I’m with you on that...Hoping someone dies can only bring bad karma back on you. But...for him to get a good old fashioned ass-whipping...that would seem like redemption for him being such an assclown over the years.

Definitely. Priest’s run was excellent. But Coates brought a different type of awareness to the series that was necessary for today’s times. If you read Coates’ version without the memory of Priest’s work, you get a different feel for it.

Even if you’re not a nerd, his writing on The Black Panther has literally changed the game in terms of writing for Black comic book characters. Highly recommended.

I would start with his Atlantic piece on reperations. https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2014/06/the-case-for-reparations/361631/

Pre-ordered it on Amazon. Looking forward to it arriving tomorrow. I plan on reading it all night tomorrow, so I’ve cleared my calendar. Years ago, when I started reading James Baldwin, and realized how relevant he still was, I used to wonder how he would write today. Coates has become the continuance of Baldwin’s…

Not completely. I work with a group of Black women and white men. We were discussing colorism once and half the Black women stated that they were American first then Black second, so colorism was non-existent. I’m pretty sure that some of this was said to garner approval from the white men, but still....there you go...

THIS. Thank you brother. I agree 100%. That title turned it into a hit piece.

I feel you completely. I thought this was a little disingenuous. I get pointing out issues that Black women may have with Black men. But it’s the Black man/white people equivalency that seemed to be stretching a bit to far to gain approval.

I enjoy a LOT of the writing here. But THIS seems to be more about appealing to the largest part of the base readers, who are Black women. There’s nothing wrong with writing for your audience, but...to make an equivalency between Black men and White people? That’s a stretch that borders more on pandering than on truth…

The Eagles can rot for all I care. I lost respect for them as an organization long ago back when they showed the utmost disrespect for Donovan McNabb. This only closes the deal for me.

Finally...I spent most of my afternoon scratching my head and wondering whether any else caught that. I thought I dreamed that for hours today.

Am I the only one that noticed the irony of this clown’s first name being “Toby”?

There in lies the problem. If you change number 10 to number 1, then white people will be shocked and outraged at the crime of Joe Arpaio. In their eyes animals are honorary white people. Why? Well...because...white people.

With Underground being canceled, Queen Sugar is probably the one show that I look forward to the most each week. No show gets more from its characters or has a musical arrangement anywhere as good. I’m a little confused by how people refer to it as a soap opera yet put up with the pure ratchet-ness that is Empire,…

Has anyone asked this woman’s family if they “forgive” this police officer yet? Just saying....

“It’s a bit too early in the day for white whine.”

The point missing is that a CHILD should NEVER be labeled as a “mistress” in the first place. Therein lies the problem. But...as always, “murican” history forgets to humanize persons-of-color.

This just arrived this afternoon from Amazon, and it actually made me feel a little sad knowing that he’s gone.

Whew....I thought I was the only one who noticed how pretentious that was. I remember pointing it out to my girlfriend, who didn’t believe me at first, but suddenly she starting noticing girls with those overly long sleeves on sweaters. We started calling it the victimized-white-girl look.

This is the epitome of self-righteousness and self-promotion. She comes across as petty and as arrogant as Donald Trump. She was busted doping and trying to gain an edge against players that fought hard and did things the right way, and suddenly, she’s a victim. Women’s tennis doesn’t need her.
