I see the hit dogs are squealing at the top of their lungs this week. Them and the greys alike.

There are only three reasons that anyone would conflate blackness with undereducation, laziness, unemployment or dope dealing:

Ain’t enough rice on earth can fix Alabama.  America should have gotten insurance on the state when they admitted it to the Union, I’ll tell you what.

i wish we could step back and not always claim respectability politics especially when we know (or should know) there is a lot of toxicity in a lot of the ratchet/entertainment we consume. theres a level of self destruction and self hate in a lot of the ratchet that we seem way too willing to defend. im not gonna…

you could look at bumping into someone else as a time to shine, dig deep to find the energy to be polite and defuse tension, take that moment of physical closeness to get emotionally close by bailing you both out of what could be an awkward situation, make their day better rather than worse, and appreciate for just a…

I wish that cop could be charged with his death as well. 

This is bone-crushingly sad.

How dare you!
I sleep on an Ikea bed.
I am typing this on a desk from Ikea.

If I knew how to ban someone from kinja, I would.

In theory, it is more effective to have…

This child (and any others in his care) needs to be removed from that home. A person that feels this level of entitlement over another person’s body is possessive. When it is a man specifically trying to exert control over a woman’s sexual and reproductive rights (however fashionable), through force (subjecting a…

I can’t.  Too busy vomiting.

Very nice close, Maiysha.

That is fucking disgusting, holy shit. Control is not love. He's teaching his daughters that it's okay for a man to treat them like property. Shame on him and the medical professionals that enable his abuse.

What I am hoping is that the Doctor told the creepy and ignorant, yet still rich and powerful, T.I. what he wanted to hear and kept confidentiality with his patient.

Not many black people in KC asked to have their addresses changed without our consent. I certainly didn’t. It’s as simple as that.

Because the mainstream takes Black people extreme capitalism and turn it into something racial/horrible/pitiful. This bullshit with the bullshit Popeye’s Chicken Bullshit Sandwich is no less ridiculous as mostly white people acting a motherfucking fool on Black Friday, IMO but the mainstream reaction to it is not the…
