Everyone can only speculate at this point. Of course, ‘If she would’ve been a pretty little white girl, people would’ve cared,’ is something we can never really know for sure (as well as a bit thin, if we’re speaking purely logically), but there is a tendency within society and the media to impose a certain purity…

Obama’s refusal to close Gitmo? Are you serious? Did you pay attention at all?

Maybe the disconnect is caused by brain freeze from that extra scoop of cold, white privilege.

The elephant in the room in this heightened atmosphere around sexual harassment is the people who have benefited by going along with trading sexual favors for advancement. For instance while we correctly highlighted the actresses that were blacklisted or had their careers threatened no one has of yet shined the…

Fruitvale station was such a well made movie. At the end, when the real life people from the story and incident were shown, I could not contain myself.

There is a difference in saying “i’m not going to spit on every Trump voter who walks by” and saying “I see the good in the Klan member terrorizing my family.” There is something to be said for telling the nice racist people of your town I’m not going to tolerate your racist BS. Particularly if that racist BS isn’t…

oh i thought that meant you were ending the comment - never knew that stood for sarcasm

3. Allow players to be signed to NFL teams mid season. This would increase the chance of better players actually playing in your league trying to get back with the NFL.

I think its a long shot to link smoking and racism. If that’s the case 98% of young Black people, including myself, should be smoking cartons a day.

See this is that bullshit that pisses me off. We’re here thinking “ooooooh sickburn”, when we’re forgetting that this motherfucker would love a solid-gold toilet. He would use it, and absolutely give it back to the Guggenheim with Hershey stains and pieces of a half-flushed McDonald’s burger wrapper still visible.

Because pancakes can stand solo!

Counterpoint: Nobody serves Chicken & Pancakes.

Maybe they just play two quarters?

Also, there were very fine people on both sides... on both sides.

Most of the harassment took place right in the classroom so I’m not sure if this comment had any other point other than to derail the conversation.

I’m sorry, but boiled chicken is not black shit. That’s anti-black shit. I had to dump a white girl for asking if I wanted to have boiled chicken one time. It doesn’t matter what you boil it in boiling some chicken is not black shit.

Badu is a navel gazing dingbat. Some artists are intelligent, brilliant and speak on complicated or simple issues. Badu is not one of them. I suspect she likes being a contrarian and likes the ego boost of presenting herself on another plane without having to do the work—study, thought, speaking with purpose. She is…

All of this and then some. I believe Damon wrote a piece on this before, but I will NOT move over when walking on the sidewalk and a gaggle of Beckies decides to refuse to form a line, when clearly they see someone else is walking. I cut through that shit like I’m playing Red Rover. No look-backs, no apologies.

White people, in general, tend to be pretty terrible when it comes to acknowledging other people and personal space. Any and all free space is theirs to occupy, including your personal space. That sidewalk? Theirs to take up entirely and walk on at a leisurely pace, while making no accommodations to others. That seat…

Unfortunately, I don’t (but if somebody else does, power to you). I simply remember watching it live, and remember Joy cutting commercial break short and coming right back into laying into his ass.
