The new Ghostbusters visited sick kids in the hospital — and Facebook misogynists are furious 

Ethiopian Singer Meklit’s Video for ‘Kemekem (I Like Your Afro)’ is the Greatest Afro Love Story Never Told.

Ethiopian Singer Meklit Hadero is giving us all sorts of chills. 

Her video for her single Kemekem (I Like Your Afro), featuring Samuel Yirga, is truly the stuff natural haired dreams are made of. Afro’s, afro picks, some Eskesta moves (Ethiopian shoulder dancing), and of course the super cute, incredibly choreographed and insanely hot love story, the highlight of the video.

A fliratious ode to afros, Meklit was inspired to create this song and video after she noticed a resurgence of afros both in Ethiopia and throughout the continent and diaspora.

Directed by Pete Lee, Choreography: Shawnrey Notto, Dancers: Shawnrey Notto & Zeik McCarter 

Watch her full live performance on KEXP last year.

Dear Disney,

Like most people we love your attractions, but we found some problems with some of them and those problems are stereotypes. Stereotypes are something that some people believe are true but sometimes may not be true. For example say somebody said “girls only like pink,” that’s a stereotype, some girls might like yellow and not pink. You can never really judge.

We are third graders from New York City at The Cathedral School. We learn about stereotypes, and the impact they have on people’s identities. For instance, in the jungle cruise, all the robotic people have dark skin and are throwing spears at you. We think this reinforces some negative associations, we think you should replace them with monkeys throwing rotten fruit.

We noticed that on our trips to Disneyland and Disneyworld that all the cast members call people Prince, Princess, or Knight, judging by what the child “looks like” and assuming gender. We think some feelings could get hurt, say by accident you called someone a Prince who wasn’t a Prince or a Princess, or a Knight, or who was identifying differently than what they were called. We suggest you say “Hello, Your Royalty” instead.

With the Princess Makeovers, we think you are excluding other people who might want a makeover to be something else, including boys and transgender people. When we went to the Princess Castle, the characters only greeted the people they thought were visiting girls, not the visiting boys and again said “Hi Princess.”

We hope you know we had an awesome time at Disney and these are suggestions to make it more inclusive and magical for everyone. Please reply and let us know your thoughts.

Sincerely,
