Same. Facebook hasn’t been that bad with the exception of some of my groups. Twitter tho? Lordy. 

I was on a twitter convo where black women were expressing disdain because of her role as AG. There was a lot of “well I’m going to wait for a statement” blah blah blah. I pointed out all the articles, blog posts, the statement she made on Monday. The answers. Are. Right. There. Yet they scoffed at the idea of doing…

My sister and I did that when we were two. Our mom rushed us to the hospital. I actually don’t know how they cleared our stomachs.  A supposed child proof bottle that wasn’t twin proof.

He was a child. A 12 year old child. You were a perfect woke person at the age of 12? Never said or did anything stupid? Never had a had a less than PC moment? When I was 18 I was against gay marriage, abortion, feminism, and generally pretty conservative. At 34 I wear the mantle of social justice warrior with honor,…

I...do that on occasion. I keep a pair of heels at my desk and sometimes forget to change out of my sneakers. No one looks at my feet so I guess it’s all good. 

I’ve would start giggling at the pics, but the gif of the googly eyes sent me over the edge. Full on tears down my face belly laugh for like 5 minutes. I needed that laugh. 

SAME. Sans bonnet of course but, Mini dress and cape? Totally my aesthetic.

Where are you hanging out that makes you think DC is boring? I’ve lived here for 13 years and DC is anything but boring. We have culture, interesting people, a rapidly growing food and drink scene, and you can walk everywhere. 

Please state your source? I tried to Google it and nothing came up. 

Yeah, that is a whole nother trauma. When you’re white friend accepts you because you are “one of the good ones”. If we were more urban they wouldn’t have let us in their lives. I’m so glad I’m at the point where I don’t put up with that shit anymore. But it’s been a journey. Thank goodness for therapy. 

Both of my parents are black Americans. My mother made sure we heard our stories and exposed us to black culture. She was insistant that my very white school district taught Black History as part of the curriculum, especially beyond the bare bones mentions most places engaged in. She also made sure we knew the stories…

That might have been your experience, but it wasn’t mine. The white kids mostly left me alone. I wasn’t included but I wasn’t really mistreated either. The black ones though? Bullied me over the way I talked(too white), my hair(too nappy), my interests(not black enough), the way I dressed(not cool enough), my…

I was wondering the same i.e cost. I’ve heard that stat before and I wonder how true it is? 

I do have one last thought on the topic that I’ve been struggling to expesss. While yes, Harriett Tubman was American, historically she would’ve been closer related to slaves of African desent than people of our time. We paint her with a modern lense, yet she was born around 1822, only 15 years after the Transatlantic…

Oh, and if you come here with “but she hasn’t apologized” I literally don’t care. I care about her attitudes and behavior today, not what she was up to a decade ago. 

Are we really using 8 year old tweets to discredit someone? Is that actually what we are doing right now? Smdh. We all have said and done stupid shit. We all have the chance to evolve our mindsets and opinions on life. 8 years ago I wasn’t woke at all. 5 years ago I was just becoming interested in feminism and BLM. So…

As someone who up until a few years ago struggled with my place as a black woman in society I am willing to give her a pass. One thing we don’t talk about enough is identity politics. I grew up in a mostly white town as a kid, and then moved to an area that had a larger ratio of black folk at as a young teen. While I…

I didn’t know she insulted a friend of yours(burner and I are sisters). That’s disappointing to hear.

I would agree if this was someone who was an amateur or untested but Ms Enrivo is a brilliant actress and had the chops to do Harriet Tubman justice. This isn’t a matter of her stealing a role from someone more deserving, it’s the director recognizing her talent. 

I’m genuinely curious. How was Luvvies supposed diss of Tevin Campbell an example of Black foreign privilege? She didn’t dismiss his talent, just pointed out he hasn’t been relevant in a while. And even if it was a diss of his talent how is that Black foreign privilege? I’m not being argumentative by the way, I’m just…
