I don't understand the continued responses of disbelief to Fox's racism. Fox should be ignored. They're like trolls on the Internet. Stop feeding them.

Fox News Shocked All Black People Aren't "Burnt Sienna"

As a kid of color, I'll admit that I sometimes felt jealous of my white classmates who got to draw pictures of themselves and their families with Crayola's famous "peach" color, which literally used to be called "flesh." While I made do with "brown," it never really matched my skin tone—to be honest, peach didn't really match many of my white classmates' skin tones either.

And so to me it made a lot of sense when Crayola introduced a line of "multicultural" markers. Why not give children of all colors the opportunity to try and depict themselves as accurately as possible? Why should darker kids whose families can't afford Crayola's more massive collections of colors be stuck with either "brown" or "black" to draw themselves?

This did not make sense to Fox News. According to the hosts of Fox morning show Fox

& Friends, Crayola is "changing the colors of the rainbow" with its multiracial markers. And in the words of conservative pundit Michelle Malkin: "This is pandering—yes—pandering more to liberal parents than it is to kids who really have no need for such things." Malkin suggested that she "got along just fine with burnt sienna," and that everyone else can too.

First, I should mention that burnt sienna is one of the colors in the multicultural pack, and that's fine if a kid decides that's the best choice for them. But I thought it would also be helpful for people like Malkin to see why just getting by with burnt sienna won't work for some kids. It may be surprising to Fox News, but not all people of color are colored alike. - Cord Jefferson

Light and Nice

I thought I would do something light and nice. In the interest of our lovely black women I'm submitting a few pictures of what's available to the black man.There's nothing hard core on this page and nothing, I feel these women should be ashamed of. They're natural beauties any way you look at it. So enjoy.

For someone to say that black women are not attractive, that person must be living in a bubble and not getting out too much. I don't see how black women could get such a bad rap. Sure there are unattractive black women as there are unattractive women of all races, but the focus has been leveled specifically at black women. Why do you think that is? And as I see it, black women have every right to be pissed off, although they can take it too far at times. But I'm not here to judge.

I thought I would put up some eye candy just for the hell of it. Maybe it'll make you guys feel a little bit better and sooth the savage beast. If I get a positive response, I'll post a few more over the course of time and ladies, please don't bite my head off. I believe that if you have it, you must flaunt it and I think these are in good taste, after all the women are beautiful, in my opinion.

Some of you out there like your women to look a certain way. Some of you prefer

slim women, some prefer busty, some prefer copious amounts of derriere, (a category I fall into) some prefer thick, a word I just hate and some prefer everything to be in proportion to everything else.

But whatever makes you holla hallelujah and lets the holy spirit enter when your woman takes her clothes off can't be a bad thing. And believe it or not, there are a whole lot of women who look like this out there. You just gotta stop thinking like a pimp or a player and try being yourself.
