So, we all just gon’ ack’ like we ain’t notice Jamie’s ridiculousness all these years?! Like we couldn’t SEE his CHANGING manufactured hairline while he was thirstily singing and trying to convince us he was the voice of a generation AND Denzel?!

What a phenomenal venture! This makes my heart sing! Oh, just to have a place to go to meet like-minded Black folk, AND BE SUPPORTED financially and culturally without the added burden of being ‘the only’! Annnndddd you’ve got the historical context of being someplace where another Black woman triumphed before?! I can…

Sooo much to wrap my brain around... don’t know where to begin. But let’s start with The Columbus Dispatch, a freakin’ reputable newspaper, publishing the juvenile’s address and criminal record. Whuh?!?! No, WHATTTTT?!

“...what in the world could have been going through Dutz’s mind for him to think, “Damn, my illegal drug shit just fell through—better call the police?”

No, Dick! The recent African migrants to Italy are primarily from Niger, Mali, Chad and Sudan, not Ethiopia. And the status of all the African nations colonized by Europeans could be called ‘shitholes’ by idiots who don’t know the history of Euro subjugation, theft and despoiling in building their nations OUT of…

Nah, the critical thinker need not accept the entirety to believe in the majority.

Set up a foundation first. You can transfer/donate whatever portion of your winnings to it. Hire a professional latex-expert makeup artist to obscure your features, wear a wig and fake teeth for any publicity photos. Then setup residency in another state and change your name. 

You give the Romans more credit than they’re due; seemingly dismissing the accomplishments of soooo many other civilizations whose ascents and descents were lost to history (or over-written by Romans). So to your "well, actually" I'll just say that the wheel MIGHT just be spinning faster.

I won’t lie, if this was cheaper, I’d buy it. I love my fireplace AND the smell of fried chicken.

Yep, the medical community is always lamenting the dearth of minority participation in research - without acknowledging the reasons for the distrust or providing even token assurances they’ll proceed differently.

Whew, I smell incense and have a sudden urge for bean pie!

Emotionally immature. When they can’t name their emotions, when they can’t process actions and consequences beforehand, they count on silly gestures they’ve seen in movies. Ignorance and crassness that is unsupervised and met wth lazy, unwarranted loyalty and it’s easy to see they’re being manipulated by the…

You’ve gotta know that was a recent law...born directly out of lawsuits like this one! Including laws about ‘off-label’ use meaning the company knows people are using the product for things other than intended, they have to warn you too! It can seem silly sometimes but, necessary!

It’s important to have a variety of older women friends with a variety of experiences. Now that you know, tell young women!

There’s a prevailing philosophy that Black people should always do the cleanup of our thinking first, dismantle old ideas and live in the present instead of clinging to the past. Or that we should stop holding on to things that, logically, seem unimportant or frivolous. Yet, as the thought-processes, power-holders and…

I could ask the Ethiopian Jews except they would reiterate what I already know: their religion arose from the alleged marriage of The Queen of Sheba (Ethiopia) with King Solomon - King of the HEBREWS who had existed in their lands of NOT Africa forever before she came to visit (and get it on)! Variations on the story…

The NAACP sent a urgent blast for members to write their representatives on these child separations back in May or June. I wrote to everyone, even my state-level reps while I was at work! My 3 levels up mgr stopped and asked why I looked so upset. When I told him, no lie, this father of four said flippantly,”Well,…

The withholding of water is a known tactic of the military and police departments too. Until there is a well-publicized lawsuit after someone dies. It has just enough of a whiff of plausible deniability that jailers can get away with it as an oversight when really it’s part of the calculated breaking down of a…

I know money is funny but this seems short-sighted. Hasn’t Trump already tried to strip away national park status from certain lands? What happens when the next fascist administration defunds the National Park Service entirely? Or creates some stupid law taxing foundations or some eminent domain evil shit? Won’t MLK’s…
