I dated a mixed race woman named Amber. Not a Becky.

Don’t feel silly about being sentimental. The passing of local retail can be heartbreaking. Here in D.C., a trip to see the windows at the flagship Woodies (Woodward & Lothrop) at Christmas was an annual ritual. I remember my piano teacher getting misty at 80 years old about what it was like for people to make their…

I’m late with this story, but the BSU at my college decided to run a Spades tournament as a fundraiser. Small, rural college, with a limited African American population, so when I say everyone was there, I mean everyone.

“As the city of Baltimore did with former Secretary of Gangster Shit Omar Little”

Am I only one who is tired of her slagging D.C. for the lack of bodegas? There is fantastic breakfast here, in actual D.C., just maybe not the terrarium that is Capitol Hill. 

Buddy’s not the mayor anymore because he’s dead.

“closed a two-book, seven-figure deal”

“It’s oppressive, much like conversations with extended family members around the Christmas tree who may ask, “Who is James Charles?”

Maybe. But if you believe, as I do, that what “Trumpsim” represents - motivated white supremacy combined with economic protectionism and global isolationism - represents an existential threat, than it should be anyone else.

“A brief history of food: when the rich eat white bread and buy formula, the poor eat brown bread and breast-feed; then they trade places.”

I think she really believes that she’s on to something. I fully appreciate the history of people of color being exploited by the entertainment industry, but she’s way out over her skis. Entertainment isn’t like other businesses, and her wanting to, for example, get paid to promote her movies shows a tremendously…

I frequently look around, and feel like nothing has changed. That despite the suffering and subjugation of millions of my fellow citizens - through a prison industrial complex, state-sponsored violence, and the soft racism of diminished expectations - I feel like we’ve made progress at a glacial pace.

This woman has exactly no shot. At all. In any world.

Michael Wolff hinted around it in “Fire and Fury”, but it seems like maybe they’ve fucked, right? I’m not suggesting this couldn’t exclusively be a function of sycophancy or an (accurate) reading of the Republican primary electorate for someone who wants to run in 2024. But I get fucking vibes.

I’m late on this (stupid work!), but let just say on behalf of all white people, that this isn’t your problem to fix. We made the mess, and it’s ours to clean it up. Movies like this, which perpetuate Magical POC tropes for the benefit of irredeemable shit-sippers, can go straight into the fire with “Birth of a…

Over/Under on the number of times he says “the Blacks”?

Washington Fan here: I contend that the Original Sin committed by the team following relocation was keying off the two Sens teams, who were by all measures, shit. This locks you into a design prison of red, white and blue.

Also, WTF is with the shirt and jacket combo?

The Definitive Guide from your sibling publication back in ‘02:

Dude was allegedly moving weight, and I struggle to believe that once you’ve reach the level where you’ve got what, $60K in weed and vape cartridges around the house, you wouldn’t have gotten pinched for something, somewhere?
