You hit the nail so perfectly on the head and I’ve experienced the exact same thing with men who thought they were enlightened. The issue, IMO is the strictness of their linear thinking. You can see this when immediately following some dramatic scene or conflict, you start quiet processing, they ask what’s wrong then…

I’m sorry for the harshness but I read his name and that fake-rational response was just so clearly fakely absolving before-the-fact in a clandestine situation where a pregnant Black woman died in jail. Not here for that. Not today.

“Why is everyone so *much more* angrier for this young man than he or his family seems to be?”

Desert heat, Mike Tyson fans, and weed? This sounds like an invitation to Thunderdome.

Why didn’t you dismiss this troll?! If you don’t know how, just ask someone. But do not ‘debate’ demons who would belittle the loss of a young woman’s life nor that of her unborn child.

Not winning for Malcolm X or Fences had to hurt because he was so good, sooo brilliant that the roles should be Master Classes in acting! If you can BECOME either of those characters and you get your doctorate, dammit! But because both those roles tap into the deep-seated hurt and fuuuurrrrrioous anger that is a direct…

I cannot think of a more excellent example! When a racist millionaire allows you to marry the prized daughter he wants to sleep with because your race is perceived as moneymakers, you gots privilege. When said racist creates a position in his administration for you, you are benefitting from institutionalized racism…

I only aspire to your insight, clarity of thought and ability to build perfect analogies. Absolutely brilliant!

Directed and written as well as outlined here, I would watch the hell out of this horror movie! Set it like 28 Days Later, with some Black people holed up in a house interviewing every refugee that comes through the door with The Questions?! Oh yeah! And that little girl with the machete at the end? Please Lord, give…

My test last week was for a non-profit second job and I was tested. In the past ten years, I’ve had two jobs and was tested during onboarding but not randomly afterward. I’m going to try not to get myself upset and just think it was because I got a company car (?) and NOT because I’m Black, y’all! All this info makes…

Unh huh, so yo’ lil mannish butt put women and song above the exalted principles of Yo’ Mama and Kwanzaa and it bit ‘cha! Your po’, weary Mama worked all year to feed, clothe and educate you and you couldn’t even safeguard her gift by buying and storing it in advance?! I, for one, am glad Lil Sis does not let you run…

Oh the joy a Black man experiences to have a child with blue eyes! Would but complete the pretty picture that the young Scion also be blessed with flowing blond locks! His many virtues by proximity to the alabaster to be praised from the highest mountain and echoed down through the lowly ghettos. Lo but let us all pray…

I’m spitting mad about this racist bullshit and others have covered my points well. And given all the extra details about who said what when and who decided, etc...WHY did this white woman cut this young man’s hair IN FULL VIEW of everyone?! It’s bullshit that no one considered this humiliating - even if ref wasn’t…

I would be interested in some edibles but I interview to change industries about four times a year. I literally just pee-tested for a second job last week. I’m terrified of trying something then getting the call for my dream Corporate America 1st job! How is weed THIS popular and people work in offices?!?!?

“It blows my mind that fake-fainting is even something that would occur to someone.”

I really like Sommore! She’s funny as hell and she REPRESENTS for the Chocolate Sistuhs! You will NEVER see her without her hair, face, nails and ‘fits! Old school like a mug! I’ve always felt she should be more famous than she is! Adele Givens too (but don’t tell her I gave side-eye when she showed up in Kanye’s SNL…

When your father is, to quote another commenter here,”The Hotepiest of Hotep Hot-takers” along with five uncles dippin’ and dappin’ in various religions and five aunts (who were mostly lapsed Christians) and their various unread, uneducated husbands who nonetheless thought they could hang...well, let’s just say I’ve…

She fake fainted after the prettier rich Chinese chick couldn’t fast talk her way out of the lies they’d colluded about AND I presented PAPER trail evidence. When Prof and Dept Head got quiet and turned to look at them like, “Well we WERE automatically taking your side and just humoring this Black chick but now she’s…

You’re not scattered, you’re rightfully furious (as am I!) because there are so many infuriating points! Because your question of WHY a foreign national with financial means to flee is getting bail is valid?! Because you know if the races were reversed, politicians would make this an international incident with the…

Ah, this fleshing out explains your position better. But at one point, I too hosted almost monthly visits from Chinese gov’t delegations and entities wanting joint ventures with my company - as the Black liaison! Oh yeah, I KNOW about Chinese anti-Black racism! And I also learned firsthand about the sneakiness of…
