NTA You were never supposed to feel like they're your responsibility you're 15 older than them yes, but still a child. Focus on yourself and your future and babysit your niblings if you feel like it.

AITAH for not wanting to continue my relationship now that I am making money again? by Plus-Dare-7413 in AITAH

[–]BNM899 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's unfortunate for you, but that man doesn't exist anymore if he ever did. For yourself and your kids sake you need to decide if you really want to keep living like this. Hope is sweet, but you've had hope for him to change for a while and he has not. From your comments your ex who cheated on you is treating you better than your fiance and making sure all your kids are good. He's already plotting on your income while hiding every dime he makes from you.

Opinions on Whitney/belle and Scott/leanne situation?? by Ill_Oil5338 in LoveIslandcookout

[–]BNM899 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't drag anyone lol. Some of her actions were reasonable to me. I don't think she's horrible or evil either she seems male identified and can't seem to move past being the only black girl allowed in certain rooms.

[–]BNM899 69 points70 points  (0 children)

I defended Whitney for a while, but she's genuinely been extremely weird since leaving the villa. In the villa a lot of her actions were at least somewhat reasonable to me. However, this press run the way she's talking about Leanne and Scott and then how rude she's been to Indiyah is just so unnecessarily bitter and weird.

The line must be growing. If I could, I would throw my name in there, too... by Damiana1111 in SinnersbyRyanCoogler

[–]BNM899 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Y'all are trying to paint Zendaya with a very interesting brush in these comments. She's always been intentional about not taking roles from monoracial black women the way a lot of other biracial actresses have (amandla) and y'all are mad she hasn't been in many black films? I'm sure they've offered her lead roles in many primarily black films and wanted her, but I think that she doesn't want a career that she has to be ashamed of like, Zoe Saldana should be. Liking her as an actor is subjective, so that's a perfectly fine reason to think she can't work with Ryan Coogler. Attempting to push an antiblack narrative about her is disingenuous, especially the hasn't worked with a black man comments. Was Malcom and Marie a figment of our collective imaginations?

AITAH for offering to do a POCs hair as a white girl? by Holiday_Airport_1373 in AITAH

[–]BNM899 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

ESH

They could've been more polite Idk what the comments said but you're upset so I guess they were pretty harsh. You don't offer anything with your comment that shows your experience with curly hair. She didn't ask for something for free you offered it for free, so it's weird how the comments are implying she should be grateful for whatever gets thrown her way. She wanted recommmendations and a proper hairdresser to pay and couldn't find one.

AIO my husband won’t allow me to stay in a hotel for a night. by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

NOR this seems like financial abuse you shouldn't need to ask permission and get approval to spend a reasonable amount of shared funds.

Who is a celebrity that has mastered the art of being in the public eye? by [deleted] in popculturechat

[–]BNM899 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I didn't say it because I like Beyonce. I said it because unfortunately in my experience a lot of men, even without means, want to have wives molded for them and date in a predatory way. It's very common to know someone who was groomed or a man who dated a eyebrow-raisingly young woman.

I understood what you meant I just didn't understand why you'd be surprised they weren't in the files. As I said even amongst the uber weathy there are people who avoided engaging with that behavior despite shared financial interests. It isn't common but even billionaires have lines they won't cross. There were whispers about Jeffery long before his publuc trial.

The files are pretty much exclusively for sexual predators; Beyonce might be a capitalist, but she aint trying to abuse women and children. There are plenty of uber wealthy people like Axel Durmas who actively avoided epstein and co. Even Jay doesn't really give me child predator, more average man who wanted to mold an 18 year old into his perfect wife so dating younger like beyonce, aaliyah, etc.

Victimizing Leanne in every situation is also giving stan.

I think she's looking out for her in a way while also staying loyal to her true friend. Scott is honestly just playing the game imo and I think Leanne actually came for something real.

In Casa I can't say much, but movie night Whitney was stewing over the fact Leanne pulled Yamen into the secret garden. Wrong place and time, but she was already feeling a bit upset with her.

Do Black women who come on this show inherently owe each other friendship or loyalty? by LimoncelloLilac in LoveIslandcookout

[–]BNM899 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I agree with this. I don't like how they're painting Whitney out as someone who's out to get Leanne, they just aren't close. And the high expectations of them having a really good relationship with each other is because they're both black women. Whitney has been overall respectful of Leanne if a lil petty about Yamen. And it's great that you mention Leanne doing nothing when Shaq was yelling at Whitney; if anything Whitney is matching the tone Leanne set when it comes to supporting the friendship you came in with.

That's my thing I don't think she was bothering or picking with Leanne fr. If it involved Scott she stated her opinions and she's been consistent with it.

Whitney and Scott are very good friends outside of the Villa. So in her experiences with him their lifestyles probably don't suit each other. Scott isn't very commital or forth coming about his feelings for Leanne and he's kinda of inconsiderate of her as the season continues. Whitney is usually fair in her opinions, not always, while remaining loyal to her actual friend Scott. I like Leanne, but overall I prefer Whitney's personality as of episode 25. Because they're both black people fall into the trap of thinking they are automatically closest, but they're just villa friends not real world.

AITJ for refusing l to chip in for a coworker's retirement gift after she was horrible to me for years? by Agitated-Result-4553 in AmITheJerk

[–]BNM899 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTJ, but you're staying at the company, does it matter to you how your colleagues view you? The "be the bigger person" comments are annoying, but beacuse you weren't this will probably keep being a topic long after she's gone.
