Is This Mural Offensive to Women of Color?
The more this debate rages on, the more sick and tired I am of Black and Brown people displacing their anger. This is a snippet of a piece I wrote about it for The BVX (Spinoff of AOL Black Voices): There were some buxom women spotted on 42nd street recently. They were wearing gaudy jewelry, […]
