You know, I had hoped Tiffany Haddish would get a best supporting actress nod, and when she didn’t I got caught second-guessing myself. Best supporting actress doesn’t differentiate between a comedy or drama, so you could technically argue that it’s a wider and tougher field.

YOU can see it. I can see it. Not everybody can see it. Also - some people don’t even see “more well-off” or “less well-off”. They see white. You don’t have to believe me; the neuroscience backs me up — as does the majority of white ‘bama voters stunting for (2x-bounced-off-the-bench child molester &…

She looks like could be a Fox News conservative commentator, and he looks like he could take over Kid Rock’s show after Kid Rock retires.

Well ... they figured “We’re white; authorities will believe us.” The Root has a hashtag, bb - it’s not like some random thug-looking white person hasn’t tried this several hundred thousand times before and actually gotten away with it.

They better get them jobs as fundraisers — they just lost a major donor because the founder lied about his CRIMINAL RECORD and they found out about it. ‘Course, they could just blame it on a #RandomBlackMan, now that The Root has a hashtag ... *weary sigh*

This knee-grow HAS to be the best villain of all time out there. He strikes literally EVERYWHERE at all times...at the same damn time. #RandomBlackMan. Marvel and DC, looking at you. Make your move.

When white folks got to north america, they came with disease into a multi-ethnic cross section of societies on the back end of a couple imperial collapses. People got sick and died at a rate of 70 to 90% depending on which estimates you use. Whole villages were wiped out AND the surviving expansionist native…

It’s not that he did anything wrong, it’s that the media is focusing on these bullshit side stories rather than fucking addressing the causes behind these sort of disasters.

Every time I really sit and think about manifest destiny it fucks me all the way up. White men just woke up one morning and thought all this shit is mine. That’s crazy. Like is it possible for an entire group of people to be born with narcissistic personality disorder?  

Pretty annoyed that The Big Sick got shut out completely... but they managed to give bland, tedious Ansel Elgort a nomination for whatever box office failure he was in this year.

Thoughts and Praye....oh, there weren’t any guns involved?

You know that scene at the end of New Jack City when Scotty chases down Nino and he’s kneeling over him? That’s Donald Trump right now waiting on the revelation of the nationality of the bomber.

If only there had been a good guy with a pipe bomb to prevent this.

I came face to face with the reality that I am of secondary importance to the the doctor the other day when discussing the possibility of a c-section. I have chronically (very) low platelets, which makes surgery risky. Despite this, the doctor said “if we need to do a c-section to safely deliver the baby, we will, no…

Planning amd access to affordable healthcare.

When you put it all together, I see it. Black women deal with racism and sexism at the same time so those are auto stressors. Black women are married at lower rates and are often the sole provider, so they have no choice but to work through the entirety of their pregnancies. That’s another stressor. Where as white…

I had a very strange complication with my last birth: Peripartum Cardiomyopathy. No one listened to me when I described my symptoms in the hospital (one of the biggest and best in the country, btw) after delivering a very healthy baby following a very healthy and uneventful pregnancy. I was discharged but at home, my…

I didn’t suffer any complications or life-threatening issues, but I remember people not fucking listening to me. I wasn’t all that hungry. Yes, all the sitcoms and movies lied to you. I was thirsty though.

What’s frightening about the high rate of mortality among black women is it holds steady despite wealth or education level and there is no corresponding increase in mortality among other minority women. What the hell is it? Is it specific racism towards black women? Is it a physiological fact that medicine hasn’t…

I listened to this last week while I was driving; I had to pull over because I was crying so hard.
