if he thinks being president is hard on him, he should see what its doing to us.

Can you imagine the uproar if white people were enslaved for hundreds of years, and after having been freed were still denied basic rights for another century, and then were denied the tools that would allow them to better their overall circumstance like decent education and access to housing and banking, and then… Read more

When I was 19 years of age, the sexual proclivities of young people wasn’t anything, anything like I see today. Read more

What’s even more bizarre about this is that Fredrick Douglass is one of like, 6 black people who you learn about in public school (along with Harriet Tubman, Rosa Parks, MLK, Chrispus Attucks and Dred Scott).

A couple of years ago I went to see Caitlin Moran speak. Sometimes I really like what Caitlin Moray has to say and sometimes I really don’t. Read more
