When other countries characterize America by it’s gun violence, it’s rightfully attributed to the founding of the country, imperial hubris, cowboy mentality, gun rights, criminality, etc. but I can’t list the ways in which this foreign national’s home country might have influenced his actions? Ok.

Are there ANY factors that you might admit contributed to his choice to act? Being a guest in the country? Recognizing his roommates’ humanity AND native citizen status as superior to his own? Believing that the death of a Black man might NOT be investigated thoroughly thereby improving the chance for getting away…

Oh, you’re not alone in bad memories Christmas time...ask any child of those ‘70's parents who were Muslim (or claimed to be so they wouldn’t have buy presents). Ask those kids how it felt to go to Grandma’s house (back when all Grandmas were good Christian women in house dresses) and be pitied by all the aunts,…

I give this insidious plot and it’s instigator no benefits of doubt. He’s a chemist (so he researched), he’s devious enough to plot against someone he could have just moved away from and he’s a foreign national from a region known to value quiet, plotting deception AND poisoning as a means of murder. Not to mention…

Excellent point about Merchant and I wouldn’t be surprised if that’s not exactly how it went down with the co-write credit. I’ll tell you, I hate, despise juvenile, scatalogical humor, ok? But the best, most genius cringe bit I’ve ever seen: Extras S2E11 “Sir Ian McKellan” when Darren (Merchant) finally got the dumb…

Aww come on, Hump! I wrote that like three hours ago, just cuz it popped up in your Kinja notifications, you wanna be mad NOW?! I was eating then now my dinner’s digested so you shouldn’t even be thinking about it, let alone REPLYING! It’s like you’re checking your notifications just LOOKING for something to be miffed…

“It’s like he couldn’t have written it any better himself.”

“But like I said before, he’s already said he regrets the black ppl vs. nigger joke. Good Hair came about BECAUSE his daughters are dark brown...”

Next time, just say,“Comedians should be free to say whatever they want no matter how offensive because they’re supposed to push boundaries and should never face criticism nor consequences for doing so EVER - and everyone should pay them” and save yourself a lot of typing.

Why would Seinfeld have to make up for anything Michael Richards said years after Seinfeld was over?! Listen, I got nothing for that muhfukka after years of loving Kramer! But, Seinfeld has always seemed like a decent but loyal guy. Everyone said he was the first tell Richards he fucked up. Then he looked distraught…

Contrarian is the fitting word for Gervais. But I love his skill at cringe-comedy first in the British ‘The Office’, then in Extras and Hello Ladies with Stephen Merchant. He’s excellent at surgical-strike annihilation of hypocrisy and inflated self-worth. But even then, he frequently edges up to the line of cruelty…

I loved Seinfeld before anyone else did; when it was a mid-season replacement specifically because I am Elaine! His show was insular, true, but that’s how whites live! Besides, there were several Black characters including the Black girlfriend Kramer had, the African George wanted to rub baby oil on, the family…

So let’s look at his collective body of work: NEVER funny on SNL! Famously NEVER: not socially critical, not silly funny, not even a good token, ever! Standup: repeats himself REPEATEDLY with long pauses cuz his material revealing superficial Black thoughts to whites is meager (he stretches 15 min to an hour). His…

But you see, the skinniest, fattest, monstrously ugly, uncombed or dreadlocked man still benefits and trades on the myth of the Black Penis. So Wiz Khalifa, Lil Wayne, Tyga and Rick Ross are still clocking ‘em with a long line waiting in the wings. On the strength of those nightmares, their everyday twins are out here…

Seriously, I’m medium brown and had Black beauty pounded into me with concerted effort by my mother AND most importantly, father (!) from the beginning. 70's Parents knew to fortify their kids (especially girls) for the onslaught of negativity they will UNDOUBTEDLY encounter well beforehand! Don’t assume they’ll…

What behavior changes without a concerted effort? We’ve been on this colorism debate since slavery. No one will admit it but we’re all fighting for the pass from white society and the male gaze (as this IG ‘model’ debate demonstrates). All we’ll ever get from white folks is a day pass which will continue to be what…

No, there doesn’t have to be anything more. Rural whites railed against any restrictions of getting permits to carry concealed weapons lobbying and getting them removed, expiration dates extended and the licensing fees reduced, recently getting the rule repealed that you don’t even have to inform a police officer that…

Oops! You can tell it ain’t my usual genre but I likes what I likes!

I try really hard to be most-aspects sex positive but I have to think that abusive types are drawn to BDSM just for this type of plausible deniability.

Perhaps the greatest Black Tax. But let’s reviews the Black Person’s Financial Portfolio:
