Sadly we all have Sharons in our lives.

Please don’t apologize for other people’s shit behavior. That’s like me apologizing for the shit behavior of other black people. And it is exhausting. Just as exhausting, I would imagine, as feeling as if your every move, statement or even appearance is a reflection of your specific race or ethnic group. I understand…

When did I call these people racists? Of course you can have your own opinion. Black people aren’t any more of a hive mind than white people. But the number of people bitching about these protests on my feed have been white. These are the same ones that post up Blue Lives Matters memes and blame the current level of…

The fact that you consider this a dumb joke says pretty much everything about how much you actually call out racism. You’re letting people who are old enough to know better off the hook for being disrespectful, racist cunts because they’re just kids being stupid. No. They are people being racists cunts. And then…

The people around her are looking to cash in, pure and simple. They’re ride this gravy train into the ground. Hopefully someone will be smart enough to invest some money for when she’s older and way less way less marketable as a minstrel show but I doubt it. I predict of future of expensive shit that ends up pawned…
