If this happens to you, and there is a video camera, admit your fear. The emotional trauma is compensable and can be the basis for punitive damages. It also creates evidence of the legitimate reason you are (for instance) not exiting the vehicle or not taking your hands off the wheel. Just because you admit your fear…

My father used to say things angrily that were too complex for my 3-4yo brain (non sequitors) like,”The Lone Ranger was a Black man” when I was looking at a white man on-screen. But as I’ve grown older I’ve realized that he, like me, just felt like he alone could see The Matrix!

“When did you first learn that Black cowboys exist?”

God that’s sad. I can feel the pain, hurt and betrayal in her voice. And the clout chasing thing has been an issue for awhile with BLM. I remember back during the Ferguson protests, professional trauma grifters like DeRay McKesson and others descended on the town and took up a HUGE amount of space, oxygen and media…

I don't trust any animal capable of killing me. That's why I have a cat and two guinea pigs. Even all together they couldn't take me out.

Sometimes you need activists and sometimes you need accountants.

We know how to clean and purify water and most places in the US have a water source. The issue with undrinkable water MOSTLY stems from 1) old, dilapidated water pump stations & other infrastructure failing, 2) corroded old pipes contaminating the water or 3) the pipes bursting and allowing contaminates into the flow.…

We’re seeing the real-time effects of a declining empire. It’s a sin and a shame that it will be a confluence of climate change, robber baron capitalism, weak, short-sighted, ineffectual (now disputed) government and the far-reaching tentacles of long history of systemic racism (segregation, redlining, defunding Black…

Ok, ok, I’mma let y’all finish but I just gotta say: nobody got a problem with him celebrating his first day lesurely with random non-Black chicks while his Black mama lifting and cooking 50 lbs of oxtails?!?!

I saw a short video on YouTube by Daily Gist where it was removed. Seeing a Black surgeon carefully and tenderly attending to a Black woman’s hair and scalp moved me to tears. I was certain her hair was done. He found a way to resolve the problem while preserving what was important to her. It reminded me of the sister…

Hi Larissica!

I went to school with a Jennica whose parents couldn’t decide between Jennifer and Jessica.

At least her name isn’t Tressica.

Wait... You’ve never known a “Tessy” or “Tessa” before? That’s usually what Tessica is shortened to. Here’s another black “Tessica”:

Is it me or does that shirt make her look like something out of Roblox? Shoulder pads back in style?

Don’t get me wrong, I enjoyed this video. So much so, that I’ve watched it over and over. My favorite part is the lady that says “OOOO, you got yours buddy” but in the end this white man gets to stagger home and so many of us don’t. We’re left with keys in the door and gripping cell phones as we lay dying. I’m sorry,…

According to the owner’s latest tweet that I know of, he advised that he did come at these folks in a professional manner at first. It’s his business. Plus, I’m getting quite tired of seeing folks “twerking” every damn where as if this is shaking asses, in a sexual way don’t lie, is black culture. Sheeeit.

I’m not feeling the houndstooth but I’ve seen some other pics over at Tom & Lorenzo that are beautiful.

I'm glad he received his flowers in love and praise before he passed. 

What does the King of Wakanda have in common with Alex Trebek...
They both wanted us to know to measure our strength and character from what we do, not what we hope to accomplish. Not to live in the moment, but know that at this moment you can make your stand in your own way with love in your heart, and people will…
