I had an interesting thought yesterday and this article reminded me of it.

Your article was sarcastic and disrespectful to people who observe the religious aspects of Christmas. And my question to you is WHY? So what if your mother had other beliefs that were not of the Christian faith, to christians, Jesus is not”some man.” You are a full grown woman who is able to choose your own spiritual…

‘Racism can only be attributed to those in positions of power’ is way too narrow and unrealistic of a definition to be used when describing individual people and their individual experiences.

1: a belief that race is the primary determinant of human traits and capacities and that racial differences produce an inherent superiority of a particular race

I am originally from Indiana but I currently live in Harvest, AL. It is located directly outside of Huntsville. There is literally a cotton field in my backyard. Well, technically it’s right behind my tree line but same difference. Would you like for me to mail you a part of a cotton plant? Last year I chopped a…

My father, and my father’s father made their money in cotton. They ginned it, stored, and sold it. I loved visiting the office because it meant I could go out on the yard and see Percy and David. They ran things at the warehouse. They were two of my favorite people. I remember the one and only time I heard from father…

I’ve never given much thought as to why James Baldwin never rose to the culture conscious as the others you mentioned. It might be because he’s gay. That’s what basically happened with Bayard Rustin.

Another white (and in my case, not young) dude here. You got it.

Biracial sounds weird to me, I prefer mixed. My Dad is technically biracial, though he’s not that light. So, I guess I could go around saying I’m 1/4 Black.

I mean, when I was younger it used to really bother me to see biracial people not identify with being Black.

I mean, when I was younger it used to really bother me to see biracial people not identify with being Black. But, I’m old now and I learned you can’t contol people. Let people decide how they want to identify and we can all keep it moving.

Nah, read again.

I identify as MIXED. I ALSO identify as BLACK. Not one or the other. They are NOT mutually exclusive and they are both TRUTH. Also, you completely ignored my extremely valid point about Rachel whatsherface but ok.

I’m mixed. I mean I’d be lying if I didn’t admit that I have colorist privilege and people can pretty much see that I’m mixed. Nobody would call me white though, just like white folks didn’t claim Tiger or Obama.

Ok. So you’re mixed and you identify as black. cool

I’m mixed. I identify as mixed. I’m also blackity black. I also identify as black..

Either way, it’s not up to us to decide that because she is ACCURATELY pointing out that she is in fact mixed, that she isn’t black. Raven Symone can identify as not African-American but we all still call her black.

I mean, if we all…

I think how someone identifies when their race is clearly a point of discussion or inquiry is a little different from who/what they are in their everyday life.

So he’s saying.... it’s like that, and that’s the way it is?

Show biz makes my flesh crawl, and I’m glad I have a library card.

TBF, it’s hard to maintain a solid marriage with someone named Beth1027.

News flash, asshole: if something this minor makes you decide to “stop being a good person”, you were never a good person. You were never an ally, you were never decent, and you were never not a racist.
