I want to shake your Papa’s hand he seems like a great man.

I’ve heard a lot of well-meaning white people talk about how we should ignore the Nazis or make fun of them and I’m just shaking my head in disbelief.

I had a coworker who cut her parents off right after the election. She’s white, a lesbian in an interracial marriage (her wife is Latina). Her parents voted for 45. She was like “No, we will not be coming to your house for Thanksgiving, and I see no need for us to speak further.” She has 3 or 4 siblings who are like…

For real. I honestly don’t think kids owe their parents much, if anything. Why on earth would you bring a child into the world, and then vote AGAINST that child’s best interests, and still expect your child to accommodate you? Being the bigger person is great and all, but that doesn’t mean you have to sit there and…

Unsolicited advice from someone who survived a very necessary estrangement from her own mother: beware of anyone who attempts to convince you that you should be able to look past this. I wish someone had told me 20 years ago that “blood is not thicker than safety.” Thank you and good luck.

So when’s the Miley Cyrus statue in Brooklyn goin up?

Funny, since by sheer numbers and percentage, whites are greater users of welfare.

Home.

“That don’t make no sense,” I said to my mother later on. <<< My version of this was, in xtian school mind you, asking “If yall are teaching us the Egyptians are wrong, what are they teaching Egyptian kids?” Poorly received.

For me it was the constant insistence that women were lesser and also watching a gay atheist serve people better than any Christian I knew.

Addiction is the only way to see America’s lust for racism. But even when White folks hit rock bottom, they will always say “At least I’m not a niqqer.” And continue to hit the pipe.

It was the prison logic, contradictory preaching, the rampant anti-intellectualism, and the pastor groupies at EVERY SINGLE CHURCH that did it for me.

Right? I like hearing what the final straw was for people—for me it was the wide-spread promotion of White Jesus. I just couldn’t take that seriously.

We should go ahead and start the VSABS group (Very Smart Atheist Brothas & Sistas). This article is everything I am. We all know about the avoidance and heated discussions instead of a simple “ok” when told we don’t believe. I could tell you I have a severe “skin from the back of the knee” fetish and get some odd…

I don’t get it either. We have tons of options now. We don’t have to blindly follow this religion anymore, nobody is forcing us.

It is disrepectful to look upon the things that sustained our forebearers with disdain

It’s interesting because in Christianity you would think you wouldn’t want to force religion on people just based off the message yet the bible states (and i’m paraphrasing here) that the head of household should essentially force their family to worship the lord something along the lines of “as for me and my…

How in the hell did the slaveowners’ religion get so much goddam traction in the black community over so many generations? Incomprehensible.

I am an admin on a sports page on Facebook. A member posted a link to the conversation between Shannon Sharpe and Skip Bayless. I started trolling them because I enjoy the mental gymnastics on display when it comes to why Colin Kaepernick isn’t on an NFL roster by now. It devolved into this:
