This is always a contentious subject and I agree that only a lifetime of honest reflection is enough to change most people’s minds.

He thinks he’s a king! People genuflect to the king, they don’t ask hard questions of the king lest he have them beheaded. A king sends armies wherever for whatever reason. They fire people who annoy them.You can see that he felt his ascension to the Presidency was based on his wealth instead of bloodline; the…

I’ll break out all the links just as soon as you cut and paste my exact comment where I typed hitting kids was “THE MOST EFFECTIVE PARENTING TACTIC”. Are you being deliberately disingenuous or are you just really bad at inferring correctly from what you read?

What is reverence but fear of the consequences of disrespect?

Flame ON, my Sissuh! I’m weeping over here! Every single point and every way you put it! I’m not alone in this universe - wait, are you me? Have I had a psychotic break from the reaffirmation of racism elections last night and typed this in my sleep?!

As an item found in a alleged murder plot, Ms. Judge wrote facetiously, “What was the crushed Tylenol going to do? Get rid of their headache?”

You type a lot signifying not much. And you’re not nearly as discerning a reader as you think. You just want to All Lives Matter virtue-signal.

Wait, you’re all over the map. You believe ‘no teacher, no hit’, and admit the teen was gunning for a punch but you’d rather the police did it? You’re on The Root advocating for the police to handle a kid this disrespectful to authority figures? Then you reference a teen languishing unjustly in the criminal system?…

And they sing it in rap songs too! Notice this teen didn’t call the teacher any.other.slur! That kid undoubtedly knows the insults wetback and beaner too but he used THIS word against THIS man like the wounding weapon it is supposed to be. For all the rap songs he’s heard and memorized, he failed to grasp one of the fi…

Infants learn to trust their parents by crying and having their needs met quickly; reading early establishes their skills at looking at your facial expressions and listening to your voice and to build vocabulary. You talk and explain to toddlers how things work and they listen because they trust you. You pop a hand…

Somebody,”When do we find out the ex brought DV charges against him at some point?”

Jitney was the side hustle of many an old man with big cars! My grandma wouldn’t have been able to get to or from the grocery store without the friendly informal drivers who helped you bring in your groceries!

Questions: how many of your white family’s kids are diagnosed ADD/ADHD? Who can’t sit still at school but are fine whenever Auntie DoRight looks at ‘em? Who’s been in and out of institutions for everything from anorexia to bulimia to threatening to kill their parents WHO NEVER SPANKED THEM? Who curses out the parents…

Rebel’s attitude is indicative of why the status quo of racism, colorism, exclusion, sexism, and male gaze-centering remains. Because whites minimize, parse and outright erase things that don’t exalt themselves. This perpetuates the delusion of superiority where only white women like Michelle Pfeiffer and Sandra…

As a former Survivor of Domestic Violence advocate who grew weary at the levels of recidivism, I observe the anecdotal evidence around me. While it is true that abusers of every color perform monsterous acts of extravagant violence regardless of the race of their victims, how does the public find out? The same way…

Trump would call him a dirty, socialist hippie and while the Secret Service threw Him to the ground, urge his supporters to stone Him as an enemy of the people. Any disciples who appeared with Him would try to intervene, but Jesus would see the futility, stop them and quietly weep awaiting his court date, for which no…

Sissuh Willis said it succinctly, “I think that Trump believers are...the devil themselves.”

There is literally NO ONE more desperate and willing to resort to treachery than a white man who thinks he will lose to a Black woman!

That’s the key to giving credibility to your complaint to a business: never accept their first offer of appeasement! You can anticipate they receive so many unfounded accusations, scams designed to elicit free stuff, or just mis-interpretations of attitudes. So, I usually write my complaints (I think it conveys…

My brotha, goldfish crackers in a reachable dish outside of the crib will buy you a few extra minutes of shut-eye!
