Pretty much.

Y’all all crazy.

“Whitey” and “honky”, huh?

You need to appreciate how many discussions go on each and every day between people of color and whitefolks that do not end with the POC thinking in such simple ass binaries. Folks of color speak every day in our — OUR — country with white people we know, work with, are friends with, and/or love. Do you truly think…

Yeah. Every time I attempt to “test” it, I do it to somebody else. This would be the lamest edition of an X-Men comic, but it really is like Rogue or some shit. I can’t go near a comment without sucking away their stars. Maybe it’s only what *I* see and it doesn’t affect them on their end, but it’s strangely…

EVERY TIME I CLICK A COMMENT, THE TICKER GOES DOWN. I’m taking away people’s “likes”. I feel like a Mutant with a weird ass superpower.

This is awesome. On another note, I clicked the star to recommend this comment and it ticked DOWN from 26 to 25. I did it three more times to see if my eyes were playing tricks, but alas, something’s wonky. Sorry.

Kanye’s peeps are already trying to spin the meeting with Trump as his attempt to get the President-Elect to do something about the violence in Chicago. Therefore, I will have to hear the term “black-on-black crime” ad nauseam this week. That phrase is my cue to click off or ignore a motherfucker when they start…

This is why I internally roll my eyes when whitefolks that I know come to me in dismay about being “mistaken” for a racist. When has being a racist ever hurt anyone ever? When has being accused of racism impacted anyone’s life beyond smarting a bit, then assuring yourself that the person doing the accusing was…

I know someone who was pretty sure her marriage was going to end at some point, but they only had one child. She wanted two, so she made sure to get pregnant so that her children would have the same dad. Got the second one through the toddler stage before they called it quits.

I sweatergawd Donald Trump has been the best thing to happen to commercial journalism in history. Don’t lie. He’s a veritable fount of clickity clicks for everybody. Enjoy that filthy lucre before we’re all dead from the inevitable nuclear war.

Tee hee. You don’t even see what you did there, do you?

As a teacher, I’m going to instruct you to review the weeks-old thread to see the particulars of my reactions and the child’s resultant punishment/reward for his behavior.

So stoked for her!

I teach high school and I can assure you that most people, students and teachers, are aware of those most likely to “go Columbine” up in there. Trust. The thing is, there is literally nothing we can do about it but wait. They can brag about their guns and since it’s #murica, we can’t say shit.

Real talk: my job, before I was a teacher, was standing security at MOA while Santa sat there in front of Nordstroms. He was a hoot and folks loved that particular Santa every year. One night, a white woman with an obvious wig had to drag her child away from the patrons lining up. She kept saying to her crying son,…

He’s been famous since he was a teen. I think he’s only “kinda” educated.

Here ya go:

I have a student, actually, two students who have been institutionalized this year and had “grooming” be an indicator of their wellness. The boy was told his hair was unkempt (and he’s a mixed kid with an afro!) and the girl needed to show that she could “get herself together” by wearing a bra and fixing her…

Meanwhile, my nose looks like a two-car garage and I’m staring at Adiche’s like, “If I got surgery...”
