Every part of the globe knows about the denigration of Black people. Instead of getting defensive or quietly bystanding in these incidents, let’s all pledge to let our hearts be known by speaking up to say,”You know those kinds of things have been said to negatively refer to Black people so just stop arguing and

Funny how you selected only certain morsels to respond to while making up others out of whole cloth...triggered indeed. But you keep on holding open doors, seems to be in your blood. I, for one, have always known your types never, weren’t and will not fight for me and mine. You consider yourselves wholly different,

Alexis has citizenship by virtue of her dark-skinned, Never Denying, Never Downplaying Black, GOAT MOTHER - with her down-for-the-cause father’s full-throated appreciation and approval!

“In the future, more and more of us will be mixed anyhow, so....

Girl, no you DIDN’T post a video from Detroit’s The Scene?!?! Sorry, The New Dance Show (with Teacher right there at the beginning!). Thank you for that little bit if nostalgia. The Scene, it’s original name from the ‘70's was a Detroit daily version of Soul Train replete with it’s own local celebrities like The

Whenever I hear pessimism on what good apologies and amends make, it’s just an stubbornness against having to do it and the absence of knowing what to do.

Naw, idiots who don’t read poetry, visit museums, study music, learn instruments, research other art forms or collaborate with disparate artists inhibit their own artistic growth! Even if a record company dropped that STING of hiphop, live concerts, club bookings, streaming sales, IG followers and whatever channels

I’ve taken a special interest in watching any independent/foreign WWII movies from any European country. I am intrigued at who collaborated vs who went along and why, how the survivors thought/felt, the small ways humans rebelled, etc. Some will get you, many actually give you hope, there are love stories and small

All the facial features are way too small for the face or head. Nazi doctors would have rejected him as a prime specimen of Aryan superiority right away.

“I do not understand why we need to worry about Hart’s redemption, or Louis CK, or Al Franken, or Matt Laurer or any other recent asshat.”

First of all, nigga, please.

It was never perfectly acceptable to use gay to mean bad - because you knew the definition and the connotation! There were just no consequences for you & crew! Y’all agreed, on some level, or you’d have used any other word or made up one!

I’m not the same as when I was in elementary and knew calling someone a ‘sissy’ was bad; cuz I was never mean and never hung with people who were. I also love words, reading and speaking and use their meaning and nuance to convey how I think and feel.

Expand that a little more...

Even this post excuses and rationalizes continued ignorance; and should be loudly denounced!

Like you, I believe in warnings. Unlike all the peace-loving, answering and explaining Black people involved in the Racism Olympic Games of living, walking, eating and patronizing when the various alliteratively-named whites accost them, I, like Norris, I believe in being mean.

No, nope and naw! You know who DOESN’T get pitchforked and publicly-shamed? People who THINK before they speak, type, comment, act, and write raps!

I make the call that Black Men accompany the rest of the world into the 21st Century! You’re carrying smart phones, playing virtual reality video games and own $400 pairs of gym shoes yet you INSIST on being misogyNOIRist, homophobic, transphobic, and sexist while puffing out your chests that you’re keeping it real!

Ironic that he credits his rise to Social Media presence and that’s the thing that cost him the biggest, high-profile gig he’s ever gotten?!

I revised an old saying,”The only way people learn (and change) is if they go to jail (time to think), they get their asses beat (or injured/sick) or their words or actions cost them money! I have NEVER, EVER seen anyone change otherwise.
