#STOPIT: Street Harassment - “No, sir, you can’t lick my ice cream. Now, please take three steps back, Creep!” Every woman who has ever eaten an ice cream cone in public and dealt with the lewd comments of strange men as a result can relate. In 2015 we hope all young men learn the difference between compliments and straight-out harassment. (Photo: Image Source/Corbis)

#STOPIT: Shaming Blue Ivy's Hair - In case you missed it, Blue Ivy is a Black girl with Black hair. It is kinky by nature — not messy. Please stop making her natural hair the object of your displaced hate. Whether she rocks it perfectly coiled on Monday or frizzed on Friday, it is not your business.

#STOPIT: Bye Felicia Series - This VH1 series features two Black women who take on the task of reviving the lives of down-and-out white women by helping them say, “Bye Felicia,” to their old selves. Dear VH1, #StopIt.

#STOPIT: White Artists Using the N-Word - Although this debate has been going on for decades, it's always been pretty much a collective opinion that white artists should refrain from using the N-Word. In 2014, the likes of Madonna, Justin Bieber and Iggy Azalea didn't seem to get the memo, but here's to 2015 being the year that they learn, and learn quickly.(Photos from left: Jamie McCarthy/Getty Images, Ari Perilstein/Getty Images for Variety, Bennett Raglin/BET/Getty Images for BET)

#STOPIT: Light Skin vs. Dark Skin Debate - Who taught us to separate Blacks based on shade? Dark or light, we’re all Black. Separating ourselves based on stereotypical characteristics and non-Black standards of beauty is far from cute, funny or true.  (Photo: Granger Wootz/Blend Images/Corbis)

#STOPIT: Putting Dead Bodies on Trial - We’ve disturbingly witnessed three recent trials in which dead Black men saw no justice as their killers were not charged. Perhaps our biggest #StopIt wish is the continued devaluation of Black life — both from inside our community and the world around us.  (Photo: Scott Olson/Getty Images)

#STOPIT: Bad Casting - This year saw a handful of highly anticipated films deliver underwhelming — and upsetting — results due to poor casting. From the atrocious acting and careless casting choices in Lifetime's Aaliyah: Princess of R&B to the huge slap in the face to the history of Egypt that was Exodus, we just hope this stays in 2014!(Photos from left: Christos Kalohoridis/Lifetime, 20th Century FOX)

#STOPIT: Revenge Porn - Don’t be a salty lover. If things don’t go your way, it is not OK to share photos that were privately entrusted to you with the public.  (Photo: MotoEd/GettyImages)

#STOPIT: Loud But Lazy Activism - Activism is so much more than a temporary outcry against injustice; it is a commitment to social progress through real investment weighted in time, action and financial contribution. In 2015 let’s all work to be better activists.  (Photo: AP Photo/St. Louis Post-Dispatch, Robert Cohen)

#STOPIT: Validating Unhealthy Forms of Beauty - It is neither healthy nor attractive to use self-love as a disguise for being anorexic or over-weight. If you know someone living on either of these extremes, encourage them to develop a healthy eating pattern and workout regimen. (Photo: Leonora Hamill/GettyImages)

#STOPIT: Media Defamation - If he/she was gunned down in the morning, that photo taken lounging on the front porch in a hoodie while sipping beer would somehow find its way into the media with character-slandering labels. As we’ve seen in countless cases, playing into stereotypes based on someone’s wardrobe has been inappropriately repurposed to justify injustice.  (Photo: Alex Ogbonna via Twitter)

#STOPIT: Mean Girl Feminism - Proclaimed feminist Beyoncé received some backlash from other feminists this year because she twerks. Since when did the ideals of sisterhood and socioeconomic equality of the sexes become an exclusive “You can’t sit with us club”? Just stop. (Photo: Kevin Mazur/WireImage for Parkwood Entertainment)

#STOPIT: Victim Blaming - We currently live in a culture where the survivors of rape and victims of murder could be at fault because of observations such as her or his attire. How about the blame being placed in the hands of the perpetrators instead? (Photo: JUSTIN TALLIS/AFP/Getty Images)

#STOPIT: Side-Piece Praising - Thanks to rappers and R&B singers romanticizing the nuances of cheating, many men and women think it’s flattering to lie down with someone who already belongs to someone else. There is a difference between an honest, open relationship and a secret side piece. Do you want fries with that? Men and women, let’s think trice before allowing someone to treat us less than we deserve in 2015.  (Photo: Elektra Entertainment Group Inc.)

#STOPIT: Cyberattacks - Cyber-trolls have been in existence ever since the invention of the Internet, but it seems as with time, the population just grows and grows, especially when Sony's The Interview was almost never released. We sincerely hope cyberattacks do not cross over into the new year.(Photo: Rafe Swan/Getty Images)

#STOPIT: Kimye Bashing - We know that this may be a hard pill to swallow for some, but Kim Kardashian and Kanye West are now a married couple and it's about time the world accepts this. From countdowns to their divorce — which is yet to happen — to unnecessary think-pieces about why they should split, the obsession with Kimye's marriage has just become pretty ridiculous. Let's just wish them well and move on.(Photo: Rich Polk/Getty Images for LACMA)
