The home is a controlled situation where you learn behaviors to be remembered and deployed in uncontrolled situations. It is imperative that kids learn to accept authority first before they learn to question it. It’s THE PARENT’S job to remove/mitigate dangerous things AND people but things happen and kids need to…

Somebody could have graciously included a pic of Tyler so I didn’t have to Google. And, you are correct!

Thank you for this perspective! I am so touched to hear about the respect and care given to these Black soldiers by strangers! God bless them! NPR is so good at these kinds of stories!

The key phrase here is that the teacher is tenured. She was never going to be fired.

How many of these kids have great grandfathers who were eager to join the fight in WWII to save white and white-adjacent people while happily ignoring and enforcing Wisconsin’s own oppression of Native Americans and Blacks? Or gleefully participating in military segregation, discrimination and bigotry against Black…

“I really felt that I could get caught up in his swerving, that I would just become part of his swerve rather then figuring out my own self... So that I didn’t just become his woman, which I knew I didn’t want to be.”

Oh, that clip makes me laugh! Us and our hair!! We and our do’s!

Yeah, I recognize this guy, he’s the white (or other) guy when asked about his celebrity Black woman crush would list Zendaya, Halle Berry or Jada Pinkett types. If forced, he ‘accept’ a thin, submissive real world Black woman but blurt,”they’re always too loud or have kids”. Meanwhile, his browser history is full of…

You mean to tell me he did all this punching and stabbing and they were the only two people on the NYC trains?! Why didn’t some Black man intervene and bust his lil ass?! Hell, I’m a woman and I just stopped my car, got out and confronted a 5'4" white woman calling a 6'3" Black man a bunch of muhfukkas about a fender…

I’ve been called for jury duty twice and never made it out of the waiting area! I soooo want to sit on a jury and use my keen ability to read people (using the patented Church Lady squinty assessment) and hear some of the crap defenses! It’s probably for the best since I’d also wanna question all the witnesses and…

I had hoped Eric Holder’s DOJ report on Ferguson would be the impetus for Obama to Exec Order some version of the following (bear with me, I’m no legal scholar): Declare police unions illegal, as they are public, therefore all protections voided (including limited after-incident interviews). New Federal database of…

It matters not what RZA does with the rest of his life. He is, and will always be the man who allowed Russell Crowe to spit in a Black woman’s face.

Stop trying to make #NotAllMassShooters happen!

With all the other intimacies that we share to teach and learn and store as a future resource for others, somehow this is still kept secret. Then when it happens to you, you feel singled out and alone, unhealthy and somehow undeserving. I think it speaks to underlying competitiveness with other women that we all need…

I’m considering making a spreadsheet of some of Michael’s surgical strike takedowns categorized by wypipo-isms, parries and defenses. FedEx can print them on those Cards Against Humanity playing cards to keep in my purse. Twice in three days I’ve had to take down some idiots who were shocked at the lightning speed…

The whole miniseries was fascinating in showing just how weird, antisocial, sociopathic behavior is tolerable in wealthy white men! He’s got advanced intelligence in a diabolical sense but paradoxically, that same brain is so under-developed in other critical areas! His arrogance is so unearned but, like Trump, he…

The room grew quiet at the bridal shower for the upcoming first marriage of a 40-something Holy Roller I knew. We had thought her 90+yo grandma was asleep in her wheelchair in the corner when she spoke quite loudly and clearly,”I don’t know how you’re gonna do it...but...somehow, some way...you’ve GOT to find out what…

Give thanx that you never had co-mingled laundry. There’s NO WAY his didn’t look like a chocolate factory explosion!

So far, you’ve commented about the efficacy of crushed Tylenol in bringing about an overdose or liver failure in a murder plot. You can’t name or quote perceived allusions to misandNoir or anti-miscegenation but you are compelled to comment. And your go-to insult is to call a person with Feminista as her screenname a…

It’s too bad that her honest race didn’t provide a decisive victory. I hope that being surrounded by supporters provided Ms. Abrams with some measure of comfort.
