WORD.
I think the real challenge would be finding a single woman in the world who *hasn’t* had an experience along these lines. I still remember the first time a drunk man groped me in a restaurant— I was 12. And I never told anyone, because I thought they would blame me.
This shit really needs to stop.
I’m fortunate to have never been groped by a stranger, but I have been catcalled, so often that I don’t even think about it anymore. The fact that these kinds of experiences are nearly universal among women says a lot about how far we still have to go.
Major editorial shakeups are happening at Lucky magazine: editor in chief Brandon Holley is out, and former Teen Vogue beauty director Eva Chen has been named as her replacement.Eva Chen is the first Asian American editor-in-chief of a Condé Nast publication!
Take a look at this picture. Do you know who it is? Most people haven’t heard of him. But you should have. When you see his face or hear his name you should get as sick in your stomach as when yo…
White people must be stopped.
this is that shit that pisses me off because black people get shit on for for having names like “Shaniqua” and “Lakieshia” and all that but white people get to name their kids shit like this nah fuck that son
I’m all for people’s names being respected no matter how different from the norm they might be. Rock on baby Lakynn! I mean, who is to judge what is a “good” name, a “white name” or a so-called “ghetto name” (a phrase fraught with so much wrong)? But this double standard needs to be called out. I guarantee you that a black child named Lakynn (how do you pronounce that?) would get the side eye but the same name bestowed upon a white child would seem unique and creative.
Funny. Every time black folks do something unique, creative, or magically make something out of nothing it’s called ghetto and summarily dismissed until mainstream culture (read: white) decides it’s cute (i.e. nail art, hair extensions, twerking, etc).“Every time black folks do something unique, creative, or magically make something out of nothing it’s called ghetto and summarily dismissed until mainstream culture (read: white) decides it’s cute (i.e. nail art, hair extensions, twerking, etc).”
