Real talk:

My point is that it NEVER would/should have devolved into “hand-to-hand” contact:

The Motion carries...

The Motion carries: Chris “Kid” Reid has been sent a Membership Termination Letter jointly penned and signed Unanimously by ALL Members of both the Committees for Cultural Standards (CCS) and Member Services (CMS). Reid is nereby no longer a Member of the Delegation, and as such, is up for Trade in the Upcoming Racial…

Being married to a Marine who served in Afghanistan (2x), Iraq(2x), Kosovo, and Liberia my Hubby (whose PTSD won’t let him get on/ comment without triggering an episode) wanted me to say :

Not to treat such a natural diaster lightly, but just wanted to point out the brother in the above pic looks BEYOND pissed, yet he also looks like that Dad/Brother/Uncle/Cousin that’s gonna Afro-Engineer your shit and help you make through something like this relatively unscathed....

Kudos on Spellman doing the right thing. I hope they will be successful and also do their best to insure that their trans students are treated equally.

Not to jump all in your convo, but I’m in the EXACT same headspace:

I took a Black Film class as well- was an eye-opener, and turned me into a movie buff. Glad to see the genre has an outlet.

I, and my fellow regular commentors here on The Root, have collectively decided we’re NOT gonna Blacksplain or conduct Cultural Awokeness 101 classes anymore. We don’t have to, especially in the Age of Google. If you don’t get the DIFFERENCE between the inter-mingling and sharing of cultures, and Cultural…

LOL-Anyone can stare in Yeezus- it’s a combo of “Resting Bitch Face” and the fact that he’s a kinda Darth Jesus: he doesn’t love everyone, and like you said, he doesn’t care...

And another thing, WGAF, if Mr. Waters gets a check- he’s a FORMER AMBASSADOR, FFS. Miss me with that until you have EVERY White House Staffer, Cabinet Member, Senator, Representative, Lobbyist, Diplomat, the bloody POTUS, and ALL their family members ( ‘Sup, ‘Vanka?) give THEIR checks back...Pardon if I continue on…
