? Are you serious?!
Weren't they trying to pay the Black actresses on Girlfriends something like $20K an episode?
@fairydr0ps
Maybe. Or it could mean JG was a doormat. He certainly put her through a lot. Cheating, with their nanny, the drunkenness & gambling. He also slammed JL at the time, only to buy her a $10M ring now.
@Channel4News
I'm tired of seeing people reply this CHILD is an "exceptional young woman". This is a tragedy that she's had to survive. There's a cost to that. She needs support, a home, therapy and to be a carefree CHILD not faced with ADULT responsibilities.
Blackistan is a term coined by Black Woman book author Karyn Folan in 2006, to describe the dangers Black girls and Women face from being harassed and harmed in predominantly Black neighborhoods by BM. Not much has changed since our murder rate is 4-6 DAILY. Complain to them!

You don't need to make anyone aware of anything. People can read if they want on their own. Just mind your own business! That was the whole point of the discussion!
He complained about the "drama" of dating JLo and the expense of the $6M ring he'd bought her. That's why it looks odd that the Jen he did marry for being low-key is the one he said he'd still be drinking if he was still w/her while he got JLo a $10M ring this time.
It's the only article I could find on my phone, but I think the Way back Archive might have those gossip columns from 2004. He was running his mouth talking mess for weeks!!!
@Trini_jlover
You dumb dumbs are always SO PRESSED. I am a well-established advocate. If a bunch of people saw that Tweet and agreed with it, it's got NOTHING to do with ME and everything to do with how FOUL she is. You will deal.
I have been told by
#Buffalo
locals that foreign origins are showing up to these food drives and taking donations meant for the Black community and hoarding them OR even worse selling them. They mentioned Arab corner store owners specifically.

@jazluvsfries
The point still stands. She didn't need to mention BLACK AMERICAN WOMEN AT ALL if she already had a deal in the bag and it was a partnership.
Make it make sense dummy!
Brendan Frasier gave us an entire interview discussing why he fell off. It was after a powerful white man in Hollywood touched him (like Terry Crew's assault). And he refused as well, but had to deal with the aftermath.
@APEntertainment
She's also had a LOT of career breaks that Black American actresses who aren't mixed don't even get to audition for. Like when she was offered one of the lead roles in Charlie's Angels that she turned down. Like when she was cast as Tom Cruise's love interest in MI2.
Too many Black women still the biggest supporters for everybody else's agenda and outright enemies when we're still the least protected, had the biggest job losses during covid and are replaced and erased across every sector.

Then you haven't spent enough time on this. I've run blog platforms and have been able to run effective engagement with good comment moderation and flagging violators without being punitive. All it takes is diligence and consistency.
Whoopi was cool with Ted Danson in Blackface and shoulder shrugged Roman Polanski's pedophile acts, so no one should be surprised by her contrarian views on anything.
Good. It is GOOD to have examples on tv of people who are intimate but not romantic. This is a side of friendship that we love to pretend can’t exist on screen between men and women!
@thekayanova
If you’re discussing BW, there may be some discussion around vetting for quality mates and being far more selective. That doesn’t mean not dating at all. It means avoiding being abused, gaslit or trapped by a loser, dodging generational poverty and misery.

She really tried it though 🤣. Mind you The Little Mermaid is STILL in theaters and I ain’t heard nary a peep from that fake rah rah white sisterhood.

It's a premium quality product. The cookware is very heavy, sturdy and comes with lifetime service. LeCreuset is enameled cast iron. Their counterpart is All-Clad stainless steel. These are buy it once and pass it down to your kids cookware.
@Variety
This ain't nothing but a trash take on the white gaze and an insult to Black Americans by a white woman's child.
The complete OPPOSITE of a powerhouse writer and change agent like Toni Morrison. Who actually uplifted Black Americans and still had a global audience.

@dieworkwear
Fashion has always been political. Have you ever read a book or studied history?
Women wearing pants. The creation of denim.
Loads of examples.
@davelu
Interesting comparison. Whites let Chinese come here VOLUNTARILY to work the railroads ALONGSIDE Black Americans, but they'd just fought for their freedom so whites didn't want to have to PAY THEM. Your history of leeching and choosing racism is firm. Lying about to won't fly.
@alex_abads
What is hilarious is she said all of this at the beginning of her career. I miss that kind of petty honesty. This was also around the same time when Cindy Crawford said she wouldn't want to have an ass as big as JLo's.

No, the point is you think you're pissing her but you are adultifying her. She is a child and no child should have to deal with that much responsibility. Her being composed on camera doesn't mean she's alright. The emotional damage won't be seen.
@likeMaeveMillay
@nypost
The motive is he was a loser and hates Black Women. He didn’t appreciate that she tried to help him. He took out all his rage at being a failure in life out on her.
BLACK WOMEN are not women of color.
We saw Good Hair. It was trash. And he stole the idea from the director/producer of MY NAPPY ROOTS.
Will should've slapped him a few times for good measure.

He already did that in the Disney+ series. Why give another BS struggle trope plot to a Black character. It's lazy and offensive.

@thecindynoir
It’s a whole psychosis for you losers. Same script. Same disdain for their Blackness. Same hatred of Black Women. The obsessive need to breed out the Black as an escape.
Where's your thread holding Black males accountable for their abuse, denigration and abandonment of Black Women and children???
Otherwise this is just fauxrage misogyny instead of addressing the REAL PROBLEM:
Black males HATE being Black and HATE Black Women. You SHOW it daily.
There is a lot of talk about the overlap between incels and white supremacists, but the alt-right has a growing group that doesn’t get a lot of attention. Let me introduce you to Divestors, Black women who represent a gendered fascism. It's a wild thread. Buckle up🧵 (1/25)

Check out the Twitter chatter. There’s at least two of them on this app defending this mess and saying there’s nothing wrong with this scenario.
She needs new friends!
The way that dude said "he didn't need" to be on [ADOS-led] championship teams to "win" is letting those white team owners know they can start tapping foreign players [for less $$$] more frequently.

The focus is on the US because this is the US market. Instead we can discuss why there has been no support. Unless you're just here to whine about Nigeria.
@AmazonCan
She's a Black Woman they didn't make or use. She can actually rap. She has an inner glow. She's not hard. You see her intellect and softness and even though her image is sexy, it's not manufactured and controlled by them.
@peacheslechat
It's a BW creator, but I question who's actually in charge. Between the Nigerian focus and this fake Harlem stuff..I know Yvette Lee Bowser's name is attached, but this isn't the 90's.
@djtayy
@ThaYG
And as a Black man he already knows most other Black males are NOT. Hence why he wants better for them. Hope that cape flapping for losers gets you the headpat you want.
@KTNV
France does this already. If you saw the WASTE of perfectly good food AND supplies you'd be outraged. We're paying for all of this via increased pricing. We're also paying in other ways.
