Panama: have you considered that there’s some respectability shit going on with smooth jazz and bourgeois black folks of a certain generation?

I know that feeling, and sometimes—like now—I just sit with it for a minute, and neither wallow nor struggle to shake it off. But only if you can stand it.

That is the ringtone on my phone when my wife calls me. Everyone else gets the Beverly Hills Cop theme.

Ashycels.

Yeah, they literally jumped the shark with this one.

Doesn’t this open himself up to damning evidence? Something along the lines of discovery?

omggggg i’m so tired of white women calling themselves “wives” or “mothers” are yall anything else??????????????????????????? who gives a fuck if SHS is any of those things? she’s still a lying ass bitch.

One of my bosses is a “conservative” Black vet and he’s outraged that Cosby got convicted and began blaming the victims for taking the quaaaaludes even though kids in 2001 took MDMA other roofies. He’s even used the “but what about Harvey Weinstein” excuse immediately after hearing the news. At least the day after he…

The red hats are modern day white hoods. This is a generous take on the issue, and I admire it. I know how much I have internalized patriarchal and even some white supremacist thinking, and it’s taken a looooong time and a lot of work to see it and try to correct it. Still, I’m disgusted by anyone expressing support…

What kind of person calls the cops over a “game”??!!!

Which he of course, stole.

So, by that logic, if I ever want to describe a subset of a particular race or creed, I should refer to all of them as one so “they” will all understand. Cool. Let’s see how that flies on the GMG sites.

I once had a boss who said she hated books. I was thinking, “All books? Every book ever, in every genre?”

This is the part where I’m supposed to be outraged right? I’m not this shit happens to dudes daily. I say welcome to equality.

It’s probably borrowed from and a variation of an old Foghorn Leghorn quote (“wait a cotton-pickin’ minute”) that I used to see as a kid in reruns. So it’s probably not totally made up, but it’s absolutely stupid and ignorant as hell.

And it also can come off as a means to try and sound more authorative on an issue facing people of color.

Why does she look so much like Michael Rapaport?

White history books and southern books don’t recognize that it happened. They literally are trying to erase its history.

I do this neat trick that’s like the optical illusion where the same color looks like two different colors depending on the color it’s next to.

I think the JLaw example serves as a good one. Really Haddish’s behavior is not different than JLaws in terms of what’s considered “good taste”. JL does do the whole sloppy, drunk single friend routine and it’s treated like an endearing trait. Meanwhile Haddish does the same thing and she’s “too ghetto”?

C’mon. TH is a…
