I’d dearly love Harriot to reference this to some of his mailbag writers who claim the Blacks don’t have the intellectual brain power, never contributed anything to Western Civilization, etc. I know it wouldn’t make a difference but I’d love to read one of their more pseudo rationals try to justify why vaunted white co…

Looks like Ms. Young is on a mission and found the right attorney to join the quest. When you rob someone, a woman, of basic human dignity in such a wanton way, you make yourself an enemy with little to lose. I’m so happy that she has not faltered nor grown faint of heart. Maybe she can be the one to bring down the…

Since Michael spoke with Scott directly, he saw the eye flicker or heard the vocal hesitation & manipulation that comes when people are 1) flatly lying or 2) absolutely affirm your point but, for whatever reason, don’t want to fully agree or cannot concede.

Now picture how many times he entered Black people’s homes and treated them and their property disrespectfully? How many times he used the new material or untested technique that destroyed their property, cuz they were Black. Imagine how many times he wrote up a fire report that placed some fault on the Black property…

Something very, very bad happened to Marvin Scott III in police custody that so many of them got fired.

I can stand with everything this platform states!

Having a machine gun with the serial number obliterated [in his patrol car] seemed like the start to some kind of setup. Like he planned to shoot it & drop it then murder some Black folk claiming they fired first. Or some other supreme dumbness.

But did the baby say ‘Fuck’ at the end, with just the right inflection?! That’s the chuckle!

I never bought crazy quantities or items I don’t normally eat. But I did envision baking from scratch a lot so I bought yeast for the first time in my life. Completely unused! Zhushed up canned cinnamon rolls FTW!

A South African reporter said WHUH to a Black man? Oh, that's what I thought.

He’ll never believe it and he’ll never do it but Tyler Perry needs better, smarter, more educated, better-traveled, more sophisticated writers.

His pink hue tells me he’s probably drunk but something about those unfocused eyes and the fact he can’t really formulate a cogent argument for any question he's asked tells me he's drunk and really, really dumb. This dude literally couldn't pass the civil service test to get on at the post office. 

Why agree with him?!

Same here. A Jez writer completely deleted my post. Clearly they don’t just want an echo chamber, they want it to be a coffee klatch where insipid white women come to talk about their cats (with a little pop culture thrown in). Ok, no more clicks from me!

Giovanni’s review is <chef's kiss>!

I can’t seem to find it but This American Life, Snap Judgment or some NPR-related podcast I listen to had a heart-breaking story on just how blatant and upfront the FDA and/or whatever federal agency that dishes out farm loans and subsidies were in openly discriminating against Black farmers for DECADES. IIR, a former…

You’re strumming my pain but it just helps me know that they preoccupy us with stupid history about Washington cutting down cherry trees and memorizing dates so we won’t put all this together (and neither will their kids) and acknowledge just how cruel, inhuman, devious and insidious the whole founding, building and…

Why? Why is it that Black people think it’s cute to show and tell every intimate thing about ourselves to the world? My issue is with Black men. From Martin Lawrence’s obsession with ‘washing your ass’ to Eddie Murphy’s issues with women having fresh pedicures at all time, to rappers denigrating Black women for…

I’ve made bacon twisted around breadsticks which turned out well (with cheap, very thin bacon and slightly thicker than a pencil-breadsticks). I’ve also done bacon-wrapped asparagus well with better quality bacon. I’d try a bacon-weaved mat but I can’t really think of a good use for it...other than that apple pie…

The ritzy grocery store near me does a housemade smoked salmon dip that is to die for! It’s smoky, salty and creamy. With buttery crackers or toasted pita half if it gets devoured on the way home. But add a glass of crisp white wine and you’ve got most of the flavor profiles covered. For some reason, I love this snack…
