Afro Felines

  At the Singapore movie premiere for Wicked: For Good , a fan of Ariana Grande jumped over the barrier connected to the runway the cast was walking on. He proceeded to run up to Ariana and attempted to grab her arms. Despite there being two fully grown, able-bodied males right next to Ariana Grande, Cynthia Erivo, the Black female actress who plays Elphaba in the film, immediately went into mammy mode and turned into Ariana Grande’s impromptu bodyguard. The response to this situation has been absolutely horrible for Black women’s image. Hoards of people on TikTok have started making jokes about how "overprotective" Cynthia Erivo is of Ariana Grande with some even alluding to her actually being creepy or predatorial. There have been several tweets portraying Cynthia Erivo as this overly-aggressive, man-like protector of Ariana Grande. There is even one tweet referring to Cynthia as a stud, a term used to describe masculine Black lesbians who wear men’s clothing. A fan even ma...

It is 2025. Why are Black women still having discourse about colorism? What more is there to say? I thought we already knew and accepted that most, if not all, Black males are colorist in one way or another. Why am I still seeing tiktok after tiktok of Black women complaining about the dating preferences of Black male celebrities? Why are Black women still getting upset when a Black male content creator is exposed for being colorist when you should not have been supporting him in the first place? To all my lovely Black women, I mean this from the bottom of my heart. Grow the hell up and move the hell on. Accept that the Black community will never have dark skin Black women’s best interest at heart and divest. Constantly making self-deprecating tiktoks about your darker skin tone or othering yourself from other groups of women is not a productive way to tackle colorism. If anything, you are reinforcing the belief that dark skin is inherently bad when you boil down every minor inconvenie...

See how peaceful life is when you are not engaging in race wars online? In the past few months, there have been several viral videos of white and Asian women engaging in racist behavior publicly. Seeing all of these videos of white and Asian women screaming slurs erratically and looking like patients straight out of a mental asylum reminded me that this is the exact sort of imagery I do not want to see of Black women. The way those Black women behaved in that video of the racist Asian lady screaming slurs in their face is exactly how I want all Black women to respond when being baited into a race war. Stay calm, stay collected, and most importantly, stay composed. The racist Asian lady did not succeed in getting the reaction from the Black women that she wanted and ended up looking like a complete idiot. She was forced to apologize, by the Chinese government, to the Black female tourists she harassed. The Chinese government knows that the woman’s distasteful behavior reflects poorly on...

Harriet Tubman and Sojourner Truth, two historical Black female figures whose lives are purposefully misrepresented by trans people and trans activists. Another day to live, another agenda to be pushed, and another discourse to be had. A couple of weeks ago, a British woman based in London by the name of Natalee B Fitness posted a video stating that her women’s only gym would be for patrons who are biologically female only. Trans women and their supporters erupted into anger over this announcement, and, as usual, when leftist Black women see males in distress, they run to their aid. Leftist Black women were acting like absolute fools all over TikTok and Twitter about this situation. They sat back and watched as Natalee B Fitness received racist death threats from trans activists all because she wanted to create a female-only space. They allowed nonBlack leftists to imply that Black women would somehow be affected by this female-only rule because believing Black women are “more manly” t...

Donald Trump stuck to his words and has started to mass deport thousands of illegal immigrants in the United States. I find myself asking one question and one question only. Why are Latinos and liberal Black women all over social media asking Black women to help illegal immigrants escape their fate? Despite the fact that almost every demographic on this planet participates in misogynoir, there are still so many Black women who refuse to stop muling for people who clearly do not like them. The constant uplifting and defending of groups who despise Black women has got to be a very powerful form of Stockholm syndrome at this point. If there is one thing Black women should take away from the 2024 elections, it should be understanding that every man is out here for themselves. Black women are allowed to be unsympathetic towards others and we should not feel guilty about it. I am writing this blog post to spread one message and one message only. Let the groups of women that men uplift defend...

Annie Lee - Blue Monday I have one question for Black women and one question only. Why did it take a biracial Indian woman losing a presidential election for you all to realize that you should not be concerning yourselves with any social or political movement that does not affect Black women specifically? I am not surprised that Kamala Harris lost nor am I angry that Donald Trump won. This is America. Any Black woman still surprised by the beliefs of the citizens that dwell in this country are naive and foolish. The results of the 2024 election have many Black women across social media declaring that they are finally taking off their capes. The issue I take with this message is that Black women should not have had their capes on for anyone in the first place. Your labor should not have been something you were offering to anyone except like-minded Black women. Palestine, abortion protests, trans rights, migrant issues, DEI, and Black Lives Matter were all simply distractions that should...

  Whenever Black women try and have a meaningful discussion about the importance of learning to love our natural hair, the conversation is constantly interrupted with pointless statements such as:  “But Black men don’t like natural hair!” “Black men only like natural hair when it’s 3C!” “Black men hate 4C hair!” I am going to say this as nicely as I can.  Who gives a damn? Why should I give a damn?  Why do you give a damn? Why does anyone give a damn?  It is 2024. I do not care if Black men like natural hair or not.  There is no law in place that says Black males must adore my beautiful coils.  Point blank. The hairstyles that Black men admire are none of my concern and they should be irrelevant to any and all Black woman as well.   I have grown extremely exhausted of Black male-identified women interrupting the valuable conversations Black women are attempting to have about our unique and beautiful features.  The pointless whining and crying...
