Hunh?! Arguments do go off on tangents but let’s go back to the escalation: This rando chick can’t make a general statement about a long-discussed trend without this middle-aged man, wealthier and more powerful man stalking her and her family, harnessing his followers to harrass her and retaliating like it’s his…

There’s a bubbling, seething cauldron of antipathy, malevolence and barely-restrained violence in Black men toward Black women that is only kept in check by the thinnest tendrils of acceptability. 

She retweeted someone who listed him amongst several other people and she in no one said anything specific about him. But keep twisted yourself to believe that his actions are justified.

I’m sure there’s an overlapping Venn Diagram of 90's/00's hotep/misogynist rappers.

I think your point Damon has been the point that many black women have asked. Why when black men see other black men behaving badly that they don’t feel ept to call them out on their nonsense. Its not just this situation with Talib, but just every day cases where a man is cussing out a woman or cheating, or just being…

Fellas, please pick a new theme for next week’s episode of ‘How Could 2020 Be More 2020?’

Because and I am quoting a lot of tweet form black men when this foolishness was happening, “Black men don’t owe black women shit.”

Cops at time perform vaginal and anal searches because people have used those regions to hide weapons. So even being buck-ass-naked wouldn’t have helped if she had been black. That and there’s no shortage of hungry as fuck local lawyers who would have showed up and sued the shit out of the city because of her…

(to this day I can’t go barefoot outside knowing I might get glass in my feet, growing up in Detroit. this lady is full of white privilege!)

I can smell the patchouli through my screen.

White ladies and their...yonis. If they aren’t being sunfucked doing yoga or making a candle that is just a bit too hopeful then they think they can save the world with just a glimpse of vulva.

It’s like salt in the wounds, every time anyone on the Root and elsewhere points at white folks and reminds them “You had a part to play in this”, we see the grey trolls squirm their oily asses from under their bridges and start bitching about how unfair it is

It’s how violent systems are created by “authorities” whose “wisdom” are granted unconditionally and often enforced by violence and social castigation. Even worse, it  furthers and perpetuates that same system for generations down the road who won’t question it because they benefit from it and can’t question it…

I flag posts, but it doesn’t seem to do anything.

And that, people, is how systemic racism grinds down and destroys black families generation after generation. There wasn’t one segregation statute in play. There wasn’t one authority figure that used a racial epithet. However, the system excused what racial epithets were directed at this young child. The system…

This. A thousand times this. I get that my brain isn’t normal (I’m an empath, so my world basically revolves around empathy), but I just don’t fathom how people can read a story like this and not be enraged by the injustice or heartbroken by Darryl’s tragedy. And what about his grandparents? They had to bury their son…

This was such a painful read. I wish I could say I never heard an experience like Darryl’s before. This country disgusts me to no end.

Throwing “whataboutism” around is usually a way to prevent others from pointing out double standards and hypocrisies. I am one of those who think Farrakhan has a right to defend himself against groups like the ADL, AJC etc when they single him out; My issue with his response is his blanketing of “the Jews”. Any time…

Hurt feelings, they got hurt feeeelings.

Ha ha, Wendy went Karen.
