Really? I mean, really? If your perception is that people are “none to happy to have you around,” I don’t doubt it and you shouldn’t be surprised or upset by that.
Being bitter, petty, angry and continually stalking behind people to ‘say’ things like “you are a hypocrite” (as you did to Beauty Is Diverse) and “you really are a joke” (as you did to moi) – just because they see things differently or don’t have the same opinion as you — makes it very clear why no one would want “to have you around” period, let alone in any position of influence or control!
Oh. The little girl is upset. LOL! And that is why you will never be in that position of influence and control unless you are feeding off of the backs of AA women. I’m doing quite well as an MD/JD. I control my own destiny. Your dislike for AA women is so intense it radiates through the information high way. The balck girl could be Little Bo Peep and you would still find something wrong.
Whatevah you say (or lie you attempt to make others believe about being an MD, JD), trick! Really…I believe you! *giggle*

Obviously I own you…else you wouldn't stay tugging at my thong, commenting behind me and all up in my stuff!
I’d really like to know what you & Kim base your accusations on that Akai is a troll and has prejudices against black women, when in fact she doesn’t exhibit standard “trollish” behaviors but offers information, insight and even cites news media in her responses. And how is she biased against AA women? Because she doesn’t agree with the fodder that’s fed by the likes of Michaela Angela Davis?? Because she acknowledges that racism DOES exist in the world but doesn’t support bigotry BY ANYONE? Baseless and degrading accusations of someone being a troll or having racist tendencies shouldn’t be thrown around nonchalantly. It’s not a good look for either of you or Clutch.
It’s based on the fact the she disagrees with their points of view and dares to call people out on bullsh!t aka the victim mentality being displayed. Fashion? I mean really, fashion? This is something that is purely elective people! C’mon now really, if black women of any stripe want to be taken seriously we need to put our power behind real issues, otherwise our numbers and voices become meaningless.
This was such a bloody waste of time, effort and the tips of 4 inch stiletto heels. get behind a better school system for our schools to make sure that our children graduate and are able to compete on a college level and the world stage. Spend all that effort on HIV/STD education for our young women who are the fastest growing segment of newly contracted HIV cases in this country. Get behind better, more affordable housing for poor and low income families and better/low cost health services for our communities, and I could go on and on and on. Really, just a blasted waste of time. we need to know where our priorities lie people.
Glad to see the ladies taking a stand. If Essence is going to be a magazine that caters to a specific group, in this black women, it should set an example across the board in the magazine and behind the scenes..
Some people don’t want to let go of black victim mentality and Michaela Angela Davis is one of them. It’s how she makes a name for herself these days because let’s be honest, no one’s checking for her to do anything with fashion anymore. She would have no platform if she gave up on the downtrodden black victim frame of mind. Plus it’s always been a way to prove her “blackness” despite her very pale complexion and green eyes.
The truth is that white people have always been involved in everything from black publications to tv shows to colleges. Both Girlfriends and The Game were produced by Kelsey Grammar. Yeah the white guy who’s best known for playing Frazer. I don’t think anyone would argue that because there was a white guy at the helm of these shows, they didn’t cater to their target demographics or become less black.
The other truth is Michaela has had a long standing beef with Angela, Essence’s EIC. Angela fired Michaela and best believe, Michaela’s still pissed! It’s this beef that drove her to not give Angela the benefit of the doubt that she poured through countless resumes and vetted qualified black professionals. It’s that beef that drove Michaela to disrespect and publicly lay into Angela and her decision to hire Placas. Michaela has an axe to grind with Angela and saw this as the perfect opportunity to do it.
I’m all for protest, but, why at NY Fashion Week? What did the two things have to do with each other?

@Leah: Let’s ignore these h**!
Some of this is probably my fault, so e-mail me!
