I’m very curious as to your reasoning...since you waded in, tell me: Do you think your skin will flake off and disappear entirely if you wash it too much?! Also, do you think only your privates and pits have an odor? Have you rubbed behind your ear, your neck, behind your knees and smelled your fingers; you do know…

You weren’t/aren’t alone on the failures of Obama. What I said then bears repeating now: Obama let his biracial genetics blind him to the reality that white people will do EVERYthing to uphold white supremacy and they will never love him cuz his grandma was white (hell, he admitted his granny who loved him was racist…

As terrible (and typical) and prevalent as this crediting/compensation issue is in the music industry, do I dare say that Daft Punk’s publisher seem to be going above and beyond?! They seem to be saying they’ll do the research on what the Catalog Seller owes the artist from the purchase proceeds and will give that…

You can tell I’m going THROUGH some thangs because I haven’t read in MONTHS! ME! LoveHeals recommended The Third Life of Grange XYZ by Alice Walker and the library order came in last week but I couldn’t muster the energy to go get it. I am not myself.

Yep, unscathed.

I did all, and I do mean ALL, the ‘right’ things in all the procedural ways. And the ultimate, epitome, Über whiteness that followed was blinding, stroke-inducing and exactly all the worst things that Black people imagine will happen whenever white people just decide today’s the day!

“According to SF Gate, only three percent of the district’s students are Black.”

I was called Buckwheat, at work, by a blonde white woman who said it was a term of endearment too.

Done and DONE! There were some kinda cool entries in the various categories so it was worth perusing...

I want the feds to find some way to tie the presence of these weapons to every single one of the Insurrectionists as a way to send them to Guantanamo or give them the death penalty.

Absolutely correct! But it’s no longer about who’s dead or alive. They won’t release those docs now because it would be irrefutable evidence for the need for police reform, court reform and Black reparations! There’s too much predicated in maintaining the delusion that there are only ‘a few bad apples’ as opposed to…

Livonia got me for 5 mph over about 5 years ago too. The cop didn’t show but rather than dismiss, the Judge made me wait while she called him in (she wasn’t letting my money go cuz I showed up looking good in a suit). When I proved with written, dated & timestamped proof that I’d driven 4-5 hours from another state, it…

HiBill, STFU. Being the first white man to comment on every post is NOT going to derail nor set the tone of the conversation. I’m making you my mission.

Cuz that’s the analogy I was going for. Lemon is Fredo who betrayed the Black Family stemming from his own stupid self-esteem issues by intimating Blacks might deserve extrajudicial public execution for not looking/acting in white-approved ways. Now, a few years later, some people are being all Connie-ish asking us to…

Since I don’t know a lot of you new colonizers, let me explain how you AIN’T gon’ come on The Root and whitemansplain ME about Blacks’ history with jury nullification.

I love when oldsters tell us that they never counted calories or fat grams and always drank reasonable amounts of alcohol.

Years ago, a mama raccoon with her head in a Wendy’s frosty cup while her kids fought over fries crumpled in the bag in the carport space next to mine completely ruined a midnight excursion for me. Neither yelling ‘shoo’ nor activating my car horn would move them. In fact, the dad brought over his contribution from…

I read somewhere recently about a new movement toward employees publicizing their salaries amongst themselves. I love the idea of people embracing it. They were talking about an internal Google Doc but that wouldn’t help a prospective employee negotiate their offer. Imagine what gains women and minorities could make…

Are you low-key shading MLK by saying he was anti-Semitic on The Root?!

It’s a good thing the witness followed through. What kind of full grown carries a Sharpie? A tool who needs to be put in the toolbox of prison, that's who!
