Reclaiming My Time

I spent my childhood in the Caribbean where trucks would regularly drive up and down the streets, spraying insecticide in the air to cut down on mosquitoes. Our mothers looked at those trucks with relief instead of consternation.

Not true. It’s our lifestyle. Just think about how many lawns are used to grow and cut grass instead of producing food.

You’re right, but you forgot to add that women are more sympathetic to men too. Just look at all of those women who voted for ‘grab em by the pussy’ Trump without batting an eye. Look at the women dancing to R Kelly’s music.

Every time people start closing in on R Kelly, he churns out a gospel-esque song of “deliverance”.... “I Believe I can Fly” came in the midst of the furor over him pissing in the mouth of a VISIBLY 14 year old girl. And many black churches had the mitigated GALL to call it a ‘transition’ song and play it in church —

How about both? “The Life Destroyer Hurricane... brought to you by Exxon.”

Wait a minute... isn’t this the same woman who was the most aggressive defender of Trump after his “grab em by the pussy” video, even after Republicans distanced themselves from it?! The mind boggles.

Agreed! I still use my cheerleading voice when commanding the attention of others. It makes grown men tighten up their butt cheeks and stand up a bit straighter.

I have hated Kevin Hart ever since he seconded calling the Rutger’s female basketball team “nappy headed ho’s”. I’m glad that his life sucks right now.

“Would a black woman who wanted to rap have been told to do pop instead? Would a black woman, even one from Australia, be told she wasn’t welcome?”

My GOD those backup singers are PURE FIRE.

Have you ever lived in a country where judges have total impugnity? I have. You better thank your lucky stars that the threat of recalls exist.

Bullshit. If Brock’s name was actually Tyrone or Pedro, the book would have been thrown at him, and you know it.

THANK YOU. Somebody called the local WAWA a “bodega” and I was totally confused.

It might be best for you to put iron bars on your windows, bubble wrap yourself for safety, and to order everything from Amazon. The rest of us New Yorkers and Philly-ites will take our bodegas, kthanxbai.

Fuck them. You can’t get fresh fruit, West Indian spices, or a cool, brisk walk of purpose from a damn vending machine.

Or she’s a “kumbaya-I-don’t-see-color” type of white mother, who just can’t won’t acknowledge how profound racism is in this country.

I’m tired of fighting racism in America anymore. It’s like trying to empty an ocean using a teaspoon.

“Around Chicago” is still solidly Midwest.

Wtf Clintons hailed from Arkansas.
