I didn’t notice he was trying to sound like Obama! Wow this dude is doing a lot and nothing at the same time. You’re right, he’s an on-sight placater. That’s indeed what works for his supporters because they want so badly to insist that the systems and institutions of oppression are actually an unfortunate series of…

Hasn’t he had the chance to change in 8-9 years? In those years he’s had an abysmal record in hiring Black police officers, his own constituents mention his office ignored the local NAACP, he has made no substantial push to court Black voters, barely any (like 6?) prominent Democrats of color have endorsed him. Why do…

This is why this behavior out of him in particular is fishy. His campaign is absolutely playing to the middle, salt of the earth, midwest, small town boy image (Read: A white person who is White). They’re not hiding that they’re hoping to lure Trump voters. Now his proxies can regale his base with the story that the…

What is he doing now that’s so different than 8 YEARS ago? He made a phone call? He chose to use go on camera to deliver antiblack comments which sought to erase both the tradition of academic interests in Black families and the impact of white supremacy on Black educational opportunities. But we should take our eye…

1. Essentially all American systems.

Nope, he can’t. He doesn’t a sticker for making a phone call when he already showed the world how he feels about Black people. The guy who said those things is the same guy on the phone.

“Stop facilitating the systemic generational oppression of our people and creating new ways to profit from our oppression.”

You don’t have to do this.

My aunt was interviewed and photographed for this story. She loved her job for a long time. Loved it. She’s the fun aunt of the family. We’d stop by her store to watch her do fancy stuff in the middle of fancy things; corporate suit on, bunch of paper work, keys to everything. And even as kids we noticed she was…

I live in Texas. Today is an officially mandated, ‘day of mourning.’ Some universities are cancelling classes, the post office is closed, my car wash decided to close out of respect. Our local channels can’t do anything else but kiss ass, our school district is asking us if we want to opt out of the plan to stop…

Are people just plain not reading the article? Geez.

*real tears*

You better put some respect on Montell Jordan’s name. That man gave us Fallin’, What’s On Tonight, Something 4 da Honeyz, I Like, Get it on Tonite . . . and each one of them slapped. He was Mr. Soundtrack.

Being a nupe explains why he’d be okay with wearing an item of clothing with a bunny on it, but there is No Good Reason Ever to be caught dead in a Black club wearing a White zippered cardigan. Especially not when your whole objective is to schmooze your way into a hood rapper’s good graces. It was wack & his…

The issue is not separate and considering it so reinforces and maintains the systemic and institutional mistreatment of Black Americans as victims *and* as suspected offenders. The premise is supposed to be one singular criminal justice SYSTEM- allegedly designed to provide equitable treatment to all. Black people’s…

Offensive. There are drug dealers doing life. This man killed a CHILD. 

I’m reporting live from your example. Not only was I Black woman at those BSU meetings back in the day, witnessing all types of Black men accepted and loved on, but I-wait for it- grew up to teach college and sponsor the AA student org. I am at work right now. Every semester at those meetings, and in the gym, and in…

The language you use illustrates the value you place on some lives that you don’t hold for others. Do suspects and criminals not deserve due process? Is instant execution a fair punishment for resisting arrest? If you’ve ever committed a crime, you’re a criminal. The word suspect can be used for any person a cop wants…

It’s more about the victim being a White woman than the shooter being a Black man. It is indeed a racial issue. There have been several incidents when Black victims have been fleeing, retreating, restrained, sitting whilst 12 years old, and regardless of the race of the cop, their deaths received no justice. The cop…

This angry bag of yeast is showing the Nice White Moderates for the umpteenth time that 911 is indeed White Supremacy’s customer service hotline. And like clockwork when the weapon she ordered turned against her she let them know exactly how little Blue Lives matter to these bigots. It’s all fetish and lauds until…
