I hope that by highlighting the everyday indignities that POC have to endure just by asking for common courtesies in commercial interactions, white people can start to see how much privilege they enjoy. Maybe then they can stop denying its existence and acknowledge how it births the ‘bad attitudes’ they lament we all…

Taking you out of the greys to reveal your fallacious ‘whitesplaining’. White people are infamously territorial (see Manifest Destiny) about stealing the land from the indigenous Native People. They then defend their theft vociferously and to the death, often by employing U.S. government forces to expel and repel…

Or the equivalent price of the smallest box of cookies your boss’ kid is selling right befor your annual performance review. He (and we) ain’t impressed and you’ll be lucky to get the standard 3% raise and more obvious nod in the mornjng..

Oh, Michael, my brother of the NightWatch. Thank you again for your vigilance against the White walkers! Because they prowl about seeking those whom they may devour, may your watch never end!

After years of being a Food Network graduate student, I drove about 2 hrs from a mid-Florida vacation condo to Miami specifically to eat at Emeril LaGasse’s restaurant. The area was near Versace’s house and everyone looked like uber-rich supermodels and their international Playboys and I was a little intimidated. I arr…

“If his fists were in the air, you could see there was nothing in his hands.” That methodical, measured legal counter to the anticipated,”I feared for my life” police defense is brilliant!

Y’all know and just don’t want to think it or say it out loud! A NY rich asshole gained and appealed to Farmers and poor racists whites who need to feel superior after Obama showed them they weren’t. So he said he’d make America Great AGAIN. When (in their minds) was that?

Somehow he can't remember CUBA?! Wonder why?!

I don’t follow sports until news of it is inescapable so I only read The Root story. I was honestly positing my anecdotal knowledge of how Black men act when a white woman breaks up with them. I kinda recall first noting the hysterical, irrational, murderous behavior of Black men who believe they’ve gained and somehow…

“the smartest people, are smart enough to understand that language is malleable and the people who use it according to strict specifications aren’t necessarily smarter than those who mold it into something relatable.”

This is why the Venue diagram of white feminism and Black feminism don’t intersect. You’d rather wholeheartedly accept and vociferously support Rashida to represent Black people without regard to the Black woman running, because she made the requisite gestures of inclusion? Ok sisters, that’s all you needed to see,…

Thanx for acknowledging my points. I also understand that suicides often don’t look like what we imagine. But tellingly, you don’t address my very reasonable points about why the mother should be believed. Maybe you couldn’t forecast a suicide but some people just know things. Like I know firsthand about the almost…

Why prop up less qualified women because they are more palatable? This is the goal of the rumor-mongers and why Trump started giving better-qualified people undeserved nicknames! To taint the strongest candidates. We need to stop being so quick to concede the fight when the rules are crooked and the opponent is…

The thinking that Hillary should sit down because She-Is-Disliked, despite her having all the education, qualifications and experience is so remarkably similar to what happens to Female Executives in offices everyday!

Like every white person denying their racism, Hillary Hatred is exactly about misogyny FIRST before anything else, there may be other things but...she is an almost singular symbol of women being either a chick allowed to work but is still submissive to a man/rushing home to cook & clean or a new type: educated & indepe…

At the same time we find out that she was white. And that her family members that he was going to kill ‘disapproved’ of their relationship making her Jungle Fever temporary. Meanwhile, his mother, aunts and girl cousins are the ones in the courtroom crying in support, online setting up GoFundMe accounts and rallying…

Once again: why are y’all still answering these Beckys’ questions?! They have no right to ask and you keep empowering them by answering! No answer you give suffices becausethey just want authority!

That backstory sounds like some White Nonsense spouted by the new token Black writer trying to show his Hood Bonafides.

You’re out here doin’ the Lord’s work: finding a few non-racist white folk (even if they want to stay on the down-to-earth with their racist friends). It ain’t much, after last week, but it might be just the mustard seed of hope I need to carry on til next week.

And that woman is not hysterical and certainly doesn’t seem to be one of those,“my son is a good boy”-types defending an idiot and divorced from from what we all can see. A Black woman knows if her son would hang himself (or use another method), surely knows what bedsheets she likely bought and washed herself a…
