“Just because you’re black doesn’t mean you can’t get burned.”

I’m sorry about what happened. All of it. I felt tears well up in my eyes for you as I read this. It’s heart-wrenching. And baffling.

Oh my Lord, Panama, I had no idea you were going through this. I have tears in my eyes right now. I would say that I cannot imagine, but I can. I have not spoken to my parents in years. I drew a very reasonable line and demanded respect and they refused. I will not back down and I will not regret it. I support you…

This. Like, politically, having gone third party is barely better than having voted for Trump because the result is largely the same (i.e. you’re taking votes away from Hillary). But morally, it’s a big fucking deal that you’ll be able to look back and say you didn’t vote for him.

Hint: thicker = importance.

I’m really sorry to hear this, Panama. And thank you for sharing something that is so personal with us.

This was a tough read. I’m sorry PJack. This has to be a devastating situation for you. I can’t imagine.

PJ I can’t imagine how hurtful it is being the son of a mother who denies the reality of their children’s lives. Know in your heart and soul you did/will do whatever’s necessary for your children and your own well being. You cannot change people only the way you choose to react to them. No matter who those people…

I am so sorry! I think we “mixed-kids” have some serious decisions that were thrust upon us. My stomach hurt while reading this, I broke off all communication with my mother’s family after the election. But unlike your mother, my mother stood by my side and did the same. I’m not sure how you can fix this, or if you…

I just don’t get it.

As someone with toxic family that I had to cut off. I deeply empathize with you. Stay strong and stay the course, a lot of people are going tell you a lot of bullshit about, high roads, forgiveness and family is family. Your children and mental health are more important.

This is really hard, and I am sorry you are experiencing this. Hopefully at some point you will regain a semblance of a relationship

Sorry man. That’s rough.

Fambo...I’m so sorry.

i feel you. it took me years, but i finally made my peace. shout out to VSB, y’all been instrumental in dealing with it.

Good post, Peej!

So sorry to hear that Panama. I know this entire situation isn’t easy and I know it’s even harder to express it in public. I’m sure many people are experiencing the same thing you are and your voice will support those that think they are alone. Sometimes you just have to leave people clean on alone and let them find…

Yeah, this one needs to stay up because nothing, and I mean nothing, better captures white music than this statue. It’s all there.. overlord white man triumphantly self-satisfied with his own negro playing songs to make mighty white man feel better yes, but mostly to make mighty white man reel in hard owned money…

He’s a complicate man, but no one understands him but his woman.
