It’s sad to say this but these shootings need to continue to happen in red states in red counties if you want to see change happen. Sandy Hook, for example, was a blue state so flipping the house / senate seat was a moot point.

Someone who looks at you funny for reading something other than the sports page or when they see that you’re actually reading and not playing a game on your kindle

Where are you in Cali? I’m assuming you live in an urban area. My man got reassigned to some area with lots of farms for work and he said it’s redder than when he lived in West Virginia.

The robo call that tells you that you called them looking for health insurance

Comgrats on the adoption. What date did they do your ceremony?

Can’t keep my name out your mouth I see....

If I take that as a yes.

I’m happy that we can disagree without being disagreeable.

And I also said:

My bully comment wasn’t directed towards you.

No need for you to feel for me; I can stand on my own two feet and cook with an opinion that’s unpopular.

Statistically speaking, all of my examples are outlies. I’m well aware of that.

I know; this is all playing out like when folks say “I would never do / say that” and then you find yourself in that situation. We already know how men have acted in that situation.

I don’t think she was fully in on his plan. She knew things on a need to know basis. He was never going to bring her to Wakanda and have her be his queen. And the mere fact that Klaw was trying to use lord her over Killmonger in an attempt alter his plans.

I make no distinctions between power of women and power over men. In the movie, Killmonger used the same tatics on men as he did women. The author points out these things and calls them toxic masculinity. Black Panther is a poor movie to use in an attempt to call our toxic masculinity because the Panther’s protectors…

So you’re saying that Mrs. Marcos didn’t use the same tools of intimidation, fear, cunning, and the willingness to kill if need be?? So you’re telling me she used diplomacy?

No.

The endgame is the author associated Killmonger’s tatics to be linked to toxic masculinity which is not the case because anyone, man or woman, can use those tools. From the mean girl on the bus, to your favorite Real Housewives character, to a world leader.
