I’m still reeling from the 16 year old boy who was held for 3 years for stealing a backpack. Never had a trial. Committed suicide when he was released from PRISON! Justice is not blind. It’s a rich white man’s game. That this boy hasn’t created a movement frightens and disgusts me. I recommend reading “Just Mercy” if

One might argue that a white idealistic female college student posting on FB about her white privilege is almost as effective as using your platform as a brilliant writer to mock that same idealistic student. Aren’t there better targets? I could name - oh - a thousand. This article makes you sound whiny and jealous -

Time to pepper the judge, the city, the school board and the governor with phone calls, emails and protests. Make them squeamish and uncomfortable. We know we’ve made an impact when we see their white faces on TV saying, “We are the least racist people ever.” Hmmm. Where have we heard that before? Pockets of evil need

This Easter, I couldn’t help but remember how a book written by those {who are now} portrayed as white men have used it to suppress women and people of color. That during “the good old days” slaves were told to Confess and then their Confessions were used to beat and lynch them. That their own African religions were

And while they’re at it, they should shut up about Obama too. The whole wiretapping thing and allusions to the Deep State are code for “we have no idea what we’re doing, so look over there!”

Not a big city, but Lynchburg, Virginia - home of Liberty University and Jerry Falwell - has got to be one of the worst places in terms of overt racism and misogyny.(They may not kill you, but they’ll spew their hate directly to your face.)  Nothing like stepping back into the 1950's. It’s a true Hellhole. Trump is

Just when I start losing all hope - there is a teenager somewhere with a brain, an attitude and a sense of humor to make things right again!

“Respecting the office of the presidency” is code for “get in line and don’t speak up.” I feel the same way about (most) religions. Being quiet and “repectful” is not appropriate when evil is being perpetrated. Trump needs to be called out, his supporters need to be called out, and all the white women who voted for

There’s a Rachel Dolezal joke in here somewhere. (Sorry)

Most police officers have only a high school education. In some departments the hiring age is as low as 18. They put them through a three to six month academy and reward them with a gun and an attitude. Most of them don’t know the law outside of the basics. Many (aka white) people give the police way too much credit.

It is so important to call out Casey Affleck and his ilk (as you have done.) Even though he is now an Oscar winner and will probably flourish, it is so important to the victims of these crimes to have someone believe them and provide support. Even the smallest acknowledgement can be lifesaving. I know what it’s like

They could offer a reward. Seems reasonable.

They waited for Ben Carson and Omarosa to leave before snapping the photo... 

Hands up don’t shoot! Look! I’m one of you! Really...

How awesome would it have been to see Adele (or any white person) reject their award and call out the obvious racism at the Grammys? Now that would have been spectacular! I saw a lot of white male faces standing behind Adele on stage when she accepted her award. (I maybe saw one or two black or brown faces - which is

Brava! Brava! This man is ugly inside and out. No amount of photoshopping can hide the evil that oozes out of him like a septic tank. Your blog is right on AND brave. Don’t be silenced.

I absolutely agree! When someone tells you who they are - Listen! If you support Trump, you aren’t just supporting a political point of view - you are supporting racism, mysogyny, bigotry, ignorance, and hate. It’s like someone telling you they support the KKK - it is no different. There is no debate. Ditch em.

I agree. I think that is why Trump keeps hammering away at rhe voter fraud thing. When he is up for reelection he is going to use his “investigation ” to nullify the election and declare himself the winner based on voter fraud.
