Because this is a complicated scenario and can interpreted a multitude of ways. Plus it’s an issue that can and will be debated in the court of public opinion, just like it is here. Also, I was responding to your insinuation that I said that statement, not that people weren’t saying it in general. 

Seriously. I was cringing the entire time he gave that “interview” because it was mostly just him talking over Mo’Nique and effectively preventing her from speaking in the first place. 

Folks can still boycott the games if they’d like, or they can continue watching. I mean the boycott literally started not  because he was kneeling, but because no team was signing him because of what he did. Him settling doesn’t erase the obviously racist practices and treatment of Black and NBPOC players in the NFL,…

Kaepernick didn’t compromise anything. The whole point of his lawsuit was to show collusion that prevented him from being signed on other teams, which is notoriously more complicated than people understand on legal terms when not in civil court. The settlement they reached, especially given their influence,…

Drinking Rosé? Hardly worthy of outrage or any offense. Real delinquents drink MD20/20. Pref Banana-Strawberry. Now absolute societal reprobates on the hand, drink 4 Loko. 

She’s an openly Democratic Socialist and everyone who’s voted for her knows this. It’s precisely the reason in fact, as no one expected a literal outsider with zero access to voluminous campaign funding like Crowley to win. Most already assumed he’d acquire the seat. That D also has no bearing on her campaign…

No. She beat Crowley because she personally went knocking on doors herself while working part-time as a bartender. She connected with the people and knows how to organize through her own personal experience working on Sanders’ campaign, but that’s where his influence ends.

You just reminded me that Tyler Perry’s studio was behind that, and of Madea dressed as a Dora Milaje...

I wouldn’t say Ahlanuh is Wakanda. More like Birnin Zana. Wakanda may be a technological and cultural pioneer, but it’s also notorious for simultaneously not giving a shyt about the lower-class in the regions not brimming with said-futurism among other injustices in some cases- which actually helped to precipitate a…

They stay telling on themselves without even trying to. 

And that’s literally the entire “lesson” here. There are people who’d never be “objective” and would automatically treat this case as proof Black Queer folk among other marginalized groups could not be trusted at all, yet, in all irony, are pretending they cared about us in the first place. They were already gunning…

Not to mention they did nearly put a pedophile into Senate...

Loved reading her work at my alma mater. I still think Song of Solomon is underrated. 

They really think we don’t peep their unseasoned apologism for what it is.

The NYPD stays on the shytlist with this mess, but love to paint themselves as tireless victims who protect and serve the community.

And of course, some Grey is going to hop into this thread and try to tell me, a Black Queer person, what the “lesson” in this clusterfuck of a situation is like we’re on Mr. Rogers and I need to hear their insipid opinion on my own life experiences. Fuck Trump and all those who voted for him, as they certainly were…

All I need is for folks in general to stop claiming the outcome of this case will determine whether or not people will be able to believe what Black Queer folks tell them more often. If they literally need one instance of a person even possibly falsifying a story about a hate crime to determine whether or not they can…

Lock that fucker up and toss him into oblivion. Even that wouldn’t be enough though. 

Okay no. Plenty of Boricuas are not Black let alone do not identify as such unless it’s convenient. They aren’t like those of us who’ve been repping our Blackness long before it became trendy. Do not #AllLivesMatter Afrolatinidad, especially when there are plenty of actual Afrolatin@ singers who could’ve done Motown…

Asé oo

I know which Orisa he will be thanking.
