Thanks! My people are from South Carolina (a tiny country ass town near Marion) so I think I know what you mean. I think one or two of them voted for Trump, but ain’t nobody admitting it. Love them, but mad hurt.

I agree with you, but don’t think that this applies to Paris. What if she didn’t just wake up black? Seems like (from what she says) her black dad told her to embrace her blackness her whole life. Her whole family on her dad’s side is black. Why we got to pick that apart? She misses her dad and his blackness part…

Hell yeah, I’m crying! I feel her as a former dark skinned girl, now a grown ass dark skinned woman. That shit eats away at you and damages you. Especially when it comes from within - like from your g-maw or aunties or friends and shit. That made me tougher than Teflon, though. It took a long time, but now I can…

I feel you, but it is so tempting to want to watch the chickens come home to roost. We gon’ always be alright as black folks, but watching this collective conniption has been my solace.

Ok, cool. Coming from a black perspective here.

Computer2, do you really think they can’t see your humanity? Supremacy has to have an inferior. They think that blacks are an inferior human even when they aren’t practicing outright racism or bias or discrimination.

If your gut feeling is gifting a Visa gift card to help with her financials, do that! Trust me, your friend is not worrying about the gift you give her being trashy or inappropriate. She just lost her g-ma, who gives a shit about social mores? Probably not her at the moment!

I appreciate your response. Like, a lot. And I know it hurts to be generalized and lumped in but that is part of a struggle that we all deal with everyday. I have to account for all black women somehow, but in reality I am just a singular, independently-thinking, human as fuck person just like I can tell you are.

This isn’t an attack - please try to understand where I’m coming from. I was fucking heart broken when I saw that the white women vote is what swayed the election for Drumpf. That some people hated my black ass more than they hated a misogynistic sexual predator. You are correct tho, black folks weren’t that…

Drumpf may not have been elected if ya’ll weren’t such Johnny come latelys. Maybe this should’ve happened before the election? Or maybe a big show of support (something of this march’s magnitude, perhaps) for something like I dunno unarmed people of a certain race being killed by the cops on a regular basis,…

Roy, even if he meant guerrilla how in the hell is that any better?

Worth a listen...it’s kind of hit or miss with the other episodes, but this one was hilarious.

Listened to it, was turned off and intrigued at the same damn time. The How Did This Get Made gang appeared on Anna’s podcast in kind and that shit was hilarious. Way better than her appearance on theirs. It was her birthday and they seem to have recorded both podcasts during the same time frame. Thinking she was…

According to white peeps, as a black woman I have a race card. When I play it (like UNO or spades, I guess), gets me jobs and all kind of shit. Crazy, huh? And I personally don’t talk about the everyday racist micro-aggressions and overall passive aggressive bullshit dealing with white folks, especially in a…

Damn...THIS!!! Makes me wanna holler and/or cry sometimes, yo

Whoo! I just felt like I was in the hair salon reading that. #Drama

I think you are picking the wrong battles to fight. That is all.

I just read that whole interview. When that quote is read in context, it makes total sense and doesn't seem like misogyny - imo. I love the song and video, everybody looks like they were just having fun.
