You’re right. She’s too far gone. It must be terrible to live in her “skin”. I’m sure she’s not really comfortable anywhere, but cognitive dissonance is a helleva drug. She just wants acceptance, but she won’t find it until she drops the racism and starts being a decent person.

I stand corrected. Although, the world is filled with all types. Your co-worker sounds like she’s lead a sad existence. She’s looking for acceptance where she will never find it.

They think it provides legitimacy to the incendiary ignorant things they say. It ties back to the idea that black people are a monolith and there is only one “black experience”. Somehow finding the one dissenting black opinion negates the validity of the monolith that doesn’t really exist. Fact is, if the world would…

These keyboard gangsters just don’t learn do they. “Yes, I said it” indeed.

I’m so here for this. Thank-you.

Nasty gutter slags...Ooh...this makes me so mad! I’m glad Denisa brought this behavior to light. I don’t know what criminal charge(s) they are facing, but they deserve to be convicted...whatever it is. I’m also happy to hear that they were fired, and not “investigated” or put on paid administrative leave.

In telling us all to “go back to Africa” if we don’t like the way things are going is simply telling us we can’t and should not express disappointment or grievance about the way we’re treated....ever. It’s an attempt to dismiss black people without any semblance of consideration for the issue at hand. We should…

Yep. That’s scary and sad. Most kids spend more (usable) waking hours with teachers than they do their parents during the week. So, this is the kind of trash mindset that are kids have to endure when they are supposed to be learning in a “safe” environment. Ugh. There seem to be a lot of teachers on the front…

Add to that list

I was raised and educated in the rural south. If any of my teachers (all but 4 were white from Kindergarten to 12th grade) had given me a test or worksheet with this question on it, I would have been upset and probably scared. This is absolutely traumatizing. Once in 7th grade science class, a white kid asked our…

These are all steps toward creating a true authoritarian state in the US. Trump is militarizing the police while simultaneously removing oversight of them. Soon enough, the police will be riding into “inner city” neighborhoods and exterminating citizens. Many in the public will find a way to dismiss these crimes…

Thank you for saying this. I have long had this thought. Why, oh why would anyone think that loving fried chicken is explicitly only for black people? Moreover, how could it ever be an insult? If anything, I’ve found fried chicken to be a common denominator among people of ALL races. I live in Chicago, let me tell…

Why in this day and age does anyone reference lynching people (extra judicially) as a means to restore law and order? How disgusting. I think all PoC just need to realize that most white people don’t have any sensitivity about what it means to be on the side of the “lynchee” since they historically have been the…

I know this may be an unpopular opinion, but I don’t find her funny. The story of her life and upbringing is very compelling. I applaud her for making it with ALL the odds against her. I also hope that she has a long career. However, her comedy styling is just not for me. I like a good dirty joke, but she’s crass…

Agree. I would be traumatized if I witnessed a sexual assault as an adult. I can’t imagine how a 6th, 7th, or 8th grader processes that kind of physical and sexual violence.

I have a little boy is a pretty gentle soul. Very much into “boy” things, but unusually empathetic. He’s also smaller than most boys his age. I’ve always felt that the world isn’t particularly kind to kind boys. This story scares the sh!t out of me. 1. How can kids be so cruel to each other? 2. How did 8th…

Honestly, these cowards take solace in terrorizing as a mob. Singled out or unarmed, they are straight up punks. They are lonely awkward dudes looking for a community. The internet for them is a rabbit hole to hell.

Agree with all of your statements, especially “not American Jesus. He seems like an asshole”.
