  3. Rest in peace James Avery aka Uncle Phil. Scenes like this are why I'll never fully love Black-ish. They could never. They've tried. But naw.

    In Montgomery County, Maryland, liberal views and progressive values are just masks. “By ignoring the very real experiences of marginalized people in these communities, many white Americans enable injustices and racist issues to persist.”— 🙌🏾💯

    51 Women, 75% Black, have been murdered in Chicago & CPD has done 0 to solve them! At least 3 Black girls went missing just this week including a 11yr old girl! How can 12 keep us safe when they’re hurting us too!

    The biggest problem isn’t Kim or what she been doing. The problem is the invisibility of people who have been doing the work and how she is able to sensationalize it w/out paying respect and adding capacity to people who been doing the work. It’s always free us.

    Ayesha Curry is articulating how it feels when women are seen as mere extensions of their husbands. She is calling for recognition and visibility. She is her own person. Simple.

    Women in committed relationships have desires, wants, and needs too. We want to be seen as more than our partner's spouse.

    Ayesha has been with the same man, a mega star athlete, who travels constantly and lives in the limelight while she carries the full tasks of their household. Meanwhile, they are respectable, Christian folx who are monogamous and chaste. She prolly wants to wild out.

    For many women in heterosexual marriages, this can feel isolating and undermining of our femininity and sexual desire. And ppl tell you that it's ok because you have a man. It's not.

    There is this idea that, once a woman is married, she is effectively the property of her husband and therefore invisible as a full, sexual, and desirous human being to others.
