Pay to Play is all but industry standard now to be honest, and not just for artists but for songwriters as well. Charging, to get your music heard for potential placement is so common.

Queen Sugar is one of those shows, that demonstrates to me that, it doesn’t matter what black women do. It really doesn’t. The fact that it got shut out completely from 2018 Emmys is a joke. Not to mention it’s pretty much completely ignored by white critics (who matter if you are trying to get awards/buzz for your…

I just generally want ciara to win. 

“If darkskin ppl just loved themselves then colorism wouldn’t exist,it’s just a mindset”

Me to a lot of these responses already

I’m not going to wade into this just yet, but I did want to say this,

I’m still processing and I really have to see it again, but there was one thing that really stood out to me.

I’m glad things like this are coming to the forefront, but the US does stuff like this all the time. My mother immigrated to the US from Jamaica. And she along with everyone else in our community remembers the campaigns in the 80s and the 90s about the evils of coconut oil and shea butter.

White America y’all are cannibalizing yourselves. Don’t you have better things to do?

Edit.

When I went to the screening last night, at first I thought the moderator was you Danielle.

Speak on it. When I was a kid, I was ACUTELY aware that not only were there virtually no black girls in movies or on tv, but in the rare instances that they showed up they were never darker than a paper bag, hazel eyes, and always had loose curls. Which is why when moesha mitchell and angela moore came around I held…

I would say, but I know after I said it that ban hammer would be dropped with a quickness.

Yeah, and I don’t think anyone over there really understands the property and what makes it strong. Like X men is X men not Wolverine and friends. I think days of future past was the best executed movie.
