    That's been going around twitter for at least a day now and I still can't think of a single explanation as to how a company with as many resources as Dove came up with it and no one said a damn thing. I'm 99.99% sure there is not a single person darker than a glass of eggnog at Dove's advertising department.

    It's like this female acceptance angle that's still focused on outer beauty. Which I get like that's what their product is lol but they just seem like extra emotionally manipulative ads

    Interesting video
     
  22. Was wondering where to post that; it's a good explanation of how representation affects perception and then how that perception affects action, for example, but it's definitely about much more than just that.

    A middle aged white woman in NYC told my brother in law to go back to his own country

    Full disclosure, he called her the c word before that. Cause he's a jerk.

    : (

    I'm writing a paper on the myth of black liberation movements cause a rise in violent crimes, and was wondering if anyone here has read anything recent that is related to that? I'm mostly looking for peer reviewed/academic articles or books, but it doesn't have to be. I already have the FBI report on "Black identity extremists" as a source.
