“...data shows that young people are much more likely to be derailed by obstacles to voting.”

The fact that Trump hired Giuliani as his lawyer is enough to prove he’s dumber than Giuliani.

No Rapsody (her most recent album came out before the Grammy deadline) Megan Thee Stallion (not even Big Ol’ Freak????) or Saweetie? Really?

BTW, I don’t believe the story.  Sounds like a game of telephone where by the end we get to Julie Roberts’ name being thrown around to play Tubman.  I don’t believe it.

Mercy and charity were always things demanded of the colonized (in mind and body,) like slaves and Native Americans. How convenient to enforce onto survivors of genocide and slavery a faith which requires forgiveness, mercy and charity, three things that were never demonstrated by slave owners or by the nuns at the…

“Jean had to be exceptional. The DA had to be exceptional (and let’s be clear, statistically, pursuing a murder charge against a cop in the first place is exceptional).”

Grieving is inhuman? What if he’d decided to not extend forgiveness like that? I’m going to assume you didn’t mean it like that, because I don’t think you did; but it ironically denies him his humanity. 

And the bailiff, a black woman,was stroking Guyger’s hair a couple of days back. No words.

The real question is: how many convicts has the judge hugged after sending them to jail? That really bothered me. You know judge wanted Guyger to walk out scot-free.

Jean hugging Guyger doesn’t bother me. If that’s what he needs—regardless of whether “that” is extending genuine forgiveness or performative pandering—in order to heal, then let him have it.

Got called “kokujin” multiple times in Japan, by old ladies. Which people will say translates to “black person,” but I’ve been called nigger enough to know it in all languages.

Thinking about little girls trying to lay their edges before they can catch the bus gives me anxiety.

It should come as no surprise whatsoever that Vernon Francois has a wide assortment of hair care and styling products for sale at reasonable prices at your local Sally Beauty.

Vern hairshamed that girl to boost his brand and make his month-end sales quotas.

Fuck Vern.

I hate this obsession with “laid edges” when it comes to natural hair. If its curly unleash the curls. I don’t understand why people fight to put hair in pony tail and end up with traction alopecia, just let the fro go.

I mean, I hate to give ol crazy minstrel show chick any attention but, honestly, your hair is doing everything right.

Thank you so much for writing this! People don’t understand that what they are calling a preference is really just internalized racism and colourism. Where is all the hubbub for the Curry kids?

This is how a Black girl with 4C natural hair looks after a day of playing around outside and being carefree. All the kids look cute and the “after school” photoshoot theme is unique and adorable. You can lay your kid’s edges to the gawds at 8am and they’ll look like they went through a wind tunnel by 3pm, and that’s…

It’s not fair that some little girls can wake up in the morning & throw their hair in a ponytail or throw on a headband & out they go. But god forbid you’re a little black girl & do that. Leave little kids alone to not be stressed out about their dang hair! It’s hair damn it!!!!!

I feel so bad for this girl being scrutinized in public like this. What are people thinking?
