“I wasn’t being racist, but here I am being racist.” Doubling-down is a classic racist troll move, but it’s also boring as fuck. Stick a searing hot knife into your eye, to own the libs some more.

The banjo is literally the blackest instrument out there since it is from Africa and yet...it has a very different perception in modern times. Great article.

Hey, troll. Hush up, now. Black folks are speaking.

I’ve said before, she’s a national treasure. I’ve interacted with her and she’s just a special person. Has that rare ability to be erudite and down at the same time. I am glad you had a similar experience.

Great story. I am about to fall down the rabbit hole of this genre. Wish me luck!

Thank you both!

The Carolina Chocolate Drops are easily one of my favorite bands of all time. Giddens is an amazing woman, and her versatility is absolutely unbelievable. I saw her perform an absurdly sick cover of Hit em Up Style, an equally amazing cover of She’s Got You by Patsy Cline, a soulful rendition of Take This Hammer, an…

Does anyone else think that there is potentially a bigger value in mental diversity than physical diversity? What happens when you disagree with a panel because they are “too white,” but their ideologies are shared by the black person that you mandated to join them? ehh...Clearance Thomas. Could what’s in your best…

Does @MariahCarey know that #SaudiArabia waged an illegal war on #Yemen where many well documented war crimes were committed. Yemen today is suffering a famine crisis. Sign the petition to urge artists to #BoycottSaudi & reconsider performing in #Saudi https://goo.gl/Bo3pP3

That red dress Michelle Williams is wearing in that insta-snap is stunning on her. I wish I could find a view from the front—I’m trying to figure out what’s happening with the underskirt. Looks like a single layer down to the ankle, coming from under a miniskirt beaded or sequined like the bodice. The pics on the…

I always thought that forced arbitration was a way to skirt the law good for Jay Z but idk enough about how it all works Ijust know it doesn’t benefit the little man or consumer.

YAASS Devin McGhee! And yes to women of color in leadership positions at beauty companies. And all kinds of companies.
