You know it’s good to see someone live their best life and find good love after undergoing so much hardship. We can all imagine the beaten-down, shell of a person she would have become had she stayed with Ike. 

Interesting that you called her ‘beastly’ and him ‘handsome’ because I think they’re equally matched looks-wise. But then I don’t make a habit of de-humanizing Black women.

Took my first trip to Europe, Spain actually, last month and it really was eye-opening. ‘Muricans like Barry who rage against the privilege they know is true should travel more too. Travel would widen the cracks in the Delusion of Superiority that Michael’s writing exposes. Riding the trains from Madrid to the small…

No cookies given for saving one’s own job especially when it was never really in danger.

And Roy Moore and Brett Kavanaugh...

“-meditated” part implies, deliberation, reflection, a prolonged amount of thought.”

Bet your bottom dollar the Blue Line is working on multi-prong approaches to body cams: the union is looking into legality, cities into diverting funding toward something more cop-defensive, private sector Blue Lives Matter Most-types on the physical and psychological effects wearing cams have on the cops health and…

I’ve seen it before; the author/perpetrator probably thinks his atonement is educating himself, writing this book (to inform others) and generally prospering. Some brain disconnects don’t re-grow: one is an obligation of debt to anyone deemed unworthy. See Vanessa was only ‘partly human’ cuz she was a girl and just som…

I remember seeing this book a few years back and thinking I’d get in the headspace to read it but never got around to it. I only half-believe in trigger warnings but I hope this book has one on the cover! That being said, just as I watch serial killer movies to get a glimpse into the mindset of those who stalk and…

No, Velveteen’s comments weren’t condescending but deeply appropriately explanatory to the simplistic seven word-question you posted on such a serious topic given the gravitas with which it was reported. We will know you by your words so have more of whatever tea you drank for your second more composed post before you…

See, they’ve called me Petty Betty for decades because I read the stories, from multiple outlets then I follow them when everyone else has moved on. I’m not fazed by the PR stunts, happy family portraits and interviews, I hold a grudge and I vote with my dollars, my eyes, ears and support. Larry Wilmore and I welcome…

Not just tired but exhausted and continually disappointed. I grow weary of wishing, hoping and praying that we can TRY to hold ourselves to certain standards. That we could claim some nobility in a few areas if for no other reason than just to disprove some of the stuff they’ve said about us throughout history! I…

Not to mention being an adult really means doing a buncha crap you DON’T wanna do (with a straight face and a civil tongue) just to be able to SOMETIMES do what you want!

I’m convinced schadenfreude isn’t always a bad thing. Neighborhood Precinct delegates encounter voter apathy and all the requisite arguments from young, old and the just plain pissed. Reminding them how badly many didn’t want us to have the vote and how many people were hurt, screwed outta their money and died for us…

When Adam Lanza’s mother took her certified crazy, kiddie porn-watching weirdo son to the gun range to learn and practice firing large weapons capable of killing scores of humans, then he killed her first before shooting all those WHITE 1st-graders in Sandy Hook ...white women and all their presumptive innocence and…

These little girls are so self-possessed! I hate that this happened to them but I’m so proud that they could articulate what happened with feeling and insight. Their entire family should be so proud of them. I’m already claiming them as god-daughters! May this propel them forevermore to go wherever they want and NEVER …

Must I say: I’m a follower of JC’s teachings found in a certain book but I don’t believe in stoning homosexuals, women being silent in the church and various other things many people do...or can I just say I’m a Christian and you’ll come to know my issues and eccentricities?

It’s sad what you took from this excellent article is ‘dividing the victims by race’. None of the history of how America views victims, none of the assignment of innocence versus the mitigation of impact, none of the wrong-headed community support of lack there of. Just All Victims Matter? No, nope and naw!

Yeah, this guy is mad he didn’t get the promotion he deserved under Their system. Take whatever job you want (and can get) but WATCH AND LEARN their systems, not just Your Job! Collaborate with other oppressed minorities then Sit and THINK of what would collapse the system then play the long game by setting small…

Welcome to the Oligarchy! Where the rich, who are OBVIOUSLY smarter than mere mortals through selective breeding and rigorous education at the finest institutions (entrance based solely on a academic merit) completely disregard low-level criminal basics like: limiting the number of employees and outside people…
