Also, we speak American. I lived in England for a year and it took me about 2-3 months actually understand people. So many words have different meanings. When my 8th grade classmate leaned over and asked to borrow my rubber, I froze. Total dear in the headlights. I mean, I obviously didn’t know what she wanted, did I?

In the immortal words of Shelly Lavaughn Robinson Obama “Swaggalicious!”
His/her name is “femfisting?” That’s actually . . . horrifying!
“White Genocide” is also about mixed race marriage, so I’m like “Why don’t you talk to your people?” So much of this white rage is really against other white people who don’t really care about them and their stupid beliefs, but they prefer to blame us for having children with white people. I mean, it does take two,…
Every time I hear “Radical Islam” I always think “Radical Moose Lambs” Every dang time!!
a. A black queen.
I saw something recently that indicated that women were more likely to suffer from untreated mental health issues, Black women especially, but you don’t see Black women mass shooting things up.
It might be a combination of a mental health issue and our society’s lack of ability to teach boys proper coping mechanisms…
Yeah that happened in LA and things got a little crazy when they realized that “religion” also meant Islam.
I wear my hair super low and have just discovered the joy of the Buff when it’s too cold to go bare, but not cold enough that you don’t look crazy in a hat. (Or indoors) It’s like a neck gaiter but I wear it on my head, twisted and tucked in the back. They come in all kinds of colors and designs. You can also get them…
Well, she’s a white woman, who is the very definition of “womanhood” to be protected at all costs, and “innocent” (not possibly a raving, unhinged, gun lunatic)
I read “Blink” by Malcolm Gladwell. He goes into great detail about the kind and amount of training required to be able to decide in a split second if lethal force is needed or not, and cops, most of the time, get it wrong.
Teachers are not trained for that, and from what I hear, are not interested in toting guns and…
And unlike a national militia, the State militias in question were specifically about the ability of Southern States to suppress slave rebellions.
“A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free State. . .” Not a free country.
Where is the article about the feminism of Black Panther? That the women are equal, able to be warriors, mothers, scientists, just as a matter of course?
Have I missed it?
Part of the issue is that complete strangers are trying to get a handle on other folks’ private family relationships like it’s important to them. If I tell you someone is my brother, why do you need me to break it down for you? If I know you and like you and we hang out, you’ll learn more over time, but this…
Welp!
For me, it was the end of the portrait unveiling ceremony, when Kehinde got choked up and Michelle did too. Barack didn’t even turn his head, but he oh so casually handed her his handkerchief as if he knew, without even looking at her, that she’d need it.
That’s because Shaft fulfilled their idea about what a Black man is/should be.
“as long as you remain isolated from other Black people or at least pretend you are.”
I’m a black, not light, but not dark, skinned woman who was adopted by white parents. I’m blackity, black, black, but “white adjacent.” I grew up in a primarily white environment which makes navigation easier, but it never lets me believe I’m anything but black. I just know how, to navigate a PW Environment. THAT…
