Van is definitely biracial, but she also fees more like a caricature than a real person (and she’s gotten worse). Pretty much all of her episodes have been about her functioning as an accessory to Earn or being affected by something he’s done. Just because they commented on it doesn’t mean they’ve fixed it. (The one…

If you have to ask...you’re not black. Sorry.

due to his questionable relationship to black women

Also I just don’t like Donald Glover, due to his questionable relationship to black women. This is also why I remain cool on Jordan Peele.

You get a star just for mentioning my favorite writer of all time.

I agree about the other examples but not Atlanta. Atlanta is the new “Have you seen the wire?” with white people. It’s stanned for by every relevant white boy critic. I mean walk over to the av club it’s the only show with black people they don’t hate. In fact that’s part of the reason I have yet to give it an honest…

White people ain’t shit.

Everytime I see a video like the one featuring Chicken Coop Cooper (I’m thinking that would be his line name) I am reminded of a couple of paragraphs from Chester Himes If He Hollers Let Him Go (1947)

Conservatives are losing.their.goddamn.minds.

I want to be surprised by this but I’m not. Facebook is the same entity that allows white supremacists to go on their merry way on their pages but will shut down Black people who comment on racism. It doesn’t surprise me at all that they were made aware of the scam and did nothing. I’m sure they knew good and goddamn…

This, this, this. I’m glad someone else picked up on that. All kinds of people have read Mike for filth, but here his dirty ass is sitting in Joy’s mentions ‘cause why again?

Wow, another craven White person profiting off of Black pain. Same as it ever was.

Family, dont skip over a big part of his comment: ‘niggas.’ He wasn’t just loud and wrong coming for Joy Ann Reid, he was talking about US. He didn’t say, ‘this nigga,’ he went plural noun, as if niggas in general are hypocritical in the way he was wrongly attributing to Joy Ann. As a nigga, I’m okay with being…

I love Joy Reid more all the time. She damn well better get the evening time slot as soon as Chris Matthews’ head explodes on live TV.

Yep. A picture of three successful women, and Failure to Yield Mike thought he had the perfect target.

I continue to be confused by Killer Mike’s hashtag activism for black gun ownership. Is there a movements to deny black people from owning guns I don’t know about? Are black people being killed in the streets because the government is withholding our rights to guns.... or are we being killed because there is the…

You are too kind...LOL! I agree I find him at times refreshing and I think it’s great he speaks out and am looking forward to his black ownership discussion but Bruh is being used by all the wrong people in all of the wrong ways.

It is easy to castigate Killer Mike by pointing and saying “he got owned,”on social media because he misunderstood a particular fact. His critics may seem like they are hating because they are quick to point out his mistake without acknowledging his larger point.

some of my other favorite responses (*adds this one*)

Thats not the reality. The reality is you’re afraid to acknowledge the fact that hundreds/thousands of years of racism has left you hopelessly weak and now you seek to drag down others in order to make yourself feel good.
