Obama is right on his comments about these police shootings advancing no causes. J

Good job, Mr President! You make the right people angry!

I've been voting for Obama since he ran against Bobby Rush and lost, so I can say this time I feel that he is not speaking for me.

I ever heard of is going to make me not lose my respect for the President

This... This reads like an Aaron Mcgruder caricature. It really does, and it's disappointing that anyone would run this no-name musician like serious news.

She sounds vaguely deranged, and her attitudes towards the LGBT and the Jewish communities are dubious.

She cannot possibly want a music critic who kills for what he believes in.

but someone who advocates skin bleaching has ZERO volume in my ears on ANYTHING that relates to blackness.

I had really bad acne that left spots all over my face, well into my early twenties, bleaching cream helped me greatly. When you are really young, you are very self-conscious of everything about yourself. I would have done anything to keep people from (I thought) staring at me.

with being too dark.

I guess we all have our own issues. Mine was the dark spots all over my face and her's was her dark face. Still an issue. But then you have White folk using tanning cream to give themselves more color. I guess it's all the same.

POC around the world using bleaching cream to appear lighter .

White people without tans are not viewed negatively .

I was looking at it as an individuals opinion of one's self, and not how the world sees them.

Was not your own use corrective/restorative rather than a conscious alteration of the original, and is not that difference in intent both relevant and telling?

she's a supporter of Mr. Caterpillar Hair for president. She needs to sit down somewhere before she makes herself look like a bigger clown.

she walks the walk and talks the talk no matter what people might think, feel or say. In saying that I'm not saying what I agree with or disagree with in her statement. I respect her.

If she's breathing she's beefing with/at someone.


Just who she is.

doesn't automatically get my attention, or assure me she knows what she's talking about. She needs to calm the fuck down.

seriously Ms. Banks.
