Mods, can you make this a sticky?
Let's make a list of black woman bashers to boycott. These can be celebrities, non-celebs, YouTube personalities or companies that have denigrated black women through Tweets, Facebook posts, blog posts, YouTube videos, radio shows, magazine interviews, commercials and articles. Post descriptions and/or receipts if you can.
ETA: I'm including colorism remarks as well because they are downgrading or objectifying black women based on skin color which is wrong, IMO.
I'll start:
Wesley Snipes - for insinuating that black women give their mates problems and that his Asian wife is more supporting (because she's Asian?): http://www.postbourgie.com/2008/01/22/irrefutable-black-truth-2-wesley-snipes-hates-black-women/ (this link posts the actual excerpt from the original interview)
Slim Thug: for this http://www.vibe.com/posts/slim-thug-black-women-need-stand-their-man-more
