Thank you! If there was some sort of “honest misunderstanding” she would have at the very least acted surprised her words weren’t received well. Nope, she knew she had a motive and was ready to be defensive and cut down a Black woman by claiming she’s bitter and angry. I don’t buy these women’s act. If she were good…

BOOM! And with that nasty response you just proved everything she said about you to be true. Fall back on the “bitter” black woman stereotype instead of simply remaining silent and realizing voices like yours are heard all too often or trying to reflect and understand some of what she was trying to say. I also dislike…

Thank you for your bravery and insight sis. I almost bought the bridge she was selling.

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 can’t even bring my self to softball with you because I’m just feeling like you don’t deserve it given the nature of this post. And whatever good intention you had was obliterated with all the typical white woman nonsense.

“A mother and father are not born after a child. It is a role earned over time through love and respect.”

A bi-racial (black /white) friend were talking about this. We both noticed that bi racial kids with black mothers are better adjusted in their identity. Which when you think about it makes sense. Black women have been raising bi racial children for 300yrs and running. White women have been raising bi racial kids for…

These days I’m not much for prayer but I pray extra hard for those Black babies with specifically white mothers.

I’m sadly going something similar with my friends who are white. They don’t mind me being a black friend or sleeping with black men, but I’m not equal on a human level with them.

This moved me to the core. I’m a light skinned woman but I am not biracial. Many biracial people have engaged with me like I am biracial and I was always surprised how much they struggled with being Black.

To be completely honest. I think his mother is a common example of older white women who have biracial children. Sleeping with Black men was something she “experimented” with back in the day. That resulted in two children...but ultimately, who she slept with didn’t change who she is and has always been...another white…

He’s non crazy and actually acts in accordance to his religious (LDS) beliefs, and seriously embraces people of different backgrounds due to his government career as a CIA agent.
Of course right wingers are not going to like him.

I’ve had such a hard time explaining to so many of my friends who the Nazis would absolutely come after that no, just because your skin is white, that doesn’t mean they wouldn’t put you up against the wall with everyone else they’re told to hate. People never think that far ahead. They want to think it’d end with the…

Jesus God of America. This gets all my rage. Willful ignorance just makes my blood boil. If you’re wrong, say you’re wrong. Own up to it. Don’t scream louder and stick your fingers in your ears. “La-la-la” isn’t a coherent world view.

This. Like, politically, having gone third party is barely better than having voted for Trump because the result is largely the same (i.e. you’re taking votes away from Hillary). But morally, it’s a big fucking deal that you’ll be able to look back and say you didn’t vote for him.

I find McMullin’s political career depressing - not because of anything he’s done, but because his miniscule following shows how tiny the audience is for non-crazy conservatism.

Evan McMullin and I disagree about a lot, but I will say this for him: he has opposed 45 for his entire campaign and has been vocally calling on his fellow conservatives to shut this down. He was on CNN calling out the GOP’s overall reluctance to dismiss racism - not just post-Charlottesville but always.

Good morning PJ. I had a similar relationship with my best friend’s mother until, for my own mental sanity I had to cut her off. My best friend is white and I am black and I am the godmother her children (if the unthinkable happens, my BFF wants me - and not any one in her family - to take care of her kids, lawyers…

*Hugs P3 and pours him some good brown liquor*

I get the drama with your mama thing just on a general level from hard-won personal experience. Also, you don’t have to agree on politics with your parents in general. That said, that your mom values Whiteness over her own kids and grandchildren are striking. Apparently, she doesn’t see anything in common between…
