Love me some Taraji P Henson: so smart and innovative with her creative choices. Really glad she unpacked that BGM bandwagon. Whenever I think of the alleged magic of Black girls I think of that 14 year old in the bikini who was body slammed to the concrete at a teen pool party and mounted by a grown man, a police…

Yawn. A rest stretch there...oh my. 

Define please. Have the cojones not to hide behind an acronym. Define. 

Well done. Say what you say. 

Yeah. Street level crime, shooters, home invasions, carjackings, robbery and rape are real problems for real Black people in Atlanta. No matter where you live! Police? Part of the problem, not part of the solution. Check the stats zone N.Y. zone if you like. Just remember a lot goes unreported. It’s not all about the…

Nicely done. Now let the games begin!

I realize that. What’s really funny is. Gender benders at least in Atlanta seem bound and determined to let me know it. What’s up with THAT? I can see you. How could I not? So. Fall hack with the presumptove lecture to the well neaning liberal la di da. Not everybody is on rhat page. We already evaluate by the content…

Blessed are the pure at heart...

What itsnotaboutthepasta said. This has worked among professional event managers including at press conferences for years. The moderator takes a number of questions, on index cards it used to be, and submits to the panelists or speaker. Idiots don’t get to whine, berate, wander off subject, duplicate, insult or…

Tpo cool gor school. Finesed this whole thing. Not his fault Co gress, the most piwerfil legiskativ3 bodybin the country, is hobbled. Trump must have gangster ish on so many of these players: for now --it’s just ✔ Next play Nanci should be GOT crazy.

Wait a minute. You call it a hoax but still think he did not lie. Who lied then? Who called the police? Seems to me this hapless white girl needs to shut up and accept her blessings. Severe prosecution for a first offense on filing a false report concerning bank fraud pales in comparison to filing a false report…

Real talk. Plain speech this morning! On not committing sororicide.

Who? Probably not. Never heard of him. Suck teeth. Italy or an Italian city ( correction please) had a Black M/R Miss Italy not so long ago. So. Probanly not. We are everywhere and in fashion willing to go anywhere. Are you kidding me? Nah. He’s pitching to insecure wypipo. . It’s that FN¬ squared thing: you know one…

This sort of bothers me. We don’t see Blackness as limiting, as ‘ghetto’ for lack of a better word’ in my family. We encompass all. This idea of negritude is not the Blackness I adore. I just don’t see his point of view as inclusive, as both/and. In my family are Africa, Asia, Amerindia and the usual assortment of…

Well. Im tempted to lean in to defend her on points, her poor definition of nationalism and the horrid persona she used to make her point not withstanding, but  without all the emotional attacks and finger pointing above. She needs a coach among other things. The personal comments are unwarranted and as a Black woman r…

Love that. "Empathy, try some."

Er. Understand your ire but not enough said. And the source of thus resentment is what? Right. Unearned privilege. A meritocracy inside black communities that demonizes dark skin. Yoy are cirrect: it is not fair to be evakuated as a human being based.on the color of your skin. Darker skinned people did not create this…

Got one better. A brother friend, quite elderly but strong and lucid, a veteran of the BPP and the Vietnam War. was at the. Gate of No Return visiting the Slave Coast with his family. A white woman accused him of touching her butt! Cussed completely out! The African police wanted him to shush. He did not. Ended well…

Well imho it’s pandering to that colorism thing in reverse. Is there such a thing? Idk. I just thought of it in relation to the somewhat disturbing episode that addressed the issue on Blackish. Disturbing because it took the youngest to point out how she felt condescended to ( pitied) in her own family. So now,…

Indeed. Very much underrated but Julie Dash’s film is hands down one of the best 100 films of the 20th Century (National Film Archives) and still gets standing ovations at international film festivals. Plus, if you read credits you will see her work throughout the industry. Remember Alfre Woodard and Loretta Devine in…
