But her complaint does not primarily connect to racism. It explicitly connects to misogyny and then secondarily to racism. As I mentioned in my comment, feel free to attack her on ideological and political grounds; she is still 1. people and 2. Black people. She should not be forced to endure sexual assault by any…
Sleight was so much better than I thought it would be. My nephew was hounding us to see it, so when I finally did, it was with an attitude of ‘alright dude! damn! fine. I’mma watch it.’ But I really liked it. I was surprised at how likable the main character was and at how well Dule Hill played bad. He was a very…
I love this gif. I’m laughing like a fool right now. Where is this from? I now want to see the scene in its entirety.
Good lord; I forgot about that Mighty Mouse fight!
This is bittersweet. they wait until decades after heir deed property laws and prodigal sons up north have destroyed the landowning base in the Gullah-Geechee nation to finally say, Oh yeah, they are people down there.
That’s my point. Publicly funded education should be of benefit to the students and the community. Believe it or not, Ballou is actually better than it was a decade ago, but parents in the area should still have better options for their kids AND Ballou should get funded in full like military bases get funded in full.…
You are pointing out that it is wrong to underpay people in service and manual labor fields, not that it is wrong to work in those fields. Your conflation of the two assumes that this system is the one we should continue. People should not have to kill themselves to make a living, but not everyone is interested or apt…
Well said.
I’ve read some of her short stories, but am always looking for where to find more to read online. I was never a short story anthology reader, so I usually find out about my favorite authors’ background stories WAAAY after they were published (Martin’s Dunk and Egg stories, the various POV and side job stories from the…
I know, because it’s not your concern. Anti-Blackness is not the life or death issue for you that it is for me.
I am a firm supporter of the concept of publicly funded and universally available schooling and work in the public charter school environment. I am also a firm supporter of homeschooling and have seen incredible successes among homeschooling families. Not everyone should homeschool, but neither should we pretend that…
clay’s ark was her second best book. i only enjoyed parable of the sower more.
Is his face not on his body? I’m in a house full of women, so there are moisturizers of various types and ingredient and I’m honestly confused by it all. Can’t I just put shea and/or cocoa butter on everything?
There are growing numbers of African-American homeschoolers who don’t want their kids caught up in all the white supremacy nonsense. You had a comment elsewhere about Ballou being a shady high school... but folks should put their kids there instead of homeschooling?
You damn right.
bought. can’t wait.
yup
Right. What I realized just a couple minutes ago is that this is as much about “stop saying you are going to do it” as it is about “go do it,” and perhaps even more so. Are you pointing out the ‘new year’s resolution’ effect, that if I tell people I have this new resolution, I get the emotional benefit of fulfilling…
Yup. And I’ll keep saying it, mostly to other men. But talk is cheap and all that. Y’all don’t really need to hear it; y’all need to be able to see it.
