I’d rather they had to pass a human decency test than have a mandatory retirement age. Age & term limits wouldn’t even be an issue if bad people weren’t admitted in the first place. Could have solved a lot of problems if they had to pass morals test before running for elections. Better yet...lead by example...most of…

Ungrateful, Self-Entitled, Selfish, Spoiled Brat...can’t even name all of what this this is made of.

I don’t know what’s sadder, having a president who thinks like this...or the fact that 45's followers think like him already or will actually believe anything he says.

When I was growing up there was a little mom & pop cafe that was basically for “whites only.” They used to have signs up saying so when my parents & grandparents were coming up. When the sign came down...the rule still remained. The only way a black person got in...was if they were the cooks. Back in the 60s a few…

Just Ranting

Uh...Facebook stop acting like you’re doing your users a favor “now” by creating a tool to detect that ya’ll at Facebook....gave them Russian ads in the 1st place. Facebook you sold out. And folks who believed those Russian ads most likely felt that way already & those Russian ads just made them feel even better about…

Heard another pitiful case like this earlier this year. Guy rather kill two innocent people, end up in jail so he wouldn’t have to pay child support. Both dudes could have gotten vasectomies or abstained from sex....if not having babies was so important to them. And they could have just walked away. It’s crazy how…

Didn’t say segregation or hiring all blacks. Create your own leagues means try something new with your own rules. Change up the draft list by recruiting everyday athletes vs just getting college students. Draft people who weren’t 1st picks. Create a league for players older than 30. Create new games. Don’t limit…

The work is needed and it doesn’t have to be hard...it just takes, simple human decency & a whole lot of self reflection. If we all had lived by the golden rule to: To treat each other how we want to be treated. Or treat thy neighbor as thyself and not to make them your footstool, we wouldn’t have this horrible…

What I did find on Smith’s page, however, were several videos filled with bizarre rants about black women. Like this one, for instance, from Nov. 13, where he claims (at the 4:45 mark) that “Black women’s mouth is probably the No. 1 cause of mental abuse in the world ... on the planet.” Later, at the 6:00 mark, he…

The colorism in that video is what concerns me most. In the video, it’s the voices of black men demeaning their own women. Those within the community are the voices that hurt women the most. The men may have been victims of colorism but they’re doing alot of damage, they don’t own up to. Wouldn’t consider there’s some…

I hope no one would want to be a sex worker by free will. And I feel sorry for those who choose to be. I also feel sorry for those who didn’t have a choice & were forced into it.

Afraid not, it’s only when it comes to men & color. If you get a promotion...she’s your biggest supporter. If I got all A’s, new clothes, a car... she’s all for you. Some man/men really hurt her self-esteem I believe. Just wish I could have protected her from them.

In 2018, we demand more. Some black women want a seat at the table, while others want to smash the table and rebuild something that centers the needs of black women, black families, and black communities.

The lack of answers is bringing me to the conclusion...that I’m not the problem there’s some self hate they’re really battling. As long as I’m not in the wrong, I’m gonna start taking myself out of the equation. I can’t keep putting up with abuse, my pain matters too. Until then I’ll just pray.

I have another concern about colorism that’s been in my mind for awhile. There’s different levels to it. There’s the colorism that the outside world throws out & also what we face within our community. Which issue needs to get solved first? I don’t really see Hollywood having a change in heart about complexion making…

No I don’t see all sex workers as victims, I just have enough empathy to realize that some are. Everybody has a different story. And if it’s their chosen hustle...I’d still wish better for them. 

I’m not assuming all sex workers are victims I’m accepting the fact that some are/were victims & they may have a story behind their choice or lack of one. Because they’re are too many little girls who were put on the street to be raped that got accused of wanting that life. There’s nothing wrong with asking yourself…

I really do hope some change comes from these conversations. I fought hard for my friend whenever she faced someone hurting her for skin tone. Even when she put mine down on the sly. She kept wanting something I couldn’t give her. There’s levels to colorism that don’t get discussed.

Well for one the video makes me angry that especially black men hate & stereotype their own women. It’s really just a cop out because they can’t get one of those beautiful women to accept their crap.
