Why do black folks, or any POC, always have to tap dance for the racists? Why can’t they just, I don’t know, NOT be racist on their own, without having to be convinced? Why do we have to prove to racists that we’re good enough/nice enough/polite enough to be liked or even just treated as human beings, when they can’t

Every time I read or hear about white men being scared of becoming a minority, I just laugh and laugh and laugh.

THAT*clap* IS*clap* WHAT*clap* I *clap*SAID!!

For real. They treat white supremacy groups like they’re just innocent little “clubs” making crafts (bombs and nooses) and building tree houses (crosses in which to burn). -_-

This story made my ovaries tingle!

I went to private school in Orange County, Ca, so being bullied for being black was definitely a thing...

Their actions were flat out stupid (not just ignorant, but straight up stupid) and unforgivable. But also, I have a mini heart attack every time I hear a white person call a POC “racist”. We can only hope that whatever institution they attend has “ethnic studies 101" as a mandatory class, so it can teach them the

Thank you Damon!! I’ve seen countless stories of people expressing how they’re sorry ONLY NOW that they voted for him.

Panama, this piece made me tear up and I want to give you a hug.

I was just a baby during the early 90s, but I asked my father, who was born in jim crow era rural Mississippi, and he said that while it’s always been REALLY bad for black folks, mostly only other black folks knew/saw this in the flesh. Same goes for the the suffering of any marginalized community. The major

I’ve always thought he was part dungeness crab, on his daddy’s side, and those were just barnacles he needed to scrape off.

That’s when the “I WANT TO SPEAK WITH THE MANAGER” comes out.

There is definitely a different set of challenges with double ethnic-minority relationships. My parents are black and Filipino, and were married when it was still illegal for either of them to marry whites, but no one really cared about double brown couples. Except... Some Asians who have internalized racist issues

“Helping him to understand his white privilege and what it means to benefit from white supremacy can be an exceptionally taxing task.”

I’m the 5th black atheist, and all of this is true. I’ve always felt like I was “not allowed” to talk about my lack of religion to my family, so I never have, and I just hope someone else leads the prayer before the meal at get togethers. My aunty always tells me that I’ll meet a good man at church, but I’ve learned

I just wanted to thank you for putting quotes around president. Even just reading “trump” and “president” together in reverse order without the quotations, which we have to do every damn day now, upsets my stomach. I’m asshole-intolerant.

Except in Los Angeles!

My daddy’s family says these things (Mississippi, country black folks with just a touch of bougie), but my mama’s Asian, and I grew up and live in blindingly white Orange County, CA.

It’s GOOD! I’m not a church girl and while there are a lot of church scenes, the drama between the characters is interesting. Lynn’s character is a mean diva but not over the top.

I think we’re not supposed to know who to root for on Insecure. For most of season 1, I didn’t want to slap Lawrence. But I also think I mostly like it because like Issa, I’m a frustrated single millennial in Los Angeles.
