    I like both of these men but feel this is true. Coates and West both have socialist leanings. They both feel like Democrats haven’t done enough for Black considering how loyal we’ve been all these years. Both are brilliant academics, though Coates does not have a college degree. I think it’s a generational thing too.

    You are 100% correct. Those poor rednecks still have more freedom and privelage than Black people. They hoard weapons and threaten the government without repercussions. White people will always find a way to take care of their own. Look at how the opioid crisis is being treated in comparison to the 80's crack epidemic.

    I don’t know a lot about this race, but I have family in the area who really disliked Kasim Reed and his policies. I do know every city Democrats run is being riddled with gentrification that is forcing Black people out of areas we’ve lived for a very long time. I’m an Independent because, honestly, neither side is

    This is exactly what I came here to say. It’s the same training police are given, but they still can’t stop shooting unarmed Black people. Obviously, American Airlines likes hiring racists, they will just cover their ass from now on. Black people have been in this country for hundreds of years. Why in the hell do

    This is actually a good idea. Netflix is starting to do better, but I don’t ever see any Black Amazon shows (I know some are in the works). It’s still way too hard for Black creatives to get movies made. So many White directors go from indie film festival darlings to directing big budgets. I like indie movies and have

    What a tragedy. Golden Krust is an institution in New York. None of us will ever know why he did it, but I have Jamaican friends who have said suicide is pretty high in their community. Just like in the Black American community, seeking mental health help is often seen as weakness, especially for a man.

    I can speak as freely as you. I’ve been saying for months the investigation is going nowhere. Guilty pleas yet no one is even close to any jail time or even a real felony record. Trump is still POTUS (a year next month). Keep following the trail leading nowhere while Republicans demolish Black lives for generations to

    Good luck to you. I always want to see our people succeed. My boyfriend had the same upbringing. He has always had to work because his mom is a single mother who depends on him to help with his 4 younger siblings. He was lucky he had a neighborhood guy who put him on the path to electrical engineering in high school.

    Another Black woman making life better for our community. This serial killer was stupid, but he was getting away with these murders. I’m glad the families will get some justice.

    I feel you and know so many are going through the same thing. This is why it’s important for more Black people to get STEM educations. Data analysis, engineering (programming & software for example), and mechanical job fields are growing. These fields need people right now, and because the industries are new and

    The Mueller criminal investigation is not going anywhere. None of those rich White men will ever see a day of jail. This Congress will never impeach Trump. I’m more worried about 2020 when White people go back and vote for the orange monster again.

    That line had me rolling. I’m not an H but I am bigger than a D so they usually do not have my size in the trendy stores. I go to Target and there’s just a bunch of B’s all over the place. Is it so hard to get sizes women want in the stores? Do you even like money? I’m really just sick of how much women have to spend

    This is funny, but Melania isn’t planning to poison anybody. She’s not a victim but an opportunist. The White House is public housing, which is why she didn’t want to live there in the first place. Trump is barely there himself.

    You guys are so cute. I loved the way Black women, in particular, looked in the 80's and 90's. I hate all this skin lightening, surgery bodies, and 25 pounds of makeup for the “gram” stuff people do now. Teenagers don’t even look like teens anymore with the awkwardness and all. I’ll take realness over a “glow up” any

    The majority of White people did not work hard for what they have. Even poor Whites had Black people working their land and in their homes. Now they just import cheap immigrant labor. The Black soldiers who went to the same World Wars (and had to deal with racism in the military) were not able to use the GI bill that

    It’s not just Alabama but all states in the union. White men never meant for Black people to have the vote. They finally gave White women the vote when they got tired of fighting with them, but it took a lot of Black people’s blood for us to get to a ballot and even in 2017 they are still trying to take it from us.

    Men need to call each other out more. If your boy is a harasser don’t joke about it at the gym, tell him he’s dead wrong. Patriarchy exists across all race and class. Sexual harassment is not okay. Rape is not okay.

    White people love to repeat this mess! I have heard Whites complain about how it’s so hard to be White “nowadays”. These same White people have houses given to them by their parents and grandparents. They have trusts that pay their lazy asses. They have multiple cars. They spend a ton on anything if it says artisanal.
