Your comment is full of woman-hating and idicoy, so it’s clear where you stand.

Wait...a documentary series exposing R. Kelly for his crimes and giving his victims an opportunity to speak up is contributing to the problem of R. Kelly raping people? How, fam? How else were we supposed to find out the true extent of what he was doing? What method would’ve been pure enough for you not to cast…

No. You are wrong. You are part of the problem and Should be ashamed of yourself. Facts are facts and can’t be denied. This man is and has been ruining lives of young women and their families for decades. Just because YOU value his art more than the lives of these girls doesn’t make his actions less horrifying. He is…

It most certainly is about race. Even before reading the article, my first analytical reaction was this is the subconscious of the black American insofar as the trailer paints a picture of a successful black family, on nice vacation, own a boat—thingsor accomplishments traditionally related to the white American…

My white guy take is that it’s about the fear that African Americans who achieve success feel about what they have lost
So you got a Mercedes, a boat, white friends who say stupid shit like “it’s vodka o’clock”
But you have to teach your kids (that wear white culture t-shirts) rhythm and in the back of your mind you…

Nooooo, I swear to you that kale sauteéd with butter and minced garlic then cooked down with just enough chicken stock is a revelation in deliciousness! Like similarly prepared spinach but firmer and not slimy.

Gotta add: Flesh-colored band-aids.

The home is a controlled situation where you learn behaviors to be remembered and deployed in uncontrolled situations. It is imperative that kids learn to accept authority first before they learn to question it. It’s THE PARENT’S job to remove/mitigate dangerous things AND people but things happen and kids need to…

This is such a great article, Mr. Young. I was beaten as a child, with a large wooden paddle, and by the time I was four, I learned to stop crying because if I cried, the beatings lasted longer. I was determined never to strike my children.

Look, I can understand “tapping” a toddler (lightly slapping hand or butt) to get their attention when attempting to do something dangerous. I do not understand spanking. I was spanked as a child. Hell, I’m 44 & I can remember some of them. Spanking didn’t teach me shit, except, bamboo switches are evil and my mother…

Thank you so much for this. I swear I grew up hearing about how black people beat there kids, and that never sat well with me. I thought that was some hold over slave type thinking. Like, I’m a black child so talking and reasoning won’t work on me;I have to get hit.

“Because this parenting shit is day after day after day after day after day of throwing shit at the wall and seeing what maybe sticks.”

I wonder if it’s less that people think they’re a better parent than you, but rather are paranoid that you think you’re a better parent than they are and overcompensate.

it is depressing because white folks white folked. The ironic thing is the ballot measures that won had to have won with a lot of white votes -- like Medicaid expansion in three red states (Utah, Idaho and Nebraska). It’s kind of amazing how popular some Democratic policies are to folks who just can’t seem to bring…

The other half is white. We don’t abide by the one drop rule over here.

That is poetic, isn't it? Denise B is the Shakespeare of creative ass kicking phraseology

“Slap you critical" is going in my mind palace for future retrieval.

I am a white man who got his degree at an HBCU. This idiot’s actions do not in any way, shape of form represent in any way my experience.

Saying she wished she could have been the MAGAbomber, in the current climate? Sorry, that’s the definition of a threat. You don’t talk like that after the week this country has had. If someone from my work shared an article about Tree of Life and said “why didn’t I think of that?” I wouldn’t go back to that job until t…

rule number one as a Black person I do not refer to other Black people as nigger NEVER. Rule Two if you call me one (whether you are Black or White ) I am going to slap you into critical. Expel this trailer park trash and be done with it.
