Well researched and written. The biggest takeaway is that she should have listened to the people around her. Even the song you posted in the article, had she dropped the blaccent and gone with Valley girl ala kesha in the first part of her career that would have been a cute little underground sleeper hit.

Thanks for explaining a little how the racism is here. While I was so happy there were tons of anti protesters out to show the “Free Speech”crowd they were out numbered, I know more than a few people who say all manner of racist stuff to me but think they aren’t being racist at all.

I really want them to realize how insulting it is for them to drag their babies into a discussion where they were being problematic.

I know it’s not shocking, but it’s heartbreaking to hear someone talk about how their own mother chose whiteness over their children. And wanting to take you to a step-family’s Thanksgiving? Just gross.

Wouldn’t surprise me if she and Kanye rip on black women something fierce, like soooooo many other black dude, white women couples.

Kim K (in my eyes anyway) has always been that certain kind of white woman married to a black man. She’ll gleefully reap all the benefits from being a culture vulture, but she really ain’t feeling us (black folks) like that.

So here’s a rule to follow everyone: If someone offends a group of which you are not a part of, it is not up to you to decide when people should get over it or accept the apology.

I’d feel a whole lot better if he “ended the racisms” going forward by calling up all his fellow white dudes who perpetuated racism back in the day and organizing them to pool their resources for a scholarship fund for students of color and a library of REAL American history at the school.

Try by changing the ideologies of other whites. Try by standing up to white supremacy at every chance you get. Try by petitioning your local government and police forces when injustices occur. Try by doing good deeds selflessly, instead of for absolving your own guilt. Black victims don’t need your condolences.

In a bizarre way this controversy sums up race relations in this country. The original photo of Emmet’s decomposed face appeared in Jet magazine over a half century ago, and most whites never knew about this tragedy. A White person copies the original, now all of a sudden this family’s nightmare is worthy of…

She wanted people to look.

The thing that pisses me off the most is Emmett Till’s momma showed the brutality done to her baby to show the truth. This “artist” used lynch porn to show how big a SJW she is and got mad we didn’t give her a gold star and a kiss on the nose for caring. People act like a painting somehow makes it more respectable and…

I love Idris, but I disagree on this one. The US is known for propping non-American Black people up over Black Americans. Unity doesn’t mean much when a select group is still at the bottom of the totem pole.

I wonder how Usher’s wife is doing in all of this.

Uh, those demographics are all quite vocal about civic engagement issues. Perhaps you’re not paying attention?

1. Bernie Sanders tried to use his 5 minutes of wokeness in the 1960s before hightailing it to the whitest place on Earth all through the election. And when he wasn’t doing it his fans were falsely trying to lay claim that any white guy in glasses in a photo from any Civil rights march was really Sanders. And he…

When Bernie was on the campaign trail, he gave the same stump speech over and over. He did minimal tailoring of his talks to suit different geographic locations and populations.

I know we are not the first group of people to take a hurtful and negative word and make it our own, and through that ownership find solidarity and strength. But I would caution you to remember the origins of that word, the original meaning and intent behind it, and to have some empathy and sensitivity towards those…

My “favorite” is how working-class people are somehow only white. Who’d a thunk it?!

Thanks for the flashback. . . and for everything in this article. This article is EVERY SINGLE DANG THING I have been trying to tell my white progressive friends ever since Bernie’s candidacy collapsed into a pile of white tears. I will just say this, regarding Bill Clinton. He was a master politician. Handsome.…
