I mean . . . let’s be honest. There have to be like 27 negroes in the whole diaspora affording Netflix for the culture. And lots of them take that bill because it’s tiny and when they want that ride to the airport/your Tidal login/to use your address so their baby can go to a better school they’re quick to remind you…

I’ll go, but I know y’all understand we’re boycotting a mess of things right now. No H&M, no NFL, No Korean Beauty Supply stores, No White House, no hoteps (and I really miss my hotep cousin). I’ve been boycotting KFC and Dillard’s since the 90s! We have to vet these things, sis.

Totally valid.

Hey, friend. They were shysty, But we need to admit that she’s really more Black Famous than a draw for Netflix’s likely target. I think how much White people like you is more important than how hot or ‘relevant’ you are when the last major project dropped. Ask the next White person you see about Pamela Anderson. Not…

*Olive Pope voice* It’s handled.

“keep whining about race like every other loser who can’t take responsibility for their own failures”.

Yeah, they have the bread. I love Mo’Nique and would absolutely watch her special. But if I had one shot to beg the T-bros it would be to bring Underground to Netflix.

Ooh I don’t know about this one, Monique and Mo’Nique. Can a sista write a strongly-worded letter to Netflix or something? Is Luke Cage coming back? Does anyone know a bootleg man with affordable Black Mirror episodes? Nexflix, like most of the universe, was indeed on some bullshit. And yes, it probably has everything…

You’re right. An affirmative action is a much more succinct way to describe what is needed to raise responsible and conscientious people.

Let’s try it a different way. I don’t think you’re defending them. I think your belief that they exist is a self-protection mechanism that is hurtful to progress. You believe racists *believe* the information and empirical evidence in front of them is false. They are led by emotion. They have conformation biases;…

You make an important point. It is indeed a reflection. Whether the intention was there or not-this is how the combination of her parenting and her daughter’s personality, abilities, and world view turned out. I have kids and it always makes me laugh when someone congratulates parents for some fantastic thing the kid…

I think I understand better what you’re saying. I am trying to get you to understand that the language you’re using suggests that you still allow these liars the grace of framing their delusion into a legitimate position. I’m saying, they don’t get to agree or disagree. They acknowledge truth and facts or are called…

I’m not trying to nitpick, I’m honestly interpreting something other than what, I guess, you think you’re saying. It still feels like you’re saying that they honestly believe that issues of race are overblown and fake. As in, they have no information or demonstration that these things happen. We both know that is…

I remember him saying that. He can still be sensitive to excuse himself for previous rapey behavior, or maybe their marriage is open, God save us all. Either way, it takes a special kind of dissonance to soothe yourself by thinking women have such a complex code to unlock. I’ve been having sex since before Trey Songz…

“One thing about white privileged is that it is the ability —the option —to live a life where race just is not an issue. Where it just doesn’t impact you personally. There are a lot of white people that are stuck in that bubble. Blissfully ignorant and being racist as hell sometimes consciously and often…

Friend, that particular dude does need to STFU. He continually violates what is perhaps the number one rule in these situations: don’t center yourself as the victim. He did that here and got checked. Again. And when there’s another article and he finds another way to pretend that women are but a bunch of riddles and…

He is. We were trying to tamp down that apologist spark before some other rapey folks slow clapped it into a smolder, but here we are. Again.

You conveniently skipped over the immediate previous, and most important sentence: “My opinion is that I should shut the fuck up.” Those last six words should be a straight up mantra for you. You can’t honestly believe what he wrote can be paraphrased as he is incapable of ever knowing how any woman feels in a…

It’s a bird, it’s a plane, it’s . . . yet another Black woman doing a very obvious and important Right Thing that should be the responsibility of an entire nation of people. Mule of the world indeed.

My mouth is wide open. Ain’t THAT the damn truth! That’s that OJ right there. She let Maria Shriver call her sistagirl. She shouldered countless blonde heads, kissed all the white babies. She gave them cars. Cars! She let Tom Cruise jump on her couch and she laughed. In front of the world, Oprah? My neighbor tried to…
