While her behavior is most certainly outrageous. This is a glimpse into a larger problem of blacks in position of power, doling out harsher punishments to other blacks, than they would to a white person, under similar, if not exact circumstances. We all are well aware of the uneven treatment of black people in our…

If white people, who are going on outrageous racist rants, are losing their jobs, even after they issue that is not who I am apology, I don’t see how she didn’t see this coming.

Are there people whose actions color your opinion of them. Depending on their motivations, I have a lower opinion of them. This translate to all people, the ones who hate to see poverty, but wouldn’t give a dollar unless it heighten their image. I wouldn’t confront them or give them hostile stares in public places. I…

There are plenty of black people with other black people that do our community no favors, with self hatred or apathy. Men who say that children need a man in the home, then ghost their own flesh and blood, to raise their new chick’s kid. The ones who break their neck to point out to the world what is wrong with us,…

Hit the nail on the head. These brothers & sister want better lives for themselves, to seen for their value as a person, they are more than their skin. A irksome theme for me is, I am a writer,actor,doctor...... not a black writer......... Then all you see in their bed and at their side is snow. Are you with that…

Thank you, I stay woke and shaking my kids so they don’t fall asleep. You doing sacred work, yourself.

For me to consider any man black or white, he has to be for my culture and woke as hell.

No. I was never sleep so my ‘wokenesss’ is not a conversation piece.

He don’t need a book. Fox News tells him all he needs and wants to know.

He could be a white troll and I hope he is, but I know many like him who pretend to have black pride even as they rush to bend over for master( he isn’t being sodomized, he is Liftings his people by showing the white man what the black can do and opening the doors for more blacks, it’s not his fault these shiftless…

I agree with you completely. I have had the conversation with my teenage sons often.

Read “Temple of My Familiar” if you havn’t already. Shug is explored further and there is another character that is so dazzling, she is capable dimming Shug a bit in comparison. Read it first over 20 years ago reread every few years. Alice Walker is my church.

Poor black women have low rates of marriage also. The issue is not status or money. The argument would be the same if he was a plumber or electrician. Colorism is the product of race mixing whether by force or choice. Whether you marry white to lighten your bloodline or for love. How and why you choose your mate…

My comments on the difference between options for black men and black women are based on cold hard fact. The statement was not based simply on my own observations or experineces. I already replied in reference to my views on interracial dating. Mixed is still black, never said it was not. I speak from the added…

Being black and woke are not mutually exclusive. If you are black and deem yourself inferior or an expection to other black people, you are doing harm to our community. Example lyrics about light skin and white women, being the beauty standard. You have black men such as Gilbert Arenas who holla about being real and…

You are fixated on trying to make black men who date white women victims. Black men are put on pedestals in our community and excused every transgression. You are being purposely obtuse, which only makes your own hang ups, with black women and your own blackness clearer. I have 2 sons and a daughter. They have options…
