Trotting out the military as props is like Politics 101. Their families are inherently sympathetic, and Soldiers get virtually no say in what they are told to do (if someone tells them to go stand next to the President and have him pin on an award, that’s what they do). Plus politicians can funnel all sorts of money…

In the words of Tig Notaro, those words had to pass through so many filters in that woman’s brain before they came out of her mouth. It makes you concerned about what their thoughts really are. If any. 

Yeah. It seems like HR, at its best, should serve as an employee advocate, but I know it doesn’t always work out that way. Plus, it gets complicated when they’re also the people tasked with hiring and firing.

Blaming education or a lack of minorities interested in tech minimizes the stories of people who have been driven out of their fields by this toxic environment.

Cut them some slack. People are just animals who invented pants. Don’t expect much, and you won’t be disappointed.

What happened to Leslie Jones was inhumane. The amount of vitriol lodged at her made me so disgusted with all of humanity. Further, why must wypipo always offer up their opinions, as if the world needs any more of them? And most of all, why must wypipo always, always, share their opinions on race? Do you see me…

120 billion dollars in FHA home loans given to 99.9% white families by our government as part of the New Deal is one of the largest handouts given to whites. The GI bill is another handout which provided education to those who served paid for by our government. The majority of recipients? White men - while blacks…

I’m always n+1 cookies away from being happy.

TAKE THAT AMERICA

I am ready to pre-order “Michelle’s Guide To Being A Classy and Intelligent Black Woman in this Backwards-ass Country” and “The Obama’s Guide to Keeping Your Marriage Crackin’”

Tell it all, Michelle. Tell. It. All.

Found the prefect title for his memoir.

It’s a handout if you’re “given” the benefit of doubt from the onset. But, I see what you mean and it’s an interesting take.

They go something like they worked hard for everything they have since they were 13 and no one ever gave them anything and they worked their way through college without a handout and opened all their own businesses and their granny came here from the old country with nothing but 2 cents in her pocket and couldn’t…

economic class resentment is an elephant in the room among blacks (at least from a lot of what I’ve observed)

You just basically described Lee Daniels and seemingly his whole purpose for existing (which is why I watch nothing he does )

I agree with you, frankly. I have a white partner, but I’d like Hollywood to do more films about functional black couples (like my parents & other married couples throughout my family). At this point, whites are depicted as having functional, normal families, while black folks get shit like Precious. I know a large…

Well this director in particular has an obsession with interracial romance. Her upcoming film w/ Amandla Stenberg is about a Nazi who falls for a black girl in Germany.

Unpopular opinion that I’m more than willing to take my lashes for, but how many films do we really need to see about miscegenation being illegal in the past? I mean, we get it, damn. I think there are much more important stories to be told about black people.
