We already live in a society that devalues art and the creative process. Where the mantra of “cheaper, faster, easier to consume” has become so ubiquitous and ever-present that people willingly feed algorithms a near endless supply of information and effort just to get a few likes on social media and the empty promise…

There’s no such thing as a positive stereotype, because all stereotypes limit and ultimately deny the experiences and truths of each individual while turning them into easily digestible traits for the ignorant and uncaring.

Except you didn’t explain anything or discuss anything. You accused me of something I didn’t say or hint at, and now you’re “closing the discussion” without writing anything other than “you’re wrong.”

When did I say black women had to make black men comfortable when black people are taking about how black men have treated black women?

I think it’s more “black man doesn’t want the problems between black men and black women mixed in or associated with the concept of white privilege.”

Intellectually, it makes sense. This country has always been patriarchal and focused on a constantly evolving forms of Racism and Classism, and just because we’re constantly being forced to the bottom of the pile does not mean that we’re immune to that structure and it’s influences. Black men do hold a higher platform…

More like “Is America Ready To Dehumanize Black Women and Force Them Into The Role of Magical Negroes and Political Scapegoats for Conservative and Liberal Agendas?” Because if history is any indication, that is far more likely to happen. And I don’t want to see a black woman’s resiliency get tested anymore than it…

It’s about time someone says it.

Maybe it’s far simpler than what’s being said.

^This.

Stop making excuses for their actions.

Said it before, and I’ll say it again. They wanted to kill, they set out to kill, so they killed him.

“Ghazali later told police that he shot at Dorian several times. He is scheduled to appear before a judge Monday morning.”

...But if he did do it like children do, why you just didn’t tell him he can’t come to the store no more?” the grieving grandmother added.

“You see! He was one of the good ones! He even loved a white woman! He was just about loving each other and not any of those social and economic issues and calling out white people as a whole for being complacent in a system supporting White Supremacy. He would have told those blacks to pull themselves up by the…

Children get scared when they get caught doing something they didn’t expect anyone to catch them doing. They get angry, upset, cry out about unfairness and pout. But children aren’t expected to be fully rational agents capable of thinking and analyzing situations and coming up with a thoughtful solution. They’re…

Reagan raised taxes after he implemented Reaganomics and allowed millions of illegal immigrants to live here with no challenge to their status despite seeking to close borders and put on tighter restrictions. But ask any Republican about him, and none of them will remember or admit his faults or dementia. They will…

I take umbrage with the idea that any of this is abnormal. All of this, from the rise of the Tea Party, the NRA’s influence in Republican based politics, the “Alt-Right” and creation of “Conservative Shitposters” like Milo Yiannopoulos and his parents Rush Limbaugh and Ann Coulter. This is the natural progression that…

Mike Pence can’t get racists, evangelicals, and the anti-government “I’d get a drink with him” Ayn Rand worshipers who constantly vote against their self-interests? That 30% has been there since the Dixiecrats turned the Republican Party Conservative, and they haven’t left since. They will always be there, because…

Good. It means that we’re excelling in a way that that white people and White Supremacy can’t compensate for or effortlessly apply old racist narratives to. And the more we excel in ways that are distinctly black, built without the need or concern for white approval, the better the environment becomes for creative…
