I hear that. Just drop me a line whenever you’re done :)

If you don’t feel comfortable doing it, don’t worry about it. The only reason I’m asking is because I’ve seen you around kinja so I know you’re legit and not making shit up (nor are you an asshole.)

I’m black and I cut off my mom for the same thing. Like you, this was just the final straw in a bunch of shit I was dealing with her about. I was trying to figure out if I should try and make things work and then she sent me pictures of her at a Trump rally. That pushed me to my decision.

What is your ethnicity (if you don’t mind me asking)?

Is there anyway you can write about this on your own personal blog so I can share it? I’d be really interested in hearing your story and so would many others.

No doubt in my mind.

I really don’t think anything could top this...not unless it involves Russia and aliens.

I can only assume this was 2016 final “fuck you.”

I haven’t kept up. These types of discussions can lead to premature aging due to frustration and I won’t allow that.

Yo, this is EXACTLY right (even though I know you’re being facetious.) It’s why Facebook can be so very terrible.

Yes I’m sure those who live inside a bubble are just shocked that racism is still in existence. Not the same for us and that’s what everyone seems to forget.

They can all fuck right off with their “well, actually...” bullshit. Quote me.

What the fuck is going on in this thread? What is it with non-black people always telling black people how we should feel about racism? Why do they ALWAYS do this?

We are the same age and that’s exactly how it went down with me. I loved Leonardo DiCaprio and he indirectly made me love literature.

TWENTY YEARS? Good god, I keep thinking the 90s were ten years ago.

Do you not remember the Jesse Williams article from a few months ago when a majority of the Jez crowd told us that they celebrated his win/speech the night before so it was totally ok to highjack the thread and talk about the Supreme Court ruling? Don’t waste your breath (but thank you for comment.)

I love this one too! I posted it the other day😊

I’m going to miss these memes.

There’s nothing petty about karma.
