[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just saw a picture from her birthday post with Jen surrounded by like 20 women in a hotel room.

This is why I can’t take Jen’s racial advocacy seriously. When you make a huge portion of your career about women and lifting up other women and the importance of female friendships above all but you don’t allow any women of color near your inner circle despite living in one of the most diverse parts of the country, it shows a lot about true values.

I don’t mean any disrespect but are you serious? Two black children and a black life partner isn’t enough?[/quote]

Oh please. I'm sure Jen would love to have a black friend. She showcases plenty of black authors and influencers and activists on her podcasts but those people all have something in common - they have a book or a product or a message to promote and someone in that circumstance is probably going to hop on any wagon that helps promote their current thing.

While Jen has adopted black children, those kids did not choose her. I'm not going to go down the road of why she adopted black kids and infer there's some kind of "Look at meeeee" motivation behind the adoptions because I don't know that. She and her husband made that decision for their family and it's not for me to pick apart.

Called Tyler Jen's "life partner" is a complete joke. Enough said about that, other than the performative "Look at my black boyfriend" every few weeks just to make sure everyone knows that she has a black boyfriend. GMAB.

I think most strong, smart black women would see through Jen's bullshit in a heartbeat. If she and her ridiculous gang of ride or dies could trot out a woman of color as their token bestie for photos and get away with marginalizing her and not letting her fully be a part of the "bestie cool girls group" she would totally do that.

Her racial advocacy is a performance when race is the hot discussion of the moment. [/quote]

THIS!! You hit all of the nails on the head.  "Life partner" made me giggle.  [/quote]
