I like that this documentary added the historical context. It’s important for those who favor the excuse that “braids aren’t...

Adjectives like bitter and angry are popular insults thrown at black women because it is coded language deeply rooted in misogynoir. If you catch yourself calling black women angry and/or bitter more than you usually would any other woman, for being vocal (or anything really), just be mindful of where those words are coming from…it may not be intentional, but there's a reason why.

remember when people were dedicated like it was their last time on earth to prove that michelle obama was a man? remember when illustrators would draw michelle obama huskier and bigger but melania all petite and frail? remember when michelle obama was called angry for giving her iconic speech but melania wasnt even though she plagiarized it? lol, I hate misogynoir so much.

hi can the creator of exposingmisogynoir come back, please. you were one of few anti-misogynoir blogs that weren’t transphobic and brought up valid topics.

lol, so what I’m trying to figure out is why are people making fun of Mo’nique’s situation when she’s clearly a victim of racism and racialized misogyny? It started off as a joke, but it’s bigger than that now and black men are the ones spreading it and people are really disrespecting her for rightfully being upset.

Right, because when it’s a black woman, it’s time for everyone to grab the mic and make jokes and memes. And because its a black woman, everyone goes along with it. Mo’nique is a critically acclaimed actress/comedian and has been shunned and blackballed for demanding the same respect majority of these men and white womenz get. But you guys rather feed off her misery like some shit head succubus than actually support her. If Dave Chappelle or Kevin Hart were in her shoes, every “pro-blacker” in the world would be writing massive articles about why it’s so wrong, with track records and how the black man is the most disrespected person in the world. Ya’ll are cornyyyy. 

fucking disgusting

rant: black actresses and actresses [of color]

okay, this is for black women, woc and anyone else who would probably be interested in reading this—there’s always some bullshit that I have to come across when im on facebook because it seems like facebook is taking the cake in being the epitome of racist/anti black social media. So, mic recently released a video about black actresses and how the media portrays them negatively and how BW are trying to debunk negative stereotypes by doing something called “the invisible middle” which is highlighting black women with positive careers in society. so anyway, I proceed to the comments (which i never do because im never surprised) and the fucking highest rated comment is by a white skinned latino male who says “easy. if black women dont want negative stereotypes. dont take the roles”. 

anyone who uses their brain to communicate with their mouth, wouldn’t say some shit like that. so here’s a list of reasons of explanations on why I think that’s stupid.
