Mr. Jasper, you are a genius and an inspiration. The Isley Brothers would not be nearly the same without your contributions.

Dude lives out in Monroe. Mostly old, white retirees out there. More 55+ communities than I’ve ever seen in one town.

Thank you, Alex! Thank you! Folks out here acting like they ain’t got no home trainin’, no broughtupsy, malcriao, etc. First of all, it’s bad etiquette to be willy-nilly inviting extra people to the theoretical cookout last I checked. Second, I’m tired of black people fawning and drooling over white people…

“the stats don’t match their feelings”

I’m partial to sugar in my grits, although I like salt and pepper in mine just as much, but I can’t front, I’d try grits with all those things in them. You piqued my interest with the bacon.

Exact opposite of how I make them lol. I actually don’t mind a few lumps in mine though, as long as they’re not chewy. I come from the cold water tradition via Mom Dukes via Nana. I dump them in cold water and start whisking them right away as I turn on the flame. I stir until it comes to a boil, add some condensed…

As a Cream of Wheat lover, I would love to try your mom’s Cream of Wheat. That’s a dope combination of ingredients.

Damon Young, I hate you. 😂😂😂😂😂

NWT, you’re so opinionated and contrary. 😂😂😂 I respect it.

Always finger-wagging the Black community. It’s baffling. You know so much about the Black community in spite of not really knowing or living among any black people,* yet when I say, “You know so much about the Black community. Tell me, what are the white community’s problems? You have so much to say about others,…

I understand what you were trying to say.

And if at least part of his purpose was to get brothas to respond similar to how white folks generally respond, well, it would be effing brilliant if weren’t so easy lol. Too many brothas proved his point here. Self-awareness is not a possession of all people.

In the interest of intellectual honesty, I respect the move.

The crazy thing is that it wasn’t even that long ago that there was no line separating socially unacceptable and socially acceptable forms of white supremacy. Some of the covert forms didn’t even exist. They’ve only come about as we’ve struggled against it and made “progress” and it has had to be refined or made more…

Ehh, I’m modifying my stance on this article. I responded before I got a chance to digest it and think about it critically. What I said about recognizing my male privilege still stands, as does my using my knowledge of how racism and white supremacy (which disadvantage me) to inform my understanding of sexism (which…

Can’t even find fault with what you said. We as black men definitely make for conspicuous targets. Blackness + maleness = danger for some effed up reason. And we’re perceived and dealt with differently because of it. I acknowledge whatever valid points this article may present, but I don’t co-sign it as a whole.

Was it prevalent? No one can deny that it happened, but was it as prevalent, common, or widespread?

You’re right. That title is serious clickbait.

Don’t know your race or ethnicity, but that is a very “white” response. If you’re a black man, you’re proving the point of the article and the irony is lost in you.

I couldn’t find any lies in here either.
