I immediately googled Grams Irrels and wondered if he was a youtube artist.

Btw, I responded to a person telling me to leave America (the “flailing” attempts at white supremacy is that parting shot of “go back to Africa”) and THIS is what you, a person of color, decide to defend? Hmpfh.

I’m looking at the nadir of white supremacy. It is flailing because it was failing. I will aid the other folks —mostly white folks —in dismantling it. They were the engineers of it, so will have to be the saboteurs. And after the tears, the rubber bullets, the blood, the compromises, the truces, the rebuilding, I…

I tell ya what, tho: there is the blindness of gratitude. To be a fleeing refugee is to throw your arms in relief and supplication to the nation that accepts you. And that nation will use that effusive thankfulness to throw in the face of their abused and oppressed citizens each and every day. If you been here for 30…

LOLOLOLOLOLOL!

Pro Tip: My exasperation is not an attack.

I’m doing an internal monologue admonishing myself to not judge newly-disillusioned folk too harshly. America has NEVER been America to my black ass. We done TOLD y’all! Now....NOW?!...you starting to believe it?

Not sure if he realizes that whiteness can be revoked.

Civil war, race war...whichev.

No. We got supposedly progressive leadership whose pronounced ideals are markedly different from the practice. It’s been...interesting...to observe.  

I am fortunate to teach in a district where I make corporate money, so it’s a win for me, regardless. I just wish they’d take a chance on other minorities like me. I’ve been trying to convince more black chicks to join me in the profession, but they hit a wall at hiring. They LURVE us in dean and disciplinary…

“The hard thing in trying to illuminate that racist mindset was where upstanding people of the day were raised with these really racist thoughts. I tried to describe this world so that white readers could understand that your own grandparents and great-grandparents thought that way too. The majority of the white…

Inner-city high school. Minority-majority school, one of a handful (as few as two and as many as five) black teachers in the last 19 years.

Expand[ing] the group of candidates “requires taking bets on new people,” according to Bornstein. —

It’s 3.5 billion dudes out there. I can only have one at at time, so I could care less about one negro’s feelings about me. I only gave Donald Glover’s boner a glancing consideration. But I do think he’s amusing.

It’s not just Paladino. It’s that Texan anesthesiologist lady and the chick that was a mayor out east. And countless other white women that assuage their latent envy/jealousy with the “he could NEVER choose that she-beast over ME.” The “black women are gross” propaganda has been going on between white men and white…

Don’t.

Did he include a bit about trying to date a, you know, actual black girl?

After flying home to take care of my father this past weekend, I wonder if those folks are thinking about the presumed “natural” order of things: You partner up, you have a child, you take care of the child, then the child takes care of you. Who will take care of the Shoe Pilots in their dotage?

Babies are dope. I feel ya.
