Black man with a black son here. I’m gonna need you to dig deep and suck it up, brother.

Don’t you come for Marvin Sease! Next thing we know, you’ll start bad mouthing Clarence Carter and Betty Wright.
Look, without Jheri Curls we wouldn’t have Coming to America or Frenchie from In Living Color or HollyWood Shuffle . Personally, I wouldn’t have had a strange man chasing me around Winn-Dixie because my Jheri Curl made me look like Countess Vaughn’s twin. We take the god with the bad and the shower cap with the drip.
Here’s the thing about that Dove debacle that I have yet to see addressed:
All. Of. This.
Criminalizing abortion is shutting the barn door after the horse is already out. You want a world without abortion? Address the reasons women choose to terminate pregnancies in the first place.
Catholics are no more united on the issue of abortion (or any other issue) than anyone else. Just because there is a singular head of the church doesn’t mean that everyone agrees with the doctrine. The Pope was recently accused of heresy by the more conservative members for his stance on being more accepting of gays…
This is probably one of the only reasons I’m grateful for Trump - he’s exposing the idiots among us. Too bad they’re too stupid to realize the damage is lifelong.
I used to think like that, but even before I rejected that line of thinking, I started being uneasy with using the Bible to defend anti-gay bigotry when I really thought about how it was used to defend slavery, segregation, genocide, and keeping women from voting. In all those instances the Bible was “always clear” in…
But think of the children*!
I think a lot of people would benefit from Fred’s historical analysis of White Evangelicalism. It is illuminating to see the through line from its origin as a justification for Slavery to their current position in the culture wars and how it has always essentially been a movement for maintaining an unjust social…
BINGO.
“Love They Neighbor,” and “Help the poor,” were two central tenants to Jesus philosophy and are a part of the core teachings. Both were discussed at length in the Bible. Abortion was discussed very little, and not consistently negatively or even explicitly. But somehow they claim to know how to prioritize better than…
And we need to wise the fuck up about this shit. I have little patience for conservatives in our community these days, as you said, take away issues of racism, and lots of us, especially in the south, sound just like a bunch of bigoted ass, ignorant, closed-minded, white conservatives.
She voted for him because she wants tax cuts pure and simple. She can try to hide behind God and that Christian mumble jumble, but she got a little bit of money and wants to keep it.
If republicans got rid of their open and loud racism, they’d have way more black people on their side. Because a lot black people agree with them when it comes to homophobia, sexism, transphobia, anti abortion, anti immigration.... This is exactly what Tina saw as “Christianity” in Trump, that according to their…
This is why I’m not here for any black person who voted for Donald Trump but particularly not for black people her age (43). If you are a black person in your 40's you are old enough to remember the Central Park Five. And you are old enough to remember that Donald Trump took out a full page ad in the New York Times…
“I didn’t really like either of the candidates, if I’m being honest, but I had to vote” - fuck anybody that prefaces their defense of voting for him like this. Also F her & ppl that are still using their religion as a crutch for not making informed choices & being terrible citizens of this planet.
Nothing but love, Ms. King. Nothing but love for you. Depression is a lyin-ass bitch who will sit on your shoulder and straight LIE to YOU. Depression will take the taste out your mouth and the joy out your music. I finally managed to trudge into a therapist’s office fifteen years ago and I should have done it years…
My experiences with This is Us
Episode 1:
“Here we go with these wypipo making a show about a good ol white boy wypipoin all over his pregnant Mandy Moore with the one wypipo approved Mary Sue ass black dude thrown in their as a tokOMG THEYRE ALL RELATED”
Episode 3:
“I still dont trust it I mean Mandy Moore is wypipoing…
I’d like to give a round of applause for the real character development given to Sterling’s and Lonnie’s character, Randall. I have never seen anything like this on TV in relation to a Black boy being adopted by a White family.
