“White supremacy is not racism, but it is the result of racism. White people participate in white supremacy every day, often unknowingly. It has nothing to do with hate or willful malice. It is accepting the premise of prejudice for one’s own self-interest.

Bianca Del Rio concurs...

My favorite of all time is “race relations were getting better until Obama”. That line makes me laugh every damn time.

I’m ready to call up my Moms angry. She went to Howard and told me exactly 0 Howard Homecoming stories and never once suggested I go. So instead I went to a State commuter school and boy let me tell you. It was ‘aight at best. I mean I met my best friend there and got a handy from a stranger during an all night…

Yeah, this happened several times. Each time it was something hella ignant (yes, ignant) like “yo homie, keep yo pitbull out my yard...this aint the hood no mo.” Or “hey playa, cut ya grass before I call the HOA on you, the NAACP won’t defend you on that.” Pure foolishness

YES YES YES! This is an excellent way of putting it. Some people feel indignant when they are told they are supporting white supremacy specifically because they think them refraining from outwardly racist behavior is all they have to do. Anything you do (or don’t do) that enables other white people to be hateful or…

Michael Harriot is probably my favorite writer on the internet right now and is one of the few people who have been able to help me make some sense out of what has been happening for the last few years. I really wish more people could allow themselves to actively listen to his articles, not even agree with…

This whole week y’all have just been making me heavily regret not going to an HBCU. If I could go back, I’d go black.

Not today Satan!!! I can’t!!

The thing that pisses me off is the fact that they were too much of a coward to actually hand their neighbor that shit. This same thing happened to my married friends when they purchased a house in a predominately whyte area. They got a note the day after Holloween telling them to put their decorations away since…

As I was reading all the backlash in the greys to your Walking Dead article, I am struck by a few things.

I like how the writer of the threatening note claims that these white women are trying to “rebel” against Trump by employing a black woman. Trump’s feelings will apparently be bruised if he discovers a black woman is walking freely around Ukie Village.

I totally agree. Probably the mom who was hoping to dump her kid off on the nanny for $20 bucks and a to go bag from Pappadeaux’s and got firmly smacked the hell down for her ignorance.

Whadd’ya wanna bet that the source of the letter was a neighbor that actually lives in the same building?

i would venture to state that “playing hard to get” was allllllllways a bullshit notion even in the halcyon days when “boys could be boys”

Mr. Harriot, this is a great piece of writing. Thank you.

This deserves a Milky Way full of stars. I don’t think white America truly understands how completely over it Black America is with things now. When shit goes down there’s going to be a heaping serving of indifference from the folks who literally spent over two and a half centuries trying to tell them to get their…

If I didn’t mention that (first para?) I certainly thought it - AMOF, it was a big reason I went off on that rantlet - because that made me *so mad*.

Okay, so ... I wasn’t the only one more than a touch peeved that VA gubernatorial candidate Hoffman stood right up there next to my President grinning when his own Democratic Party had just finished pulling this crap earlier this week.

White folks better leave this man alone and go talk to their fellow white folks. They’ve had a whole year to come up with a plan. I understand (not really) them being “shocked” last Thanksgiving, but this Thanksgiving is fast approaching and we all know they don’t disown their racist ass family members, so uncle Dan…
