I’m excited for the launch of these new Black networks. Hopefully we can see some well-written material with subtlety, nuance and sophistication rather than the minstrelsy to which we’ve become accustomed! I don’t need to see any Big Mama cooking soulfood bull, no evil career women can’t keep a man vs nurturing blue…

It’s narcissistic to try to make Jesus look like anything other than what’s stated: a man born of a Jewish mother. Since nowhere in the Bible does anyone remark on some strange physical differences, he looked like the Jews of that time and place. To try to make him an African based on the lamb’s wool hair thing (like…

I’m glad Michelle Obama and her brother are sharing the real with Black students. When you’re successful in high school and struggle even a little in college, Imposter Syndrome strikes us hard! And hearing silly platitudes of “You can do it!” coming from people who don’t know, can make you feel worse. I’ve been…

Bravo, PlatanoMan! Job well done! Don’t know if his plan was to wait giving her time to chill or was just laying in the cut til her stop but the pic of him holding her could only be sweeter if it was video with him smashing her face in the glass during the takedown! This BasuraBecky represented her region of Caucasus…

I used to think the women in my family had trickled down their OCD tendencies about food, kitchen and personal cleanliness to me...until I started listening to white people and their habits. Everything you said: cats walking on counters, dogs tasting things, other weird pets allowed to roam free. Even on tv, husbands…

Forget anything remotely resembling welfare for the citizenry, just focus on the business Repubs love...Imagine what $5B could do for unemployment in Flint (?) or any rust belt or Sunbelt area? Water & Sewer lines, Bridges and overpasses that carry everything across the country, communication infrastructure, high…

Oh, they were courteous to me, I was just there for a parent visit but...I watched them berate a very poor (looking) young woman. She didn’t know the procedure (who would?!) to apply for money/help to bury her father & had gone outside to smoke when they called her. When she came back, the worker & front desk chicks…

EVERYthing you said shows the mindset of thoughtful, empathetic people who manage people in difficult situations. It’s what I naively expected to find in a small, private FC agency since I didn’t find it in the large religious FC agency. Be good-hearted, pre-determine problems & work out plans, be empathetic. Thank…

Whoa, whoa. Please don’t fuck ALL of us who have had terrible experiences with horrible folks sitting in social service roles! They ARE mad they make no money, sat thru college for this bull and found it ain’t what they thought! Too many clients and too many changing rules, etc. Everybody faces that on their jobs. But…

I know foster care. The vast majority of frontline social workers are underpaid, overworked and at the mercy of their managers (except for their unions). But as with any bureaucracy, several SEVERAL other layers are being paid very, VERY well! Director-and above types informally change the mission to the exploitation…

I’m all for edgy art, provocative stuff that makes us uncomfortable with the status quo, etc. It’s my contrarian bag. But it bothers me that the artists and authorizers for the art are always 1) ok to do the shit to & about Blacks 2) with the stated audience being whites. They are always oblivious in calculating Uninte…

The First World. Land of the Free, Home of the Brave. Greatest Country in the World. United Nations leader, NATO member. How can pregnant, teen girls from foster care and incarcerated be words placed together in a sentence in 2018 in such a place?! How do we not have plans in place before solutions are needed?

Congratulations on your new baby (and say congrats to yo’ fine ass Daddy too!). Conscientious parents are the best . As an author, you’d probably really enjoy the March 5-18, 2018 issue of New York magazine covering the many successes and pitfalls of How To Raise a Boy. I’ve kept it in my family room because it was so…

Chappelle and Rock reacting resignedly to news that white people gonna wypipo even when it screws other wypipo?! It was funny hearing the white people in the audience realizing that they’re the only ones who’ve been asleep laugh nervously. But smart? What SNL or standup bit since ten made you think of things in a…

Thanx for not letting the HRA and their rent-a-cop off blameless. The mindset of government workers (who are hard to fire) toward their clients is that they aren’t worth simple human courtesy. That’s why there weren’t enough chairs (bet there’s empty ones in the conference room), why they make people wait hours for…

Oh, this is so good, I love it. I’ve been told by my Mayor, City Council and police that police cannot be the complaining witness (write tickets) for loud car music, period. Neighbors have to do it and show up to court. Except, the cars are long gone by the time police arrive or the occupants simply turn the music…

Thwt the victim was white is the reason the Gov equivocated; he can’t send the message to his druggy, pervy redneck constituents that he isn’t insuring their safety from teen sex workslers of the dark variety!

“Just like villains in every regular movie somehow manage to survive until the very end, while THE LONE BLACK CHARACTER gets killed pretty quickly EVEN.IN.2018!”

Bullying takes such a toll on little ones’ mental health and when they don't feel heard, the effect is exascerbated. God rest her soul and grant her family peace.

Ugh, again with this King shit?!
