Alexyss Tylor on Classism and Black Respectability Politics
Start your Monday morning with your favorite new black ghetto folk feminist, the glorious Alexyss Tylor. In this (relatively) new clip Tylor discusses the classism of the African American women's community and the politics of black respectability...not mention dick, ass, balls, pussy, and whatever else she feels like mentioning. I'm officially a fan.
Happy Monday. I'll post more later.

Frank, you are mad funny...LOL. Alexyss reminds me of my elders back at home in NC. You know the ones that are straight up, telling it like it izzzz (whether ya like it or not)and chewing tobacco (we used to called it snuff). I love real people and Alexyss seems real. A lot of what she preaches is questionable to me, but hey live and let live. Alexyss is alright with me.

I'm passing on her as well. Her homophobia is inexcusable. Bell Hooks, Angela Davis, Michele Wallace and many others could teach Alexyss a thing or two.

I too, will pass on her. She is comic relief and nothing more. Never, ever to be taken seriously as she is so narrow minded and single scoped.

Brothas,
Lighten up please. See the clip for its comidic value! Sure the things that she says are stupid, hateful, insensitive, when I watch I laugh at her not agree with her. Sometimes we got to stop being like the women who called Ms. Alexyis on the speaker phone and start to be like Alexyss! Thanks Frank for introducing me to a new train of thought, as stupid as she is. The next time I smoke (puff puff pass), I will surely have this clip on hand to just laugh my heart out. LOVE yall of my brothas in the life!
