Are Jack and Jill clubs still a thing?

Are you one of the infection control people at my hospital? Because we get that speech every week during our COVID update call. Also to stop it with the nosedicking (although they use the more professional cover your damn nose) and was your hands thoroughly for 20 seconds.  

I probably forgot to pull that m*****f***er down when I got in the car. Having had dat Rona back in June, pulling it down ain’t at the top of my to do list.

I live in Califire (yup) and the smoke is overwhelmingly in the air, even with my vents closed in my car.

“No word yet on who’s responsible,”

That one was in Britain. I can’t help you there. The one in Talladega, there’s an ad company that took money to fly that banner. I’ve tried to figure out who flew the plane, but I’ve not been able to so far. I thought I had, but they deny they had anything to do with it and I can’t show otherwise.

Exactly how many black folks do you think are getting their news ONLY from Michael Harriot’s articles? That was an odd claim.

DRUMLINE!!! The day this movie gets old for me is the day I no longer want to live.

“He’s not in this part of the book” seems like a pretty weak defense. Like, that doesn’t mean he’s fired, that means he’s on hold. Also, if you were planning on making Anansi Boys, and having Jones reprise his role for that, he also wouldn’t really be fired.

To be fair, you would have to be stupid to ever use Chase in the first place. This is one of the main players that caused the Great Recession and has a long history of screwing it’s customers.

This is not just Arizona and its not just Chase. Discriminatory practices happen with Black people and money everyday. Like our money isn’t green like everyone else’s. Even certain banking or financial services wont be offered to you if you’re Black because of the assumptions of us and money.

I do new hire training where I work, and it’s phone support. I felt so bad for one of our new hires (she’s east asian) on a call she had. Mr. Arizona asshole started peppering her with questions about her ability and education as soon as he saw her name appear on his screen and she finally shut his ass up by fixing…

Mayor Pete probably thinks those prospective clients would have been approved by the bank had they been given better role models in their neighborhoods.

There are only three reasons that anyone would conflate blackness with undereducation, laziness, unemployment or dope dealing:

I once sat next to an African-American female on a very long flight. It was exactly like sitting next to anyone else, amazingly enough. Somehow she managed to avoid rapping, twerking or engaging in any form of stereotypical behavior that scares the delicate racists among us. I know, incredible, right?

During more than a decade of frequent air travel, there were so many incidents of white nonsense, both encountered and witnessed, against POC/Black people, particularly women and their children. As if they owned it, the toubab really were prone to cut up in first class! For. No. Damn. Reason. Other than they felt…

I once had an man complain about sitting next to me on a flight out of Palm Beach. Based on his appearance I am guessing that he was Orthodox Jewish.  He asked the flight attendant to move me and I kindly told him he could move if was so scared of a woman.  

I agree with Kathy. I guess the flight attendant wanted to spare a girl travelling alone a confrontation but I would have liked her to say “sure sir, come to the front of the plane” then when he got up there, say “sir please alight the aircraft, we do not accept this racism on our flights”.

So white people, if you ever wonder why we come here and talk shit, its because most of us have a lifetime worth of stories they can tell you just like that one.

Of course. It always plays into racists hands that black folks are barely restrained savages and then they oh-so-helpfully go about trying to make that true. That and the typical racist troll’s screed about “You black folks don’t do enough to reach out to people scared of you to show them you aren’t a threat.” or some…
