When I was in my 20s, I boarded a plane that had come from Texas, and the guy next to me was a fake cowboy type, already drunk. Before the plane even took off, he put his hand on my leg! When the drinks cart came around, he got another beer and I got a Coke. I took out my pill case to take a valium, as is my habit on…

She could pass for Dominican because many Dominicans are part black....

Is it wrong for me to wish / want someone from the station to find her and put a mike in front of her after this verbal beatdown?????

The staccato in her speech made each of those claps exist and not exist at the same time. Sharon Reed just invented Schrodinger’s Clapback and should be up for the Nobel Prize in Physics for that shit.

What we witnessed was an assassination.

Florida Teen, side-kick to the Infamous Florida Man, foils Black Rando’s Dastardly Plot(TM) to commit nonsensical and childish mayhem. all while teaching his annoyingly willful ex-girlfriend a lesson.

I feel like this is a really underdiscussed aspect of The AH Tape, how they were talking about her and then how Billy essentially forced her to embrace them *knowing* how they had just been talking about her. That’s not just an innocent greeting.

While I can see in the moment laughing along with the famous/powerful guy who you’ve been tasked with shepherding around (it’s certainly not impressive, but whatever) the part I find really disgusting is when he set up the woman who greeted them outside the bus so Trump could touch her. It’s one thing to not…

Look, some women can be the most ardent supporters of an oppressive patriarchal system. Pam has survived in spite of/by virtue of her physical attributes all her life and can’t see the forest for the trees.

She chose her safety, the safety of her children, and the safety of her unborn child, over leaving an extremely angry, volatile man who would not tolerate her departure. Your response is pat, oversimplistic, and ignores the reality of life as a woman in a relationship with an abusive man. You have no good options.…

Not even a little bit true. Attractiveness is objective. If you’re flirting with people but consistently getting “ew, creep” reactions, consider that it’s not your looks, but your flirting approach that is the problem.

Hypothetical:

So, basically all the entire population of Black Lives in America are worth is 100 Million. There’s more than 300 Million black folk in the US (Agressive Rounding), so we each equal about 30 cents, or so. Actual slaves sold in America costed more per head than that.

They sold themselves out. 25 mil to the UNCF might send a lot of kids to college but I don’t understand how that’s going to prevent cops from shooting them.

It is happening right the fuck now. What do you think these ICE raids are?

All I can tell you is that I know it’s bad because Dorri McWhorter, chief executive of YWCA Metropolitan Chicago told Reuters, “When women thrive, whole economies thrive.” Actually, women don’t deserve decency, respect, and fulfilling lives because it’s good for the economy, but because it’s good for them.

It’s so cool how the New York Times bends over backwards to give a platform and voice to people who want me dead because of the color of my skin.

Identity can not be narrowed down to simple parameters. It’s a lot more complicated than that. Race is a social construct. Racism and the experience of being an ethnic minority is very real. It’s not just who claims you, it’s who rejects you too.

I am white looking half “black” (Southern Black which means a lot of…

Spilling feelings is the Nice Guy version of an unsolicited dick pic.
