Sephora needs to hire Black people in all areas of their organization. 6% is still way too low in regards to diversity. 

I work in publishing, and this got the week off to a rousing start! Jonathan Karp is good people (used to work with him) and I look forward to working with Dana Canedy. Though she won’t know (or care) it’s lil ole me...

“The fact that he won, it proves something”

It’s pretty hard for me to not believe based on their previous behavior that this is nothing more than an attempt to pull both black (at least the ones who havent dropped him) voters and the tesla voters away from Biden in order to keep Trump in office.  I mean I wouldnt be surprised if theyve been spending too much…

Yeah, he must have seen a couple of people who weren’t looking at him.

hm Narcissism. 

#BlackFemaleAnonymous further expressed concern that we had not reached out to them directly for comment during our coverage. Our choice to let the coalition’s statements stand for themselves was consistent with our treatment of Essence, and additionally out of respect for the fact that the group had already expressed…

If Essence made moves so quickly, I’m assuming that the Anonymous group must have killer receipts Regarding their shenanigans. 

In this episode of Shitting in the Wrong Place we congratulate this one for the ultimate prize of shitting in the most perfectly wrong place.

I gotta be honest I love some parts of GWTW. It contains one of my favorite scenes in all of cinematic history: the train yard scene. Confederate soldiers dying in the dirt for as far as the eye can see always brings a smile to my face. I cheer on Sherman like he’s LeBron James.

It's called white supremacy.  Its the reason for police brutality.  Its the reason for colorism.  It's the reason for economic disparity with black people and other darker people of color. White folks think we use this term for hat because they refuse to believe that they have life advantages that are debilitating to…

Concern trolling much?

Does your friend go to other people’s funerals and say, what about my dead ancestors?

I think they kind of touched on how pervasive it is throughout the world “Colorist beauty standards are not only closely correlated to socioeconomic success here in the United States, but are well documented in countries throughout South America, Africa and Asia.”

As someone who is of south Asian decent, I can tell you the level of scorn and prejudice that Indians have towards each other for darker skin tone isn’t the only thing that we choose divide us.
