People take great joy at mocking black women, and poking us like nests of hornets. Then taking any reaction they get as confirmation bias. Gaslighting. And I’ve just given up on black men. Even when I’m on the receiving end of gentlemanly behavior, have more than once seen that devolve into a Dr Jeckyl Mr Hyde type…

I guess am just amazed (like with Cosby) that it took all this time to reach the forefront of the collective conscience, because this was in the Chicago streets, strong, decades ago when I swore off his ass. Like, his marriage certificate to Aaliyah was in the local news for weeks.

People could fill a Dog Whistle Bingo Card based off your response to me. Either Clarence Thomas spends the wee hours on The Root, or you’re white. And you managed three cohorts to pull you from the greys.

I chose not to read the greys this time. You confirmed why.

“How disappointing to hear such misguided animus toward Speaker Pelosi because she didn’t answer a question the way others demand that she answer.”

Dear “Rational - Logic”,

The facts are, mixed ppl in the black community, nothing new, but they were mostly by black mothers, and mostly, historically, via rape, so they leaned towards identifying black. Modern day (white) idiots are trying to rewrite history and say they were robbed of dual identification, totally removing their role in the…

Luckily, I was spared the dreaded fate of spending Christmas and New Year’s alone (I came damn close, and was too drained to even fight it). I was about a few times, but reading comments to Harriot’s posts before the New Year is baaaad for one’s health, I swear, a few took me straight out and I said “Nope”.

He didn’t fail to make it. People were reactionary and failed to see it. He shouldn’t even have to make the point I made. If non black people really understood the dynamics of racism in this country and were truly honest with themselves about that history, it should go without saying what point was being made. That…

But we’re talking about the timeline history of minorities in relation to America and ITS practices... Jewish people are now for the most part considered white in this country. Asians are for the most part considered ‘model minorities'. Blacks have been in this country several hundred years and no such miraculous…

He intentionally picked her in all probability knowing she'd fight back, in high hopes he could get her fired. First words out of his mouth after.

“Another part completely understands if she wants to forget all about it and just get on with her life :-/”

“She can handle herself”

2019: Birdboxing It All To Hell

This is sadly the world this country has wrought. Happy friggin New Year...

We felt safe. It’s strange to say that now, because there were certainly dangers, and my father was keen on letting us know there were bad people in the world who preyed on children. I used to love now n laters and pixi stix!

My neighborhood was in transition growing up (apartment buildings being torn down left and right due to fires for insurance) and poverty made things more sketchy (being held up for instance), but there was always a lyrical beauty to it; the drunk that always spoke to my mom and then me as I got older when walking…

I stand firm this is a troll biding their time ‘til the ball drops at midnight.

Dear “Swippy”, take my quote and apply it to this article or my comments and get back to me with an answer. No one is debating that Jewish people endure having their Jewishness questioned.

Sweet Sweet Jesus, you are not worth it.
