Not sure what was going through this one’s head,

Should have told the cops he was Chad Johnson....

he wearing a flesh colored Du-rag?

Oh look , they went with the “L’Oreal” Beyoncé.

An abomination is what that is, they didn’t even attempt to recreate Bey’s thighs and booty. Probably was scared.

She white.

Meh. My legs get like that, sitting on the couch for 16 hours watching TV and drinking lean.

Definitely and I don’t quite buy Romero’s line that he wasn’t trying to comment on race relations. Every one of his living dead movies made some sort of comment on society, he never just made a zombie movie. I guess that’s why I love his work, whether it’s bad or good, at least he was trying to do something different.

We’re all so proud of your ability to overcome. Your struggle is truly inspiring.

I am in tears. This tragedy could have been avoided. Several years ago, I experienced similar symptoms and went to the ER. They drew blood, did an EKG and told me it was heartburn and prescribed antacids. The weight on my chest was so heavy and painful, I drove myself back to the ER the next day. They found nothing…

I had something similar occur just after I graduated college. I visited the ER with chest pain, coughing with phlegm, and an excruciatingly high off-and-on fever. No matter how much acetaminophen, NyQuil, etc., I downed, I couldn’t stay within a normal temp range and then my diaphragm started to ache. So I took myself…

It was such a gut punch seeing what happened to Ben when I saw it for the first time. He ended up making it through the night while everyone else around him dead. In the end, he was shot and killed by the police officers. It went to still pictures as they disposed of his body. The hooks they used was a striking image…

I know we are not the first group of people to take a hurtful and negative word and make it our own, and through that ownership find solidarity and strength. But I would caution you to remember the origins of that word, the original meaning and intent behind it, and to have some empathy and sensitivity towards those…

Sue the fuck out of them.

In what broken world is inflammation of the chest wall, words the doctor actually used, with an unknown cause in an otherwise healthy teenager something that you don’t need to worry your pretty little head about? Oh, wait, I know. That poor family.

That poor child.

And that’s why I shrug when they get on TV boohooing about the opioid epidemic and shifting the blame to doctors over prescribing drugs. The good doctors weren’t passing out pain pills to black folks like candy because they believed we were lying about the severity of our pain OR assumed we were lying about the pain…
