NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO The Cheetah Girls was a book series with Black girls from across the diaspora living in NYC dealing with real life problems written by a BLACK WOMAN. Disney switched shit up
The Cheetah Girls was so ahead of it’s time. A movie w 4 girls who were diff races w diff body types. They talked abt foster care and having money troubles. Real world issues. They struggled but they frkin worked hard and made their dreams come true. WE STAN THE CHEETAH GIRLS

We don’t work for y’all. Y’all got enough money to put cops in stations, you can have them check the machines.
Checking machines and reporting on what station doesn’t work sounds like a unionized job that y’all just gave away
Noname has dead recommended a plethora of books to read and had a day dedicated to people getting library cards so they could get books FOR FREE. Those bars can’t possibly be about her
Tik tok is not to blame. White people been stealing Black language since the late 1800s (as far as I know) and like every decade there’s newspaper articles complaining about white youth adopting Black terms. This didn’t start with Gen Z, we’re just alive to see this
It is not my fault that your white or white-passing family didn’t teach you about race and ethnicity growing up. But maybe it means something that you weren’t raised to think critically about your identity in society

That’s your friend though so them comments aren’t meant to ostracize him, they’re meant to be funny. Dude in the video is talking about people he is not friends with so it’s not jokes
...Latina is not a race. If you read the books and look at the covers, you would know that Chanel is a Black Latina thus making her a part of the African diaspora 🙄🙄🙄
It’s not lost on me that Amanda Seales has consistently used her platform to provid political education and commentary and I’m not sure the people who’ve criticized her have done the same
@Snow_Blacck
I’m seeing a lot of sex trafficker comments and I just wanna say that sex traffickers take kids because they are sex traffickers, not because they wear a certain type of clothing
@hoodopulence
People saying this is two diff situations are annoying. Did they not both make arguments for their worth and the treatment that they were/are subjected to? Ok then
@pants_so_short
Omg l’ve had dudes say they wanna y’all about social issues but they lack not only an analysis of social issues, but critical analyzing skills. I’ve had dudes wanna talk about sports but they’ve never played an organized sport and only watch the NBA
People on the internet are so annoying. NYC literally smells like smoke as if the fire was in the Bronx. The air is orange. We are 500 miles from Quebec. This has never happened in our lifetimes. It makes perfect sense that someone can’t wrap their head around this

This is more of a disability rights issue. Before she had congestive heart failure she could have had a decent paying job. But now that she receives disability, she can’t have more than $2k in the bank cuz the gov will stop the payments and she still won’t be able to work
@thehill
"If we can do it from space, then I believe folks can do it from the ground, too."
That is so disrespectful. These voting lines are ridiculous and people can’t stand in line for hours for various reasons
Lightskin people had whole social organizations dedicated to only obtaining jobs, college degrees, and other opportunities for light skin people. I’d be willing to bet they had their own neighborhoods
@NiecyNash
I thought this was an anti-mask meme until someone explained to me that to them it meant that the same white people who would have supported "whites only" spaces are now complaining because they are being left out
While Spanish is a colonizer language & oppresses speakers of indigenous languages, we’re still living under the global hegemony of English. Native English speakers know they don’t require proficiency in an additional language cuz their needs will always be met wherever they are.
@PhallonXOXO
Many people who receive disability still have to rely on others to meet their own needs so I can’t imagine how hard it is with kids. It’s true that this isn’t fair to her daughter and it’s also true that at any point in our lives we can become disabled and be in that situation

@keatingssixth
Yea I get the sense that many white people do at least want a ceasefire but of the pro-Israel rallies that have happened so far, the crowds are all white and the only time I see all white people protesting is for white supremacy

@owenhabel2
No, this is a skit. People be doing this just to start shit. You can tell it’s fake cuz like who even is filming from this angle
@keatingssixth
Because your curl pattern doesn’t provide any information on how to care for hair. And most of us have multiple curl patterns on our head
Abused in his youth… an addict as a adult… Ike Turner served 18 months in prison.. Rick James did similar time. Ike came out a changed positive human being. How long should R Kelly spend in prison -and does a USA system give a man a chance for a man to change his world around?
@pearlfectten
It’s now acceptable for women to have a job, open a bank account on their own, keep their own paycheck. Women also have more of a choice in who they marry and it’s acceptable to divorce from violent situations. Ask your grandma if she ever got beat
I’m learning that we tend to have narrow views of Blackness. People are saying how it’s more diverse when it’s not just Black girls. But you can be Black from diff places and the girls in the book were Black and from diff places and had diff cultures. Blackness is not a monolith
Yes, very much so. Hispanic is not and has never been a race, it’s an ethnicity. Spaniards are Hispanic. Spaniards are from Europe. If you’re white from a Latin American country, you are a white hispanic
This is why so many men are aggressively attempting to silence women now. They want their kids and grandkids to believe they were good men and their wives were treated well.

I’m not asking you to retract your statement. I’m just adding context as a college advisor who works with Black students in a state where there’s no HBCUs. These are the barriers families face for various HBCUs
@Fly_Jitt
It’s a lot of weird energy under this post. A 20-yr age gap, fine. But dating someone in their early 20s when you’re 20 years their senior is weird
If you cannot afford to pay your employees a liveable wage then you cannot afford to have employees

For what it’s worth, as someone from upstate NY I just wanna add that people assume that explicit racism is more prevalent in the south than in the north, but people from upstate NY know that upstate NY in particular is has klan counties. And so I think the speaker was saying
The only one pictured wearing pearls. Everything about Whitley was straight bougie. Regine was more like ghetto fab, Hillary was a spoiled space cadet, and Tony had high expectations
I’m starting to think shrinkage is just a made up concept under white supremacy to help us explain the length of our hair in relation to white beauty standards
If you gotta tell us the girl is Hawaiian and Filipino cuz it’s not obvious then she not appropriate for the role. Her mom must be white cuz they info was omitted. Sounds like white washing
Her father is Native Hawai’ian and Filipino.
This is an issue of colorism, not whitewashing or race swapping.
If you’re not Pasifika be mindful and respectful of how you speak about about us, our identity, an representation of us in media.
