Jerry refuses to acknowledge one thing: police brutality can (or, will) affect any of the Black members of his team/the coaching staff/staff that belongs to the stadium. All it takes is an opportunity and “skittish” officers that “fear for their lives”.

Let’s make a list of white christian churches that are good for black folk, either in the past or now:

I will be inspecting the outfits when I see this movie to figure out my cosplay for Comic Con 2018. I will not shave my head because I will be cold but I will find a character and I will cosplay because it’s about time a black woman gets to be someone other than Storm at Comic Con.

I’m not sure what you thought you were responding to there.

The thing is... this SHOULDN’T be “political”.

Curious that your demand was “keep politics out of football by preventing protests” and not “keep politics out of football by skipping the National Anthem and the jingoist bullshit that is performed alongside it”.

When someone’s raping your twelve year old, there’s no better tool than immediacy.

yeah but @ just $5 that makes it better.

If you told my choices were Pizza Hut or Little Caesar’s I’d ride my bike to Kroger and buy some Garlic Naan, tomatoes (or sauce), and cheese,

Between that nutcase surfer and this memo, it’s good to know that even in the midst of a natural disaster, Florida is still gonna Florida.

Yes to all of this. I saw her on the first night in Chicago and though I’ve seen her - and been moved by her -before , this tour felt different. Maybe it was because it started raining in the middle of the show which made her have to change choreo and wipe makeup out of her eyes as she sang, but it felt so very…

You mean eisegesis, and you’re kind of a dick. Beyoncé’s art is succeeding in some cases in making people more woke, and if someone is proud for getting something, at long last, for being woken up, for seeing, why not?

The question really just came out wrong. What he meant to ask was:

Zoe also does not identify as being black. She's publically identified as being Dominican, but with all of the issues with anti-blackness there, I highly doubt Zoe views herself as a black woman

The one that I use is to engage other white folks on the topic of institutionalized white privilege. We have to teach each other that it’s there, and that it’s real, and that we have a role (a big role) in checking ourselves on it — in our conduct, in our choice of words, and in the subtle thought-mechanics that…

Read this while listening to the new Missy and I am just filled to the brim with black girl magic right now.
