So does Starbucks... I don’t go there either...

A Nigerian born midwife relayed a story to me a year ago about her experience working in Europe. She told me that she was re-training to enter another career as a number of white expectant mothers did not want a black midwife at their delivery because (her words) “they did not want the first face their baby saw to be…

Loops> My response to you:

We are so used to hard times and constantly having to be strong (alongside dealing with the omnipresent threat of annihilation by white zombie cops) that you know we are going to be amongst the survivors if there’s ever a zombie apocalypse.

I never realized how lucky I was until I read about Trump trying to repeal Obamacare. My sister has to attend four different hospitals for heart issues, lung problems, lupus, and kidney issues and she is on so many different tablets and had over 100 hospital appointments last year. But, she pays nothing. It is so…

Yep - I’m right there with you.

I suppose that if you use a derogatory term to refer to yourself, then no one can hurt you if they choose to use the same word against you. I can only surmise at additional reasons as to why black people use it (other than reclamation). It is somewhat similar to a person with a weight issue who may refer to themselves…

You act as if black people are powerful players in the arena which is white supremacy. Nothing in the black narrative has the power to influence public opinion on Tyson, Cosby or Kelly. One thousand black people (including celebrities) could scream their support for these people from the rooftops of New York and it…

Thank you and the same for your close relatives. I’m only glad I live in a country where we do not have to pay in the same way as Americans do for health care. If that was the case my family would be bankrupt. I really do not know how black Americans manage.

Firstly, What’s conspiratorial about it - it’s completely out in the open.

I meant a breath of fresh air - not breathe!

Surprise. More white kids behaving badly on video. You would think by now that at least these little snots would know not to go live, but in this day and age, it’s not real unless it’s been documented on Instagram or Snapchat.

Some of the people coming out in support of Harvey Weinstein:

Wonderful news - Hope they make some progress with Systemic Lupus too (which my sister has) which overwhelmingly impacts women of color.

There could be street cameras, body cameras, secret wireless cams, 3G cams, cams with integral recorders - it makes not one iota of difference. White people know this and they know their police know this. In fact, the reason why the police now have cameras is so that they can upload their brutality videos to a USB…

In short - Yes.

Don’t be so f’ ing dense. I have not only lived in mostly white areas, I have also travelled the world. From Europe to North America, to South America to Asia to Australasia - same white shit on a different continent. All the time.
