Apparently you didn’t know. Because for some reason, you felt the need to share that you felt that HBCU presidents were Uncle Toms. The idea that it was okay because you didn’t say it does not take away from the fact that you said it.

It’s not.
I was heartbroken to learn that FAMU was there. No way my president (Frederick Humphries, a*k*a “Hump”) would’ve been caught dead shaking hands with Donald Trump.
Slightly O/T: Did you ever watch Underground? I think they did a phenomenal portrayal of house vs. field. There was no question that the field slaves had it harder, but Ernestine’s confession (house slave) of how/why she envied Pearlie Mae (field slave) was absolutely heartbreaking.
Bless your heart. This is Texas. None of those things are going to happen. At all.
Stop. Calling. The. Police. That is where the mother went wrong.
What...in the blue fuck are you talking about?
Flawless.
Southern black church? It’s probably the choir director!
That sums up the gospel community, period.
I wish they could re-release the song w/another singer. B/t being on Ellen & being on Frank Ocean’s album, Kim Burrell is more than just a homophobic - shr’s a hypocritical homophobe.
Nancy on a horse for no.fucking.reason in 3...2...1...YAAAAAAAASSSSS!!!!!!
Add in the white socks and this dude is just Mall Cop 101.
When this story dropped, my grandmother told me it reminded her of “colored day” at certain parks and even stores. (We’re from Dallas.) There were other places that wouldn’t allow blacks to shop there - for any reason - unless they were in maid uniforms. Swimming pools? Yeah, right. Her parents were arrested at a park…
The child is black. Ergo, not a child at all. Not like, y’know, a HUMAN child.
What utopia do you teach in? Every damn year, we get reports in my district about how many north Texas districts are suspending and expelling children of color at ridiculous numbers - even children as young as four. Google “Dallas ISD expulsion dates” and you’ll get about 200 billion hits that basically translate to…
“Proper restraint” my ass. You do that in my district, you’ll be in BIG trouble. I learned that the hard way when I made the mistake of being too soft-hearted to watch a kid get his face beaten into the floor until the other kid got tired.
Like my grandmother used to say: black women want to be white women, and white women want to be men.
If I read one more fucking post or tweet from a white woman talking about how “torn” she is or how we have to consider both sides of the story, I’m going to fucking scream.
This. This is why, by and large, black women do not trust white women and never will.
