Last time I looked at a Amy Shitmer comedy skit I’d say she was at least three out four of those descriptions.
Great article with nuance and depth.
If you lean into whiteness, if whiteness washes over you and claims you as one of its own, it’s hard to extricate yourself from your oppressor. It’s entirely probable that over decades of political brainwashing, quiet survival, and increasing rewards for keeping up the ruse, the model minority has become a…
Great article. I wish more pieces were written on this topic. To defeat white supremacy minorities have to empathize with the struggles of each group and become allies.
Holy shit! Best read all week! As good as it was to see expressed, it also highlights the obstacles to finding a bridge to solidarity between Asian and African Americans. We are both put in the Colosseum and told to fight, but only one has (historically) been Caesars favorite. How do I, as a Black man, find empathy…
I’m speechless. Thank you; that was tremendous.
I loveeeeeee it! With your 35 face. Keep blooming, girl!
You captured exactly what has been on my mind for a while now. I’ve been working on not measuring myself by society’s arbitrary deadlines.

Sister Girl,
This was CHURCH!!! Amen! Great article.
This is something so many of us need to hear! I finally understood and accepted these truths in this past year. Knowing is only half the battle, we have to accept and be comfortable with it!

EF ALL THAT SOBBING ISH!!!! I am 45 and just getting used to a LIFE of Freedom, Self-Acceptance, and LOVE of SELF. I am Sooo looking forward to 50 and all of its wisdom and knowledge that I will accumulate and share. Life is not these unwritten “ rules” to uphold and attain to; adventures rarely have an itinerary to…
It’s so hard to be original when you’re so contrived. White. You misspelled White.
As much as I love Puerto Rican Frankie Lymon and adore him as an entertainer and genetic win
White people won’t stop until they have gentrified all of the black neighborhoods in Brooklyn. That’s the plan. This guy doesn’t stand a chance.
Sorry makes no sense. If he really had to pay rent they wouldn’t wait until $24130. Probably told him verbally it was Free and put something else on paper in case they ever had to remove him. I’m a realtor and a landlord and the story stinks.
In the words of my grandmother, “Negro, please”.
