Actually Washington set about 100 people free - out of 300 on his plantation - because the remaining people “belonged” to his wife. Jefferson set roughly 6 people free - out of 400 to 600 on his plantation. Those 6 were the offspring that he sired with Sally Hemmings. The myth that they released them from bandage is…

Every time you take a step forward you take 5 backwards.

While I agree and ascribe to his most recent views and non-usage of the word - if someone had video of me circa 1992-93 and prior they might have some of me using it in the “familiar endearment” sense. I got an enlightenment and more education and now detest it like a former smoker hates cigarettes. HOWEVER, I’m not…

Georgia is the Dollar General Florida 

Many times we don't have civil or human rights even with corroborating video evidence, eye witnesses and muthafuckas admitting fault. 

I’m on ep. 4 now as I had been awaiting its arrival for a few weeks to help with my Lovecraft withdrawal. It’s good. Very good. Less open minded white folk will not believe these things happen- and continue to happen. The acting is excellent and I truly am enjoying the ride with no idea how it will end. I’m sure the…

No, no you are not. The system is still working as designed. These fuckbois will see no discipline or loss of job or income. They will be able to continue business as usual. And it’s things like this - after George Floyd protests worldwide - that will continue to put the police at odds with Black and Brown folks

RIP X. He was part of the soundtrack of my college years. Sorry that he couldn’t get ahold of what was plaguing him. Rest in power.

You beat me to it. there are so many instances of domestic terrorism against melanated people it’s not hard to miss a few

fucking hilarious

I have read your posts over the years. You're usually very insightful. That's worth more than multiple viewing of a movie. You win. 

It was an example. I am also not a coffee drinker (Starbucks is expensive) nor a sneaker head. I think movies (and cars and comics) are my vices. If I like them I see them a couple times. 

Which is why I had the qualifier of how many times it was seen in the theater. Minimally 3, for example, would get the points. This doesn't include cable or ownership. 

This is what's bad: I have never even heard of this movie and I am a movie buff. So much so that, knowing nothing about it, I had absolute certainty the Clifton Powell would be in the cast. Clifton Powell and the sun rising in the east are my moorings in life. 

So we just gon’ act like Black Panther isn’t the biggest Black film of all time? The qualifier could be the number of times watched - in the theater. And none of the Poitier-Cosby movies? Let’s do it again? Uptown Saturday night? Really?

Technically speaking, looking at his wife, he is not seeing color. He is in fact seeing the absence of color, hence the pride in her whiteness. She probably doesn't see color either ...except green. That contract to coach I'm sure is wonderful 

The melanin makes it so. Your opinion is verifiably factual 

And your credentials are...what exactly? Like...do you have the same verifiable information that the researcher showed of the commonality of racist attitudes/ideals of the sample studied? Or are you just a contrarian who doesn’t want to call an obvious thing a thing because ....um...racism doesn’t exist or some other…

Amen
