yup a top hat always says plantation wear to me. or was it her skin color, an older white man and a baby that cemented the plantation connection.—its offensive that a photo of a black woman in that dress would freak you out so much.

so she should’ve had an abortion...because why?

its 800 square miles, do u really that there is nothing there? Or that no one lives there?

Then why does this guy think he can build an agricutral research center there? Wouldn’t Virginia be a better place for farming?

don’t nomads live in the desert for weeks at a time? And I read somewhere that nomadic families travel the same routes year after year.

its 800 square miles. someone has lived on that land, probably for generations. But they’re probably to poor to buy it and declare themselves king. Is he even living there himself? And if its disputed territory, maybe the people who sold it to him didn’t have the moral authority to do so.

I get what you’re saying. I have MS and went gluten free 3 months ago. And feels like a miracle that I want to share with everybody, especially my friends who have MS. Its just mind blowing that something that I ate everyday and all day was making me sick. I go a week without it and ten years of leg pain and numbness…

What? I didn’t know that one should avoid gluten if they had Hashimoto’s thyroiditis. I was diagnosed with that over the summer. I also have MS and about three months ago I started Dr. Terry Wahl’s MS diet, which is a very specific paleo diet that eliminates all forms of gluten. Its been incredible. The pain in my…

I think a lot of parents of all different races would react the same way if they caught their kid doing something bad enough. I saw a white woman shake the shit out of her daughter once at target for shoplifting and the manager was just standing there like ‘get her’.

Its just you. By the time they’re ten, some kids need to get knocked back into their place. I thought many of times “Just spank him and get it over with”

Mom is soo on the right side of history. Especially considering that the young people who participated in sit-ins trained themselves to sit passively by while they were being verbally harassed, spit on, and even hit. During the civil rights movement in the south they knew that any act of aggression was all the Jim…

I guess you never experienced the power of the snatch. She snatched him up, which is an old parenting tool used when words simply won’t do and the child needs to be reminded of their role as the child and your role as the parent. It re-establishes order and balance. And is usually followed by a hug and an apology.

Ha, walking into class the next day after that must’ve been hell.

you mean the words of the oppressor? Even though black people have used the word thugs to describe gang bangers before Tupac and Bone Thugs n’harmony. Seriously what other word does black people use to describe thugs other than thugs?

Obama, the president, the most powerful man in the country, has really disappointed me during this season of police brutality. No congressional hearing on the investigative process for police shootings. But Dr. Oz got called to congress for cranberry pills.

It could be about both, fear for her son and disappointment that he’s out there making trouble.

Black on black crime was a term invented by black people. Its a term that refers to our recent pass when black people came together in the civil rights movement. We showed unity and togetherness and bother hood in the 60s’ and 70s’. But in the 80s’, with the growing crack epidemic, gang culture, and violence, our…

I totally see where you’re coming from with this self-hate argument. But there is another reason why older black people use the word ‘thug’. Black people are victimized by other black people in black neighborhoods. Their cars are stolen. their houses are broken into, and they’re raped, beaten, and murdered in their…

I use to love this show...but its like The Wire it just leaves a bad taste in my mouth. I enjoy despite all the blatant racism running all through it.

haha...I thought this post was dripping with rich white lady overthinking
