My mom and I were driving by there going home (at least the hair salons haven’t been gentrified out of existence) and wondered what all the police cars were for and why no one noticed the obviously intoxicated/high white woman trying to open people’s car doors to get in if you were stopped in traffic. Mom and I…

Look I was not happy about the tag line as written as it was not very well written. I’m currently binge watching Living Single so I’m extra salty about it because watching this show is bringing up many fond memories and I will tolerate no disrespect to the people involved lol.

I have experienced similar conversations because in college and in the places I have worked since I have often been surrounded by white people (often as the lone black person in the crowd). Now I do have practice at spotting that one person who will turn an interesting conversation about world travels, world events…

Are you serious? That is absolutely amazing to me that having a command of the English language is supposed to mean you came from a white neighborhood smh.

You are so right and it’s like they refuse to believe that the projects differ in each state. The projects in NY are so different than the projects in LA but they all believe that there are no middle class smart people in the hood. I can’t deal with folks most times.

I hear you. I grew up in the projects in the Bronx and people swear I grew up in the suburbs just because of some arbitrary ideas they have on the behavior people from the projects are meant to display. I was called “white sounding” or “oreo” exactly two times in my life by someone from the hood and trust that person…

I literally had that thought one day I went in there & noticed the $1 aisle was right by the door. I even had a laugh with the manager at the door as we both remarked how easy it was to get stuck there before you even walk in the door (and she worked there lol). I almost forgot hat I went in there for and still ended…

I once had this yt woman follow me around in a Whole Foods because she was convinced I looked like Octavia Spencer and when I asked her why she kept looking at me she really told me that. It caught me off guard cause I have never been told I looked like anyone who was not a family member & then I remembered it was…

Ummm so you don’t know me but can I go just so I can stop you from shanking anyone with a chicken bone lol. Although I did want to knife a woman I knew at a dinner with friends once cause this “champagne on a beer wallet woman” had the nerve to be questionable on tipping while also talking about her expensive tastes…

I have now come to really enjoy that look I get now. I actually had a couple look at me funny cause I refused to stray from my walking path because they decided to hold hands and walk in front of me going the opposite direction. The dude really thought I would go around them but nope it was a game of chicken that I…

This right here is how I walk down the street now lol. I never noticed how people are socialized to give space to wypipo on the street like that until a friend of mine pointed out how the 3 of us very melanin heavy gorgeous individuals walking 3 deep down the street actually moved and even stepped off the curb to give…

Thank you thank you thank you I went through this painful self-reflection after a past relationship. Once I faced the brutal truth about why I was holding on to a very toxic relationship and my selfishness on trying to prove a point that no one else cared about least of all the person I was holding on to my life…

I’m good at ghosting work networking events like office parties. The key is never ghost alone because someone will notice. I time my ghosting to coincide with another person’s ghosting move so I don’t get caught by that random person who sees you hitting the door and always says “you leaving already?” In that…

That is awesome. I got an A- on an English paper arguing about the cowardice and guilt of the minister in The Scarlet Letter rather than the usual theme of adultery and punishment for Hester. I thought the usual analysis of the book was basic and was anti-women so I wanted to argue a different perspective on the book…

I, too as a woman, have fallen victim to the “shots for everyone” trick. As I ponder how I managed to party so much in my youth with my limited funds I realize that most of my party peeps were white and at some point Australian (I got stories of being white boy wasted hanging with them lol) so I never really paid for…
