“Joe says please stop committing so much crime and police will stop shooting you.”

Notice how the responsibility is ONLY put on us to do the right thing. It is never that white people should actually be doing something to stop these issues, it is only that we as Black people should just be respectable to them, stop committing crimes (because white people just don’t commit crimes I guess), just not…

This bullshit “We can not teach people to stop hating/killing us, if we hold their feet to the fire every single day.” is so damned tired, played out and bad faith in every which way.

Dolly Pardon still seems to be one of the best human beings alive...

Too bad that it didn’t move any one of the GQP faithful in attendance so much as an inch on the issue. They likely just sat there and blamed her in their minds for every single thing that happened to her: her assault, her financial status at the time, etc.

Protect women and their reproductive rights, full stop. Protect them beforehand by stiffening the punishments for rape and having a more victim-centered approach to investigating and prosecuting sex crimes. Protect them in the form of easily accessible, affordable healthcare. Protect them after they’ve made the…

God bless her for sharing something so deeply personal and painful. I hope he also protects her against the onslaught of victim blaming, shaming, and death threats i know she is also going to receive.

Pretty sure the entire CBC voted yea too. Black faces are welcome, Black politics not so much.

These complaints sound vaguely familiar. I mean, I don’t disagree and you’re not wrong.

The NEA gets less than $0.17 billion a year and yet idiots in the media and politics believe zeroing that out will fix the deficit.

“Abused in his youth…an addict as a adult, Ike Turner served 18 months in prison.. Rick James did similar time. Ike came out a changed positive human being. How long should R Kelly spend in prison—and does a USA system give a man a chance for a man to change his world around?”

It’s like I’m just voting Democrat in order to fight off the GQP, not because I think they’ll actually turn shit around.  I like Dems with fire in them, like the Squad, but most are just spineless anymore.

It’s about that time for me to cut off many, many individuals. Anyone defending R Kelly is someone I want nothing to do with, ESPECIALLY when they fucking bring up how the system treats Black folks as a reason to.... what? Excuse the shit he did?? Get less time than his predator ass deserves?? Fuck comparing him to a…

It seems a lot of artists have this perception that if they make good, or at least popular art, all of their other actions should be forgiven. That their music, or movies, or books, somehow absolves them of their crimes. 

Not surprised to see men jumping through hoops to excuse/ find redemption for a man such as this. Typical....

Bill and Chuck can both fuck off all the way THAT WAY

As long as the GQP is forcing the Dems to be the anti-blatant racism party, portions of that ethos will slip into their behavior. For instance, in 2018, eight white-majority districts elected black members of Congress. You’re not wrong, but at least you’re not completely or inevitably correct.

Permanently greyed guy here again... Anyway, I’m just more or less pissed at the party for not doing what needs to be done, and that means doing everything they can to ensure that Trump and his enablers see the inside of a prison cell. The sheer volume of evidence showing the attempted coupe on January 6th would have…

Expand the Supreme Court and root out any and all FBI leaders who passed on Kavanaugh’s back ground check. Simple steps the Dems could do to level the playing field, much less ensure civil rights.
