Good, maybe this will put a damper on arrogant American Exceptionalism!

Between a porn shop and a crematorium. Absolutely perfect.

This is the shit white people are out here rioting for. This level of incompetency .

To white people, every group that they’re not part of is a monolith, but every white person is an island.

It would be nice if the Democrats realized what their winning policies are and who their base is... but they are not going to. They are already bitching about how the progressive ideas of Medicare for All and Defund the Police got them beaten in districts because they were called socialists and got clubbed with law…

What we learned is that many White people lied. We have learned that many Americans, our neighbors, our cousins, our friends, so called “allies”, “suburban moms”, “moderates”, “independents” are lying cowards who lie to gullible pollsters. The dishonesty and the cowardice is very much on brand for those that don’t have…

I’m biracial - Black and Asian - but I mostly got the Black hair. Think Frederick Douglass, who was also mixed, but didn’t get the loose curl pattern that a lot of Black people value higher than the tight coils which have never been “good.” When I first went natural I’ll never forget being called a “nappy headed bitch”…

We have to stop letting them define everything about Black people in denigrated terms, which we then adopt for ourselves, while their shit gets assigned glowing terms AND to be the standard against which all is measured!

Black Republicans are a thing. I dated one last year. She grew up on respectability politics, instilled it into her kids, and has mostly white friends. She likes being the cheery bubbly black chick around them. She complains about taxes, she thinks people are poor because they want to be, and all the other…

If black men thought more on being human beings and less on manhood, which is toxic from the start and brings us to the crux of this mess which Damon speaks, they could form lasting, beneficial kinships with black women, who are forced to think about everything and everyone but ourselves.

“This is the problem with having so many folks who have a platform because of athletic prowess or musical ability or entertainment/acting ability.”

I have given up on all humankind, this pandemic has shown “every person for themselves” is in full effect. But it causes me to be the BEST version of myself at all times. I already voted for Biden, I expect a great result on the 4th. But if Trump wins HIS life will be more hell than mine just like it is now.

I like this piece. I like the fact that you call out Harriot even if I think you went too easy on him. But I think there’s something missing: a discussion of toxic masculinity and misogyny. It’s not like this is new in our community (or honestly every other community. See also: Latinos and machismo) especially with…

My comment on Michael’s article is just as good, here:

I think this is simply a case of instead of being goodbye without leaving, it’s leaving without goodbye.

It’s not like she ghosted you..she replies on instagram, and sends photos..what more do you want from a non-relationship with blurry boundaries?

I hate to say it but I have to agree; I read this and the accompanying article and sent to my daughters because I’m a big fan of hers and so are they. I love that she continues to rise in an industry where the odds are stacked against stories like hers. But I’ve never liked hearing about how folks with money stay…

This article puts me in the awkward position of...feeling...bad(?)...for a multi-millionaire who didn’t get free shit when she demanded it? 

I think the issue is the tendency to only call out these things when they’re associated with white women and not the overall issue, which is Americans’ love for self-mythologising propaganda, and the fact that that American propaganda always features white people.

Some of us always double the amount of garlic a recipe calls for anyway :)
