LOL. My dear, you see it when they “recycle” partners and wives. Emmitt Smith’s wife is Martin Lawrence’s ex. Tracy Edmonds (Eddie’s ex) and Babyface. Ballplayers and rappers, too. It’s such that dark brothers are demonstrating “character” and not being “shallow” for loving a dark woman because she’s not “glamorous”.…

Now you know how we do so Ima find one thing to respond to so you’re not reading my reams of writing. Lol. “Solange’s garbage child”, I’m gonna borrow that. I only knew it was him cos the pic was juxtaposed with Skai’s in whatever gossip rag I was shamefully reading. I really went online to make sure since I was…

Not to belabor the point, but I remembered I put an asterisk by Bianca Lawson’s name. She plays Blue’s mother on Queen Sugar. She’s Tina Knowles-Lawson’s stepdaughter (Richard Lawson’s child) so it all ties in. Have a beautiful rest of your weekend.

Thank you! They got you too, huh? Lol. Honey Chile, I want my time, energy and peaceful spirit back. I don’t even drink but I feel like we could get together for some tea, juice, ginger ale, something for an impromptu support group after that mess. They both have talent but it was misspent here. Your last sentence is…

That sounds really nice. I worked for an airline for over a decade and unless the city was officially closed, we were required to get to work. In advance of a storm that could potentially make roads impassable, we were booked in hotels nearby for a few days. The city was rarely closed. 

Sorry for the delayed response.

(Ooh wee. I just got done typing. We may be all typed out for the next 3 years. Lol.)

Yeah, I don’t see how anyone sees him as anything but an embarrassment to our city. His interest in justice reform seemed to be only because of his experience. He’s demonstrated misogynoir, he’s made a homeless man do push-ups for $20, he was miserly towards youth selling water in Atlanta traffic. All Black folk. I…

While I was glad Pusha T hurt Drake’s feelings, I’ll forever hold that disrespectful album cover against him. He would never, ever have done that to a woman of any other race. Plus as a supposed gangsta, playing with people’s mothers and their deceased loved ones are war declarations. 

Here’s the thing: I’m not oblivious to colorism or preferential treatment of our biracial kin. Hell, I don’t call myself brown. I’m dark-skinned. Brown’s apparently new, euphemistic way to say it so no one takes it negatively since dark and black are routinely used as pejoratives instead of simple descriptors. I also…

Oh, I hear you and I respect your decision to hold your position in view of what you’ve just said. I don’t doubt that she’d like some money; I think she’s entitled to it irrespective of her own finances because of the harm done to her. I don’t think you’re trying to invalidate her case: you’ve shared countless fiery…

The problem -as is always the damn case- is that these Republican fools drag our folks and others innocents into their mess. I’m so freaking tired. How hateful and inhuman do they have to be before some of their own say, “enough” and actually MAKE them STOP? I’m stuck voting for Democratic leaders who are generally…

Sorry you and others are suffering through this unnecessarily raggedy situation. Can natural events be stopped? No. But I had no idea y’all weren’t connected to the national grid. As big as Texas is I presumed taking care of people was a no-brainer for full functionality. Some of us are vacillating between sending…

Deep sigh. It’s all so exhausting. I’m not trying to be cute...how can people be: a)unmoved by suffering & b) defend anything as long as someone they like? Rhetorical as it’s not even worth your energy diving into the slime that pass for brains with these people. They really, really just don’t bloody care. It’s not a…

Thank you. The terror and psychological intimidation from this alone strikes me as helping the abuser who gets to pretend to be amenable to compromise.

I’m willing to extend her grace because I can see why she’d go that route. She’d already been subjected to vitriol for being the “usurper” dated two high profile White men by rabid White fans who were indifferent to the fact that she’s half-White. We also know how the ashy misogynoiristic patrols characterize sisters…

This article is important because it helps to debunk the insidious and classist lie that “White trash” (which is only ever deployed against poor, “uneducated” White people) are the main supporters of Limbaugh, Trump, and company. It ignores active invalidation and systematic destruction of Africana/Black and other…

This is unlikely to earn me friends here, but here we go. I was excited about Malcolm and Marie, didn’t watch the trailer, etc. I expected some sort of payoff from an epiphany, catharsis, productive resolution. Nope. Instead, I was treated to a White male director’s masturbatory spiel on Great Whites in Filmmaking,…

Absolutely! THIS 100%

Oh, I’m so happy for you. Aside from the freedom from the continuous loop in both experience and environment, you got to create new, (hopefully) healthy neural grooves and experience how much larger the world is than the artificially stagnated one you knew. It’s so courageous to do. I hope it doesn’t sound…
