I think we’re going to go with black. It’ll work. Football season requires the full sleeve liners and black leggings, so they’d be covered that way. We’ll have to see if it’ll fly with their parents.

Cheerleader tryouts on Monday. Got a couple of Somali girls come to try out. We’re trying to work on how to integrate the hijab and the required bow.

Please. The things I’ve done for the hot white guy across the street...

I’m a Black English teacher and “love” Lovecraft because I’m a fan of the genre. However, he’s problematic and his work reeks of racism. It was almost a game, growing up, to spot it while reading him.

YASSS!

Um...have you heard what Gabby is saying about her CURRENT boss lately? I’m sitting here like, “Be careful, girl...he’s right there!” Oh and...the “other actors” were Mariah Carey, Paula Patton Thicke, and Lenny Kravitz for chrissakes...who you think he felt the need treat professionally for those junkets and who did…

The shock is WHO those people are. But her revenge is saying out loud what blackfolks have been whispering for years about Daniels, and Perry and Winfrey, in particular...a cabal of gatekeepers who act petty as hell with their own. Now that Mo’Nique is squawking, no telling who will start talking now. At some point,…

She’s disputed those reports and insists that the powers that be planted those stories to make her look gauche and delusional. She wanted Daniels to compensate her for the ACTUAL monies she’d be losing while doing her contractual obligations to her own show. And guess what: she made her damn money by staying on set.…

You don’t have an obligation to expect, promote or fight for equality for ANYone that’s not you. You right, girl!!! You right. You don’t, as a white person, need to feel the need to lift one little finger for any other person but you and yours. That’s what so many of you feel already. Not even sure why you wasted the…

She didn’t refuse to do press. She refused to pay for her own flights and give up her income from her show to do press and campaign for an Oscar. Daniels could have paid for her flights, put her up, supplemented her income to “campaign” for something that was supposedly an honor, but he didn’t. He didn’t give Gabby…

My nieces celebrated their birthdays this past weekend at her show and they said she was awesome. She was performing in Grand Rapids two days later when this happened. I hope she is alright.

We get it. Your work is done here. Go back under your bridge.

I really thought this was satire, but no...

I HOLLERED!

We do okay.

Pearl here: I teach English. I’m writing this from work because my kids are taking the IB exam and I have some free time.

He’s beautiful, but colorstruck. When criticized for deliberately excluding darkskinned women on the callsheets for his video, he defended himself by saying he was “black as shit, so why [would he discriminate]?”. Black. As. Shit. ‘Kay, Tyrese. Go night-night, now...

Yep. He’s been trash since forever. Folks acting brand new on here. Remember him kicking his pregnant babymama? #neverforget

It is most definitely a thing. And there will be discussions had about precisely this phenomena very shortly. There was already, in linguistic circles, arguments for Caribbean-Canadians to NOT lose their accents so that they would be perceived as more hard-working and grateful for employment than home-grown black…

You are better than me. Patiently talking to someone who took the effort to swim across the pond just to call black folks ghetto... I’m still sitting here at the “most black brits” like -.-.
