I don’t know what Kim G. saw him doing but it wasn’t twerking. The Chocolate City version of twerking originates from Go Go and looks kinda like what Spike Lee *tried* to capture with the watered down “Da Butt.” Bounce and GoGo are definitely cousins. But in DC our booties sway and in Nola they twerk . . . Henry…

Looking at the interview in the original, I think Jost is talking about the smartness of tapping into the rage of working class white people. Which makes more sense but isn’t articulated clearly. I am glad Che lead with, “should he be president? No.” But the annoying factor of the interview is that they don’t end…

I think they cherry picked the weirdest shit they said. Because these quotes seem to lack the context of the full conversation. I totally agree with Michael Che that Donald Trump is NOT a mutant extraordinarily racist, sexist asshole. There are tons of people who think like him (hence his supporters). I also think…

Because everything is totally equal when it comes to race. And those are absolutely apples to apples comparison. Yeah, you’re being victimized.

When saw it in the theater I was a little disappointed because I had really loved the book. Now when it comes on I always watch. Hanson does an amazing job of conveying the many unsaid things that makes the book so rich: how loved Rose is, without realizing it; how unaware Maggie is of who is rooting for her; how much…

Did you follow how he was being cast as an Uncle Tom? They were both got run over by Johnnie Cochran’s brilliant media strategy. He didn’t slut shame her. That’s not what happened.

One of my friends who works with a law project that focuses on juvenile justice and works with kids in the justice system says that with minors, and teenagers in particular, the list of things that you they should know better than to do is long and ridiculous. It’s not a matter, either, of education or economic…

You’re my kind of petty.

My best friend now lives downstairs in my building. She literally will walk in my house, say hello, rifle through my kitchen, supply closet, or linen closet and walk out with a pile of stuff. I love her so much!

It’s definitely lust and contempt, and they are upset that the woman they once lusted after is unapologetically Black.

Isn’t the original show called Criminal Justice?

it’s not ripe. you cut into it and think, meh. and then you’re the asshole who attracted fruit flies because you wanted it to ripen up for a day.

I got into a top ten public university out of state because of my GPA, my SAT scores, my extracurriculars, my stellar recommendations, and the fact of my Blackness, which was a ranking factor. The university, which has since ended its EOP/AA program, used race as a ranking factor because historically African Americans…

Okay . . . The “I’m funny that way” invited deeper examination, as though there are POC running around saying, “hire me because I’m Black? Thank ya! No qualifications here!” You know that there’s a vocal group of people out there thinking just this (heard of this Trump fella? He seems to be their patron saint!) And…

No one who is hired, or admitted, or seated, or quoted gets that honor solely because of their skin color, as the author adeptly points out. It just doesn’t happen that way. I’m a POC (Black colored, to use your terminology). Didn’t get into college just because of my skin color any more than I was hired for any job…

The way Vicki left after watching Brianna break down from being overwhelmed, in pain and exhausted was brutally cold. Brutally cold.

I’m happy to know that they have a teacher who recognizes their gifts and is helping them amplify them. Makes me hopeful!

that’s a whole can of worms.

Thank you for sharing this.

fillers and lipstick . . . trying to save glam when your lips are pumped to the max is rough.
