The sad part of this is the very people that need to hear this stopped as soon as they saw the picture of the author. A few read through a couple of paragraphs and as soon as they saw themselves in the mirror, they stopped reading. A few more “humored the author” for the purposes of being “woke” and started the 12…

Dale mas!

Xombi and Blood Syndicate?  Please?   

Filed under not surprising. White people ignore everything that does not include them or does not make them feel superior to others. Anything that makes them feel bad, incompetent, look bad, evil, disingenuous, moronic, and/or does not go with their mythological ideal self is therefore deemed unworthy of…

The one and only good thing about this pandemic is that it has given me a (literal and figurative) moment of pause. I have had to focus upon me because that’s all I have in this domicile.  I have had to learn to be content with who I am, learn that I am happy with the core of me.  Since my contact with colleagues and…

I am assuming we may be the same age mas o menos. I believe we went through similar experiences. I had no expectations of living past 25 years old. Looking back there was no real reason for such doomsaying other than being a moreno latino that was targeted by the police, schools, etc. These experiences led me to my…

For the past few days I tried to stay out of the news cycle especially since the semester has started and I have classes to teach and faculty to manage. This is what I come back to? I do not believe there will be much rational discourse for this country over the next 50 years or so. There is nothing to hide behind;…

We laugh and we call Yertle out about this wack job; but she is dangerous.  She and the other idiot in Colorado are representatives of this craziness throughout the country.  

I had something witty to say. I changed my mind. Hey white people! Ya ever wonder why you get the side-eye? Ever wonder why BIPOC distrust you? Ever wonder why you receive so much vitriol?

Keep fucking that chicken.  

I am truly torn up about this.  

Not trying to hijack the thread but I just heard Cicely Tyson is dead.  Please someone tell me I am wrong.

I don’t hate to see it. I am here for it.

Thank you for the insight re: King.  I need to do some reading. 

John Coffey, Mother Abigail, Susannah/Detta Walker, etc. It is egregious AF. I cannot find the admission but I cannot call him a racist because of it. I have went to school with too many white people whose only experience of POC’s was through media. I still remember white friends (one who became my frat brother) in…

Once again, the biggest mistake (category: education. sub-category: student discipline*.) this terrified, puto/pendejo, nation did was to put LE in schools. The SRO is still an officer. Like all other officers, they get shit training for dealing with children. Teenagers are naturally defiant and will buck if given…

Totally off topic, but I need that hoodie on the right.  

I agree. Of course it would move to the digital realm. Creatives develop for the culture and it is stolen because it is inviting and fun. Then they take it and twist it for their purposes based upon false perception. In writing, I used to believe that Stephen King was the worst in portraying POC, writing blackface if…

The problem of mass incarceration started with Nixon and his “build 1 million prisons” statement. This, along with the Southern Strategy and the codifying of POC=crime after the Civil Rights Act of 1964, led to the millions of BIPOC being incarcerated and the creation of the school to prison pipeline.

I agree and will go one step further:  White people practicing white culture give white people a bad name.
