She’s not exactly...skilled...when it comes to deflecting hits. This reeks of “skilled person finds person with better skills and retreats into a bubble.” Train. Do better. Don’t be a sore loser, because as much as people are being obnoxious for mocking her, she’s being equally so for her incredulity.

I am tired of Wade’s shit.

The white lady who is forever changed by her encounter with the forgiving black healer? Fuck this shit.

I feel you, but it is so tempting to want to watch the chickens come home to roost. We gon’ always be alright as black folks, but watching this collective conniption has been my solace.

Maybe it’s your interpretation of being faced with some truth as intimidation, though? This is the whole point—this is the point that women make to men all the time—whether or not you personally did anything, you still reap the benefits of your privilege, and if you’re trying to start a movement, and you want to…

I wrote a post on a local feminist fb page about the disrespect that I witnessed when Janelle Monae and Angela Davis spoke.

This was masterfully written.

This Bulls season has played out precisely how it was always going to play out. An overwhelmingly mediocre team led by Jimmy Butler, whose consistent growth into a viable go-to guy is outstripped and overshadowed by his complete inability to connect on a real level with any of his teammates or “lead” for more than a…

Yeah, fuck her. We’re still dealing with the ongoing bullshit lies of whites blaming blacks for their own crimes. It’s not “used to be”. It is now. Susan Smith and Charles Stuart both depended (accurately) on the racism of their fellow whites when they falsely reported to police that “the blacks” had killed their…

I feel like maybe she means that he knew he was able to intimidate her because he is a man and she isn’t

I don’t think sexual intimidation really works in this context. Seems like it was a situation where he assumed she would be fine with the video because of the party atmosphere and then tried to persuade her when she wasn’t in the right state of mind. If it was sexual intimidation I would assume Trey would have led her…

It’s why they’re no longer “my party.”

I better get off her back. Not sure her “steel” spine can take me being on it.

Hillary “I voted yes for Iraq war” Clinton had a steel spine?

No, reactions like yours are why national politics is as dysfunctional as it is.

This is literally what needs to happen. We need real progressives in office, not people who just give lip service and then become useless when it is time to actually take a stand.

Burn the entire fucking Democratic Party to the ground so we can start over.
