Another “earwitness” phrase they’ll say is, “stop resisting” when they know they are in earshot, but not eyesight of witnesses. That justifies any acts they take to “subdue” the citizen.

Just another day...

Especially the fake ass black ones. I often wonder what type of loserly life some white dude has to be spending the majority of his time pretending to be a black person on a black website acting stupid. Dude, go take up a craft. Knitting. Woodworking...

Yep. I grew up impoverished, so it USED to be wealth. It’s now a whole slew of things that add up “personal contentment”. It’s amazing how many people go through this life without that. Can’t be physically, emotionally, socially, financially, sexually or intellectual content. Just “skrugglin”...I had to get out of…

Was Chris Brown’s home the same one that he’d just instagrammed a pic of the living room/department store of expensive shit of? Or was it another one?

The win is how you define it. Mental soundness? Financial stability? A self-esteem not predicated upon the white gaze? Or having the double-consciousness and knowing that you rate with both sets of perception. Getting over. Getting ahead. Getting beyond.

The racism part was while she was doing good. I said as much during the Go Set a Watchman brouhaha: You can have some noble as hell qualities and still hold shitty views at the same time. I know some awesome nanas and boppas of my friends that treat me like family, but in no way think that I am inherently equal to…

For a while I was grappling with some form of survivor’s guilt. More like a “thriver’s guilt”. I have the game sussed out but I have to make sure I’m not complicit in keeping the board the way it is. I’m knocking over pieces in my own way. And I’m winning like a muhfucka. Fortunately, I am in the position to educate,…

I always hit “show pending”, so it doesn’t matter if the person is greyed or not. I think fresh, engaging comments will be engaged with unless it’s like, 50+ comments down thread. It is true that the “first and funniest” gets the most traction (and I have an unfair advantage, I’m on summer vacation), but I think even…

I may have been greyed during the Great Jordan Debacle, but I actually think I’ve been grey since I created this burner. My previous incarnation was approved across the Gawkerverse. Whatev. Mr. Truther goes, “You’re the featured commenter on like 30 damn posts, so it means more that it happened from the greys.” I…

Hey, Elizabeth Cady Stanton. You’re still on my list of my “Problematic Heroines”! Remember how you were talmbout, “We educated, virtuous white women are more worthy of the vote” than Black men? And when you hit us with the “What will we and our daughters suffer if these degraded black men are allowed to have the…

That has worked for me so much. I gamed the system and came out so fucking far ahead without compromising my principles or snatching the ladder up from other POC (WOC, specifically). “But Ms. Truther, the game is rigged against us, why even play it at all?”

I’m mentally casting Kerry Washington. Her acting chops are stronger than Halle’s.

If she weren’t a sista, they would have already.

“Tell your mother about the orgasm.”

Word.

You know your chance of getting a divorce? 50 percent. You either will or you won’t. Fuck it.

YASSSSS!

Mo’Nique was asked to comment, in light of Lee Daniels saying that she was “blackballed” in Hollywood. Cuz SHE just got an Emmy nod, but he didn’t.

My daughter makes the goofiest portmanteaus like, “becept” and “prexactly”. I just go with them.
