Letter to Essence Editors: Produce Receipts or Let Amanda Seales Be

If this is an exhaustive list of why she's “unlikable”, then we’re all in trouble.

I think about sisterhood a lot, possibly to the point of overanalyzing how well Black women practice and promote it. I think bell hooks felt the same when she discussed how fragile sisterhood can be when dealing with racism and patriarchy. Specifically, she wrote “It is sexism that leads women to feel threatened by one another without cause.”

Tell me if this is a stretch, but a recent op-ed about Amanda Seales vs. (Black) Hollywood is an example of what bell hooks described. Especially when you consider where the op-ed appeared and what the author used to defend her argument.
