Will you admit that your family’s experiences of Corporate America might not be typical of Black people as a whole? You know, the whole birds of a feather thing. Because when your circle includes high, middle and low income people, I’ve found the conversations don’t tend to focus on the intricacies of how to play the…

There will always be sheep searching for any shepherd. People who are just so desperate for leadership that they’re willing to accommodate admitted wolves in sheep’s clothing. Now, calculate the paucity of Black men walking stately while wearing a suit well while speaking in full sentences devoid of slang and these…

I’ll take it even further: does ANYONE criticize the parents of 300+ victims of Larry Nasser? Who lets their pre-teen or teen daughter be examined by a doctor alone, multiple times? What mother doesn’t talk to her pubescent daughter about handsy men, thereby freeing her daughter to speak about men that make her…

They don’t know any Black women. Their dad makes sure of it!

No one listens to the troubles of the college-educated Black professional classes. From lack of entry-level opportunity to the ghetto-ization of certain positions to the lack of mobility, it’s still an old-boys club. Except the old boys are now young whites (male and female). Instead of the former excuse of a lack of…

I admit, my years are running together! Maybe I’m recalling a Supreme Court challenge to it in the 70's. Or maybe I’m recalling it from old Starsky & Hutch episodes, eh Yogi? ;)

They all think they can be like Trump and get online saying anything to anybody while their objects take the high road of respect and courtesy to the elders. It’s good that the New Crew ain’t going out like no punks!

Let me give proper credit: Feidin Santana is a Dominican who caught the video of Ofcr. Slager shooting Walter Scott. Slager got 20 years for Civil Rights violations with the underlying cause of 2nd degree murder.

Next, you’re going to start hearing about cell phones not working during protests or where incidents happen. Because the tech exists to jam cell signals to towers and satellites. It’s just a matter of how portable it is and what municipalities can afford it. That’s why when shit goes down, somebody has to have the…

He’s been on tv for years so he can’t be awkward or unskilled with women privately?! He’s a nerd with excellent social skills in one area so he must be skilled in all other areas too?!

Literally, not 30 minutes ago I saw the trailer for an independent movie called Olvidados about the CIA and Henry Kissinger’s role in planning Operation Condor! From the tagline, it said American torture didn’t start in Abu Graib or Guantanamo (but on slave ships) and from what I can tell, it’s about Bolivian…

I was one of the first in my sub to get surveillance cameras outside my house. I can tell you that local police, in their most authoritative voices and demeanors, will say,”We need to review some footage. We’ll take this equipment and give you a receipt” like it’s the law. That’s for small neighborhood incidents. Only…

I never understood the one song he had (and even my God daughter couldn’t explain it. So his fall from popularity was expected. But to highlight his stupidity and provide apropos video evidence feels just...

And no one blames the successful man for his supreme failure as a father. Consider what he could have accomplished if he had been at home and involved with his kids more: how many boys would have paid more attention in school? Learned world-expanding hobbies that extended their lives instead of using drugs? Seen how…

^This! Smart kids better not stumble in one area, or just not get it because the teachers of advance placement classes get TICKED at having to pull out the tools to facilitate comprehension. Screw them all.

I had a small elective surgery after researching the hell out of the doctor and her credentials. The nurse anesthesist was very punctilious and the all female staff very competent and caring. Had the surgery, then a small complication, then a corrective surgery. I asked the nurse why the scar looked so different on…

Because the words of adult authority figures resonate with impressionable minds! Teens like me, who were raised around great, encouraging family members and adult friends of the family who only want the best for you, don’t have a problem obeying authority. So, they think,”If this educated and experienced adult says…

The #MeToo movement has made a lot of women revisit the things they’ve had to endure just living. Everyday, in every situation; (don’t even think some areas are sacred bcause they’re not). Consider Ariana Grande trying to sing in a church at a funeral in front of a whole bunch of Black people and Bishop Ellis copping…

I had not seen the Harvard rowing pics but I have now. I’d listen to what he had to say then and now! Just remember that people’s self-image doesn’t always track exactly with how the world actually sees them.

I very clearly did not type that they WERE smooth, I used the term Smooth Operator as the very well-known archetype of men and their actions trying to get women. I think you know that.
