I write for a living but I don’t read for recreation anymore. People tend to think that because I am a technical writer that I consumer books by the hundreds. No. I hate reading with a passion.

Because hating melanin is a terrible skincare regimen.

Uh, sorry if this has been mentioned already but... why is it that people like this always look way older than they are? 25? Shit, I thought she was older than me, and I’m 32!

The definition is right there in the New Obecky Dictionary:

How could I not? I mean, do the most ignorant of comments (& policies, & unintended consequences) come from those people who literally don’t know what they don’t know? ‘Cause after observing this for awhile, I feel like that’s what keeps happening in front of us over and over again ...

Here’s a funny (sad?) thought: In about 30 years, white people will be pulling out ‘08 presidential campaign Obama quotes, talkin about hope and yes we can and shit, and all I will be able to do is spontaneously combust

Wake me when they get to Frantz Fanon.

It’s real easy to type in “Black man quote” into google, go to brainyquotes, and pretend that you are being clever by pulling out a black man you probably believe no one has heard of, and yet, I feel every black person knows this Booker T quote and the Du Bois quote that counters him.

I’m over the “I’m Beyonce thing”, too. Beyonce is a great performer, but in my opinion, Solange is the true artist in the Knowles family.

I read an article a few months ago about the life they have made for themselves. If I’m not mistaken, one of his ex-coaches helped them recently get a house that was set up for Chancellor’s special needs. And the light and warmth and forgiveness that Chancellar and Ms. Adams had about them was something I hope I have…

Bless your heart.

He really does look as sweet as sugar pie - you can tell he’s happy and cared for too, despite the walking shitstain that is his sperm donor.

Do those posts about Black Panther count? I feel like most of February they spent doing weird ass Olympic coverage.

Excellent article. One thing though, Rue was not described as blue eyed and blond haired in The Hunger Games. She was described as reminding Katniss almost exactly of her younger, blue eyed blonde sister, EXCEPT for her “dark brown skin and eyes”. Katniss also innnocently says her dark hair resembles moss. So she’s…

Good for her from the perspective of fighting colorism, especially given that Wakanda is meant to be an untouched, thoroughly sub-Saharan country. She would have been visibly out of place.

Why are they discussing the merits of anything?

Wow... Even at her age she has more wisdom and self awareness than a nation full for Becky’s, Chad’s, and honestly, a whole bunch of her black elders too. I wish her all the success, not that she needs me to...

Gurl. I think he’s bristling because he didn’t expect such resistance to his botting over here since his boy was installed, honestly. I don’t believe all his dark boasting (it’s pretty standard strongman dystopic) but I think it would really be a great idea if the national security infrastructure started investigating…
