The attention marijuana gets is all rooted in racism (even the name), last year Steve Alford (KS State Rep) was saying the same BS that was used to prohibit the drug in the 1930s. As long as the people in charge have be ingrained to believe that marijuana will make the blacks and Mexicans violent and the white women…

Are we ready to admit that the issue is not, “we need more black faces at the table.” This shoe made it past all steps and was headed to distribution before a celeb stepped in for it to get axed. The requirement has to be more than just being black because to many black folk don’t really care or have any lineage that…

In a fist fight, yes you should expect this can end with gunshots, it happens all the time. The whole idea behind stand you ground laws is that when someone physically attacks you, you can then shoot them. She sought this woman out and attacked her, got exactly what she asked for and then some.

This is why black causes have so many issues, looking for perfect people. If you point out a very valid observation, the message will be drowned out with something completely unrelated. 

Pretty sure Adidas owns Reebok, I never quite understood that Beyonce headline.

If you get ordered to pay someone back in court, they wont allow you to donate to their favorite charity. Reparations are cash payments to those owed, if it’s not a cash payment, it’s not reparations.

This is willful ignorance, if you attended a predominately white public school, then you have received a handout. White people tend to be able to ignore the handout they get, because they don’t see it as a handout.

“Yes racism and slavery was wrong. Now Get over it. Stay in school, continue to strive and make your own money.”

American Gangster was great

I agree with you, however pointing out the difference between AA Women and Caribbean women (Kamala is Jamaican/Indian and groomed in Canada) at this point is considered xenophobic. There is a difference and that’s why a lot black people are looking at her funny style.

Are we arguing that no black women are against IR dating. Ask some of the black men you know how many have been told by their mothers “don’t bring no white women in this house.” I know two men who are no longer invited to their family functions for making the decision to date outside of their race. I know a man whose…

Ta-Nehisi Coates has said himself that he is no expert on what reparations would look like or should look like. He presented the case so state why it’s needed and that’s greatly appreciated but he’s out of his depth here. I don’t understand why Black celebrity is constantly being pushed to be the experts on out issues…

This is the true benefit of having a large field, ideas come out and force others to respond. The fact that you must sue the city because the officer who actually violated you is immune is one of the reasons officers behave like they do. Someone has to say it, so others have to respond, this should of been gone a long…

I would say the fact Corey Booker hasn’t managed to gain any traction would suggest that they are. If you can point to some brothers who seem to rock just like Kamala and get no blow back point them out.

#ADOS means American Descendants of Slaves, this is very different than African Descendants of Slaves. Almost the whole diaspora has been victimized by slavery at some point but this movements only speaks for those who experience chattel slavery in America. With that said, Yvette was way out of line with Talib, she…

Plenty of American Dad’s in prison, not sure why that would disqualify anyone. Cliff Huxtable was played by Bill Cosby, but he was not Bill Cosby. I know it can be hard to separate the two at times, but yes Cliff raised a whole lot of 80s babies.

You can watch his interview with Antonio Moore (co-inventor of the #ADOS) on YouTube. He’s also a regular contributor on Antonio’s show, ToneTalks, so I would assume Byron Allen would qualify as a reliable source about Byron Allen. Also just for fun, check out his opinions on Barrack Obama.

I just bothers me when I see people who make careers out of making a fool of black people take a hard line when it comes to women and LGBTQ+ issues. She is on the red carpet with chicken in her pocket talking about don’t ask me no black questions, I didn’t go to college. But threaten some women’s rights, just can’t…

There should be a bunch of young lawyers getting very good at suing police departments, they settle every case and they would stand to make a fortune. 

I’ve seen many discussions and definitions for toxic masculinity, anyone care to drop a definition for just masculinity?
