Now see, I feel like more threatening than the “Word” with head nod is “Word” with hands crossed low across the front of their body - thusly

1a. “Keep on”.

 2 things:

I say invite him to the cookout, tell him to bring some artisinal beer and foil, if he acts a fool, no more cookouts but I have feeling he’ll just sit there and observe, nod his head on occasion and will jump in to assist with setting up.

That’s the type of tweet from a white dude that’s already been to a few cookouts.

Him grown up:

So far today, my dog has done the following: refused to go outside for his morning pee because it was mildly cold; barked at a toddler trying to ride his tricycle; tripped over my laptop cord (x3); knocked over the spent artillery shell my husband keeps as a doorstop (....long story) (x2); tried to eat the postman;…

I feel like this should be the new “Negro community frowns upon your shenanigans” photo.

I DON’T NEED WHITE WOMEN TO TELL ME THAT I SHOULD BE TREATED AS YOUR EQUAL, IDIOT. YOU are the one obsessed with white people. I don’t have to bring them up to discuss the issues within our community. You know that wanting equality at home and at work, safety, and respect are not white things? You clearly don’t…

How is telling black men to treat black women better devaluing black men’s lives?

There’s no false narrative. Damon is not saying anything that black women haven’t been saying for the longest time. The fact that you are ignoring his writings and subsequently dismissing the words of black women is only proving his point.

So you gonna blame all that one feminism instead of the true culprit, white supremacy? You focusing on demonizing feminism has you overlooking the system that oppresses black men and women. Do you know black women go to prison too? That black women also get murdered by the police and that cop will also go free?

This is a great observation. We saw it with the Black Panthers and how the men shoved the women aside, even though the early work and activism was by women - the script that BLM followed, as well, with the same outcome so far - black men taking the forefront. Same with Civil rights, with many of the men rightly…

Why is talking about the reality of what Black women face anti-Black male? We are always told we’re being divisive when we talk about what’s going on. It’s a great way to silence us and nothing has to change. This has nothing to do with white people and what they want.

You know which group is playing the game of life on hardcore settings? Black transwomen. Those women get the knocks from every direction. I wish I had half their strength of character and sense of self. I do wish that indeed. I’m glad that I don’t need it though, that I have enough privilege to duck out on most of the…

This sounds very similar to the conversation currently ongoing in the LGBT+ community in that Gay Men and to a lesser extent Lesbian Women are the ones who’ve been the rallying cases of and the main benefits to initiatives focused at the community and that they’ve just as badly treated other minorities within the…

come on. Think about all the bullshit that women put up with because conditioning and sexism.

I wasted a lot of time not believing Maya Angelou’s famous quote: “when someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time.” Similarly, when someone tells you to leave them alone (“I don’t have time for a relationship,” “I’d be a bad boyfriend,” “There’s no hope for us”), you absolutely have to believe them…

Eh. She’s less obnoxious overall because at least she’s not faking anything. Also because she’s a kid and people were just trying to use her for a laugh.

I stopped watching the NFL a few (maybe 3?) years ago for much the same reason. The whole brain injury thing was what forced me to think critically about my fandom.
