Being the “exception” to someone’s colorism does not mean colorism doesn’t exist. Being accepted because a colorist man finds you attractive while he degrades other dark-skinned women is not a win. It’s still colorism. Seeking validation from a man who openly disrespects women, including the very w

White people experiencing slavery does not erase or make equivalent the racialized, hereditary chattel slavery Black Americans experienced. The conversation isn’t about who suffered more. It’s about understanding how a system built around race, inheritance, and the destruction of identity can conti

Y’all, I love you DOWN 😭😂 but we are NOT fighting over the word “cis” in my comments anymore. It simply means your gender identity matches the sex you were assigned at birth. That’s it, sister! 😂 I blocked the word because we are not turning every conversation into a terminology cage match. PSA ove

Black women’s hair has NEVER been as simple as “you wear weave because you hate yourself.” That argument completely ignores the history of Black hair discrimination, assimilation, lack of representation, and the fact that the CROWN Act wasn’t even first passed until 2019. You can encourage Black w

This one is vulnerable because I’m genuinely exhausted. My video was NEVER about hating trans women, excluding trans women, or arguing that trans women aren’t women. Stop reducing my conversation to something I never said. I was speaking as a cisgender Black woman about why our bodies and embodi

Using my face to push a point I NEVER made, then blocking me so I can’t correct you, is beyond dishonest. My conversation was never “trans women aren’t women.” It was about refusing to erase cisgender Black women’s embodied experiences from conversations about womanhood, especially when our bodies

This is what being an ally actually looks like. Miss Rachel isn’t just saying the right things when it’s comfortable. She’s showing up, doing the work, advocating for children, and using her privilege even when speaking up could cost her. That shouldn’t be extraordinary. That should be the standard

An apology that still blames Black women for YOUR racism isn’t accountability. You saw a white woman make the video, but instead of addressing her, you went searching through the comments, found Black women, and decided THEY needed to be humbled. Nobody forced you to reach for racist stereotypes ab

Keke Palmer having Drew Afualo on her show after ALL of this discourse is… disappointing. There was a real opportunity to amplify the Black women, including trans Black women, who spoke up about how dismissive and harmful this conversation became. Instead, the microphone goes right back to the pers

The original video was made by a WHITE woman, yet somehow Black women became the lesson, the warning AND the comparison. 🥴 Using 4C hair, broad shoulders and Black girls’ bodies as evidence that you’re more “conventionally attractive” and therefore safer isn’t solidarity. That’s anti-Blackness dres

Brandon Tatum really said we need to “stop lying” to Michelle Obama about being attractive… then volunteered his OWN wife for the comparison. Sir. 😭 But the bigger conversation is how anti-Blackness gets packaged differently when the messenger is Black. It’s not just what you say. It’s how you say

Replying to @kaychanelle3 Y’all are so busy trying to catch a “gotcha” that you’re missing the entire point. I understood the satire. I also understood what came AFTER the joke. Discernment requires you to listen beyond the part that confirms what you already wanted to hear. And some of y’all will

Black women, PLEASE pay attention to who you’re applauding. A viral “transracial Black woman” satire might feel like it’s validating your concerns about cisgender women and womanhood… until you realize the person making the joke is also mocking Black people, George Floyd and BLM. You do NOT need ra

If your issue is the parenting, critique the PARENT. Black girls are already adultified and oversexualized at alarming rates. We do not need adults repeatedly plastering their images online and opening the floor for thousands of people to critique their bodies. Protect Black girls and young women o

Black women’s relationship to our bodies cannot be reduced to “patriarchy taught women that reproduction makes them valuable.” Our history also includes fighting for the right to have autonomy over our own bodies, to choose motherhood OR not, to build and keep our families, and to have our humanity

Black women talking about our reproductive bodies is not “centering men.” Our bodies have been a literal battleground for reproductive control in this country. Black women fought for the right not to have children AND the right to have them, which is why the Reproductive Justice framework matters h

Jools Lebron is a victim of financial illiteracy, and I think that’s getting lost in this conversation. So many people would be in the exact same spot if they came up randomly on a lump sum of life changing money. When you grow up without access to wealth, investing, savings, or financial educati

Is cardi b black? Well she doesn’t seem to think so…. So why do black Americans want to force the black identity on her and many other celebrities and people who are multiracial? #blackwomen #blacktiktok #viraltiktok #blackhistory #blowthisup
