Who could say? Always distrust easy answers offered up quickly.

Gems to counter the Immigrant with 20¢ Making It Myth? Well, you could start with did Grandma Pennies sons get lynched when they got here or are they alive to help fund her retirement? Did the XYZ business they opened get systematically cited and fined by bureaucratic racism or seized by the government to make way for…

I haven’t been in a Payless since 7pm on an Easter Eve when a friend realized his son didn’t have shoes for church with Granny the next morning. That kid is out of college now and has probably started a family!

That’s my take. There are thirsty Chickies out there and there are plenty of men with even the tiniest bits of charm or power or money who rejoice in using that thirst to do whatever they want to them. The work related stuff could have been hers, true or it could have been gleaned from his conversations or papers in…

Seems like some rich people one-upsmanship. Eniko, the wife hires some white party planner who did some other famous person’s party and this is the theme she came up with. I gotta believe PollyPlanner was white cuz who ELSE thinks the common myth about courageous cowboys and savage Indians BUT whites? And who else…

I can believe just about any conspiracy theory about the deaths of the most visible and vocal activists in and around Ferguson. I can also believe in simplistic and sophisticated methods of murder. Because it’s been more than 50 years since Medgar Evars, Malcolm X, MLK, Bobby Seales, and all the less famous people who…

Aren’t these some of the same medications hospitals use to complete a miscarriage (in some stage of progress)? The article wasn't clear on that point.

I agree with your concerns. But, as with any sensitive issue, take a moment to be smart. I sincerely hope a woman has at least one good confidant who can help her think through her personal circumstances and any consider possible negative outcomes. One who will not just listen to your continue/discontinue concerns but…

Or, as Chuck D paraphrased Malcolm X,”It takes a nation of millions to hold us back!”

Have.You.FORGOTTEN me, Ser?!

TORT REFORM! Is not sexy and most people don’t pay attention when the laws are put forth because the lobbyists paid by manufacturers know exactly how to phrase it! Just say device/drug will save lives but frivolous lawsuits hinder innovation. Cite the McDonald’s coffee spill netting the woman millions and people will…

Oh, J&J Baby Powder was a staple growing up in our family! But my mother is a medical oddity/research findings fanatic and made me and all five of her sisters (and babies) stop using it around 1983-84. Ok, we stopped but kinda chalked it up to: probably unnecessary but better safe than sorry.

Part of white supremacy is propagating these bullshit myths about themselves and each generation embellishes them more! Oooh, I took over sooooo many college classroom discussions and even made one white girl cry breaking down that Immigrant Story bullshit (That chick wrote me an eye-opening, apologizing letter I…

These cases need to be followed. I thought sentencings included all the parameters: what prison? maximum or minimal security? Segregation? I’d love to read some follow-up stories of actual time served, then his next job.

I’d certainly consider blind jury selection a step in the right direction but I’m not sure the lawyers wouldn’t formulate other easy but subtler race-based questions for voir dire: In what city do you live? What high school did you attend?

WWait, you’re saying that Elvis’ Ohio-inbred grandson DIDN’T benefit from Nazi Eugenics?! The physical characteristics of te Cro-Magnon brow over the hog-like, close-set eyes and preternaturally tiny mouth is accompanied by all those brain disorders?! Huh! So, maybe it wasn’t irony that he ended up killing a white…

Yet, in every conversation about race and its implications, someone will cite the “My grandfather came here with 10 cents in his pocket and with hard work, he made it!” myth!

The rarefied air of the wealthy and the respect for their ‘artistry’ shields them from the scrutiny and censure others would face everyday. They’re all “Let them eat cake” types when amongst wealthy peers. But it’s their greed, which knows no bounds, that causes them to step outside of their comfort zones...then the…

Before the Freddie Gray case, I had never heard of a ‘rough ride’. Since then, however, I saw the 2014 movie Trash by Stephen Daldry and Christian Duurvoort. It’s set in Brazil, where police corruption and outright murder of Black and brown favela residents is common. A corrupt cop has a uniformed patrolman give a 14…

Inherent intellectual superiority and overall supremacy helped you surmise that a city’s Black mayor is more powerful than General Motors - The Largest Corporation In The World -and could FORCE the majority white shareholders, managers and advisors to SELECT a “majority white community” for demolition as revenge for…
