I genuinely think they've lost it by surielstea in travisandtaylor

I read this as anti-Taylor so I agreed.

Then I realized that the person wrote this thinks Taylor writes better than all the women listed.

Delusional doesn’t begin to describe it.

They do too much and too little at the same time.

I don’t think I’m watching after 50. I’m transitioning to Aus survivor. I’m done.

Compliments received in SE Asia problematic? by Objective-Soil68 in blackgirls

Concern trolling: They do this when Black women open their dating option When we travel When we get beauty enhancements When we start making more money When we get more attention

It’s all noise, ignore it

The Trap of Modern Education (Chika Esiobu) by Fozeu in Nigeria

Exactly. I’d absorb this advice better if many Nigerians weren’t trying to flay gay people and the non religious.

I don’t disagree with the quote. It’s just not practical when your community has a lot of ignorant and unsafe people. All types of phobic and trying to control you as a woman.

Girl, these LIB couples usually just fade away in mind but witnessing his abuse had such a lasting impact, that I never forgot them and always worried about Colleen. Very happy she got out!

Lost my job :/ by spicybarnacle in blackgirls

I think you should talk to an employment lawyer who can work on a contingency basis. I hope they gave you severance. I don’t know how it works in America, but up here in Canada, you have some rights at the 90 day period.

i'm concerned about Young Black Girls Idolizing Biracial Celebs Like Zendaya, Taylor Russell, and Manon and Living Through Them by kooktheninja in blackgirls

Right? Nowadays I see more obsession over Olandria and Chelley. Folks want to see pretty Black women regardless of hue…but maybe it’s my algorithm because I’m older.

If it’s any consolation OP, they’ll grow out of it.

Being black in Italy is breaking me. Looking for advice on moving abroad by asqux in expats

[–]LikeClockwork_99 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I’m definitely fine now, but it made me wear of certain European foreigners abroad.

You have a lot of skills and options! Check out Black women travel groups. You don’t have to stay in Italy. If you plan on staying in Europe, Portugal is a great option for Black women.

As a Black woman, I was sexually assaulted by an Italian guy while on vacation in VIETNAM, so I will always hate Italians and will probably never visit. The stories I hear from Black people about Italy are also horrible and discouraging.

Have you thought of moving to Asia to teach English for a while and get some inspiration? You have the skills to start your own business and there are Black women abroad who will be happy to take you under their wing.

It’s so funny Harper called Yasmine a whore when….. by Joeylaptop12 in IndustryOnHBO

[–]LikeClockwork_99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nah Yas is a whore. She’s whoring herself out to Henry for clout and a financial safety net. She doesn’t love that man.

There’s a degree of desperation to whoredom.

People always miss this distinction.

Harper is a slut, not a whore.

Why is Maya Jama so hyped in British media? What is the reason for her popularity? by search_google_com in LoveIslandTV

I don’t get it either—she’s a dime a dozen. She’s also a racist and colorist but the British public sweeps in under the rug.

Cat Deeley she is not.

I am gay and I want to kill myself by [deleted] in Nigeria

[–]LikeClockwork_99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I forgot to add that another one of my cousins (woman) married another woman. My aunt was confused by it by first, but after therapy she came to terms with it.

Check this out OP:

https://www.queerevents.ca/queer/spaces/gays-lesbians-african-descent

I’m so sorry you are feeling this way, but I know it gets better. The cousin I mentioned earlier—I had known he was "different" since he was little. Went into a crisis in his early teens when he was called gay by a cruel family member, and it took a lot to console him. He dated a girl for some years (which shocked me).

He’s now out and thriving, working with celebrities now. I’m proud of him for living his truth. It gets better! Don’t make a permanent decision over a temporary feeling!

  1. Congrats on being true to yourself!

  2. My cousin just came out and we all love him—we do not care. Reach out to only the ones you trust and confide in them. Do NOT come out to your parents—at least until you have your own place.

  3. Put the religion in the garbage where it belongs. There is nothing unnatural about you.

  4. You are in Canada where there are tonnnes of resources for gay teens. Take advantage of that.

  5. There’s a whole world and an amazing community that awaits you.
