If I wanted to elaborate further:

I'd offer them some water from my monogrammed thermos... But I forgot it at home. All I have is my monogrammed casserole carrier :(

Ariana Grande is weird

Missy Elliot gif party? MISSY ELLIOT GIF PARTY!

Oh snap, Google stole their mail icon from Missy!

Us acting right for white people was never going to save Trayvon's life and it won't save anyone's, ever.

99.9% of the Ferguson protests were peaceful .They only ones being violent were the police and people outside of the community who came in to start trouble.Kendrick should stop speaking about things he knows nothing about.

Why is me saying we should be better than what they expect of us wrong?

It can, and absolutely is, both. It's ridiculous to say that if I dress in a suit and get a "good job" that I'm insulated from racism, but externalized, institutionalized racism creates significant traumas that manifest themselves in internalized self-loathing and self-destructive behavior (see also: patriarchy,…

It is exhausting, I feel you, and I can see how one almost has to focus on the positive just as a matter of spiritual survival — to stay hopeful.

That's all well and good and I love that song but "can't a brother get a little peace" will never change no matter how much WE change.

Yes. Didn't Chris Rock recently say something about how racism is white people's problem, not black people. I wish more people understood this.

Fucked up people think that way. Human decency and respect is just a minimum. We don't have to love ourselves or dress a certain way to deserve it. Comments like that make racism our fault, not the racists'. Self hate, victim blaming, whatever you want to call it. I was a big fan until those comments, too.

Not here for anyone's racist black on black crime bullshit comments. You know damn well that is played out and your response is getting dismissed. Not the one.

Agreed.

It took me at least a minute of WTF before I realized that Anna Kendrick did not release a black rage anthem. It might be time for me to break down and take some sinus meds to clear my stuffy head.

I also didn't like the last bit about Trayvon seeing the fucked up things he said about Mike Brown, i wished he left the last line off.

When KL made those statements, it sounded like self hate. I was disappointed. Roller coaster of emotions, y'all.

oh yeah, also multi-layered, considering he said this

Someone please remind me again tbe reason for this guy's fledgling relevance?
