Sure, but that’s in no way exclusive to white folk. Know what I would have done? Walked away. I’m not engaging in a conversation with willfully ignorant racists and I’m not going to ask anyone else to either. Did those men change their minds? Of course not! I support anyone who wants to do that, but Im not shaming…

Oh stop. Nobody from the African diaspora is ganging up on Haiti. Just stop.

I’m not sure why you got that reply. It was clearly a joke

At this point, who cares. They may never figure out what’s up, but at least we know and we can use this important information to help us navigate this country the best we can.

Agreed. This is why I read VSB, at least somebody will write about what’s really happening

But it’s not real. It’s just not real. Can you have true self worth when you don’t know who you truly are? Black people are not Kings, Queens or magic(another one I hate) we’re just people. We shouldn’t have to be more.

Lol for all intents and purposes, trust and believe, Haley is white.

Really? They end in 96'? You got a source for that?

Me too. I ain’t getting tickets for nobody

For those of us exiting your pews, we refuse to have our entire value as women be based on what lies between our thighs,” she writes. “We’re battle weary of your analogies of our bodies to cars and other inanimate objects.”

Straight up. I forgot to add that in my comment full of concessions for her ignorance, but as soon as I read that she had a white mother, I knew it was a wrap.

Agreed. That’s why I say her issues are with her being half black and not just having light skin

I get you, but here’s what I think it is, not “light skin” privilege, but “mixed person” privilege or tears, if you will. That sentiment she was expressing came from a lifetime of being rejected by white people but being uncomfortable with black people. I feel like she would never have been so offended by those…

Yes, of course I read your comment. You said “beating or hitting” which in both cases mean “spank” to me. If you had said “punched” I would have agreed with you.

That’s a great description of the show. To me, it is the most accurate portrayal of life in America for black people and that’s why I love it.

Ok, you have got to be white. Are you white? I’m not trying to be offensive but what you just wrote sounded crazy to me. How could you report a parent for hitting their child?

Which is crazy, because it is a great series that I’m sure many people of all ethnicities enjoy

Exactly my first thought

Yes. Yes. And yes. Black people are by far, in my experience, the most vocal antigay crowd. It’s not because of white Supremacy unless you think the Bible is the white supremacists handbook (I don’t accept arguments that say it is). We are indeed social conservatives. Also, there is no need to overanalyze anything…

Fascinating perspective. I’ll have to think about that. I was inclined to agree with the other commenter about allowing people to call themselves whatever they want, but you make a good point.
