Well good luck? But EVERY time, EVERY damn time people try to get a third party going you get the sappy, weepy “we can’t support a third party THIS time, this (insert year here) election is too important to risk the other side winning. Now fall in line, vote for our guy, and you can totally vote for who you want to…

Most of the people in this country cannot even fathom the idea of having a 3rd party, I mean that is literally a alien idea to make. I support it and it makes sense, it’s obvious both parties are corrupted to the point that it cannot be fixed. We must start a 3rd party(a variable one not just the “green” party) to…

Unfortunately, rather than entertain the idea of a 3rd party, the general response seems to be “let’s give the other party a chance since this one didn’t give us what we wanted,” every 4 years.

I’ve gone a decade or so without getting the flu. I get vaccinated, wash my hands, and keep surfaces around me clean. It just isn’t that hard.

So these were out of the question?

I heard it for the first time maybe a week ago, from my 32 year old partner who also had never heard of it. She works with almost exclusively 30-somethings, and they make a shitload of presentations.

All of this to me seems to be someone who is convinced that being youth is intrinsically better than age, and that everyone who is old somehow wants to hide it and appear young.

Yeah if I were Denzel I’d have been pissed by that question too. Her question reads like a polite, journalistic way of asking him why he’s so “uppity” and he totally picked up on it.  

Absolutely. She tried to box him in and he was having none of it.

I got the same vibe.

I think a better strategy is to make yourself flexible and valuable. Make sure that you can do some stuff outside of your typical job routines; don’t be a dumping ground for stuff people don’t want to do, but take on some out-of-the-ordinary stuff every now and then to show that “yes, I can do all my regular stuff,…

I frequently tell people that if they can’t be replaced, they can’t be promoted

This is the absolute right thing to do but the cynical part of me thinks there will be some trickery to undermine the Bruce family. White people are losing their minds over this! All of a sudden, they care about Mexicans, indigenous tribes, Japanese Americans interned during WWII, Aztecs and Mayas because gotdammit,…

People like that wouldn’t care. They would take it to mean its working and ramp up the volume. These people have no shame. They think they are in the right and no amount of black dildos or MLK speeches on CD’s will deter them (and they would love the mayonnaise). They see their racism as ordained by God.

I just hope he doesn’t get released on a technicality like Cosby did.

If ‘cancel culture’ existed, rather than long overdue NEGATIVE CONSEQUENCES for bad behavior, this would be a prime example of it; Sparkle’s career was essentially ruined because she dared speak out about R Kelly being a sexual predator nearly 20 years ago.

Stephanie “Sparkle” Edwards.

“The deck was stacked against Robert.”

Birds of a feather. 

Wishing her peace, healing, and much success. What she went through is impossible to imagine—both having the strength and the moral certitude to do what she knew was right even though it was a heavy, heavy burden and she paid a high price. I only hope that in the future more Black women and Women of Color are taken…
