Yea, even the HR lady, who also happened to be white, was rolling her eyes throughout. He said I was unapproachable and acted like I was above him just because I want college and sh!t. I’ve only seen him in the elevators/lobby but he was hurt enough to locate my dept and find my name too report me. It was ridiculous…

Hold up hold up hold the fuck up.

Thanks for that link. I was picturing Issa dodging asinine questions from her colleagues on Insecure. I did have a fragile whiteboy go to HR on me once and said I was angry, never smiled, and looked generally unhappy. This was someone I never worked with him, didn’t know what dept he worked at and had to learn his…

After looking for anyone not white in this picture for twenty minutes, I found exactly one black person.

Yeah but she tried to whitesplain shit too. “White men have a life of being white and that brings white diversity to whiteness” or some such bullshit. She was not authentic - at least not publicly. You may have a point about having a departmental ally, but she was fired anyway. It would have been better to be fired…

Srsly. Re: #10: Have you seen this one yet?

That Apple HR mess made me cringe and she still got let go. I wonder what she’d do differently if she could go back and have the support of other black folks in the room and the knowledge that her actions wouldn’t jeopardize her job.

9. Don’t tell a black person what they’re saying isn’t true because you have a friend who’s a black guy and he said...

Companies can avoid all this damage to their brands by having multiple black folks in each step of the decision making. And I say multiple because it can be hard for POC to feel comfortable voicing dissent in a sea of white people without worrying about the security of their job. Also, we are not a monolith, as you’ve…

I don’t care if you’re selling pumpkin-spice lattes with a side of cottage cheese out of the back of a Volkswagen Beetle at a Taylor Swift concert; somewhere, somehow, there’s a black person who may be into it.

You too? I have scheduled a field trip for the following week and we are doing a unit on Media depictions of “minorities” - social studies.

I am ready to lie! Lolll

At their very worst, Marvel movies only far as far as being mediocre. Given that this will be the first major black superhero, even a mediocre movie will be buoyed to greater value (sort of like how Wonder Woman was a decent movie, but is made great by the fact it’s a female-lead endeavor with a kickass leading lady).…

This movie coming out is ALMOST as good as being able to get all the Prince music I could ever want on Youtube. Almost. I have waited my whole life.

Would it feature an annual enunciation contest?

Can we have Courtney B. Vance day anyway?

sheeeiiiiiidd, nigga I bought out a theater for 216 (bougie black code for BP opening) and hired African drummers and dancers to perform before the movie. Really.

Me: We need to see this movie.

Please. Let. This. Movie. Be. GREAT.

*On knees* Please BlackAF DreadLocked Jesus and High Top Bearded Gawd and Holy Spirit (A darkskint black woman, because yes). Please. Let. This. Movie. Be. GREAT.
