Yeah, no. Alexandria is absolutely a suburb of Washington, DC. And you can be a suburb AND be a city. Many suburbs are cities of their own. Columbia, MD is a suburb that also has it’s won government, etc. As is Arlington, Va. Still a DC suburb. Silver Spring, MD? Same shit. And I’m extremely familiar with both…

I hope to someday be as deadly as Diane.

I love her. I also love Trevor Noah. So good.

Please please please let this mean she is running for office.

I wanted this one to be a full-length movie.

Clapback mailbag is the highlight of my week....I live for your responses.

As a white dude, I’ve always been more than a little weirded out by the obvious parallels between the slave trade, and the buying and selling of (predominantly) black men to play a game to make some rich white dudes money.

Aaaand now I’m dancing at my desk. Thank you for this.

I just love her. She and Ms. Karen Bass and Auntie Maxine (and of course Joy and Angela and April and Professor Christina on the non-elected platforms) are just killing it.

“Shortly after “alt-right” poster-boy Steve Bannon reportedly called Jared Kushner a “cuck,” signaling an escalating battle in the White House between the “Bannonites” and the “globalists,” Donald Trump bucked his isolationist promises and launched a military strike against the Syrian government”

Do not let strangers touch your hair. 1) It is rude af. 2) Touching another person’s hair is an intimate act. 3) Excessive manipulation causes breakage. 4) If they do thrust their dirty hand(s) into your hair, immediately place your hands full into their hair and ask them “how do you like it?”

I went natural a year or so ago after a Big Chop and it was the best thing I’ve ever done for my hair. My hair was relaxed from the time I was eight years old and the chemicals in that crap are a horror show. Also—in my frank opinion—the whole relaxing process is blight on black culture. You literally rub poison on…

I guess you could consider me an elderly white woman. I’m in my 50s. I just recently learned (by watching Atlanta house wives lol) that most black women wear some amount of fake hair. I was surprised. One woman had about 10 full wigs in her closet, very strange. (I would think it would be unbearablly hot, like a…

It’s true. I would love to touch a cloud of natural hair, but I do have to restrain myself.

Guilty.

So true. My (over 60, white) mom has embarrassed me (also white) more than once by excitedly touching other people’s hair (usually black guys with long, beautiful hair). She doesn’t mean any harm, and she’s being complimentary, but I can’t help but cringe and mouth “sorry” whenever it happens.
