“This country sinks more and more into pure depravity every single day...When will it end?”

God save me from small men!

“But at least the oppressor would have known we don’t like the way we’re being treated.”

Exactly! You can bet she wasn’t announcing it when she was auditioning for anything on Broadway! Being internally proud is one thing but watching your kinfolk be denied entrance or having to use separate entrances, restrooms and water fountains while you stay silent doesn’t scream pride, does it?

“When you go opposition like them light folks are the problem”

“I didn’t deny that there was likely privilege associated with my skin- I’m saying that I haven’t seen it. I haven’t had the experiences you list.”

I’m sorry but the example of albinism is not a true parallel because of the possibility of the addition of the health issues. And, as we keep explaining to white people: Privilege does NOT mean you never have any problems!

Well, as soon as light-skinned folks stop denying and lying about their privilege, the conversation can move forward. Like poor whites who deny their pivilege by lamenting who their prents were, how hard they work, and how they’ve never received ANYTHING, it is infuriating!

I love Blackish and look forward to this episode with bated breath! They at least TRY to tackle topics related to Blacks with care and nuance that manages not to be preachy. They TRY not to counter stereotypes with cartoonish opposites so it’ll hold up better than a lot of shows we have held dear (Good Times, etc.). I…

Collectively, the world has been able to agree that a few things are so universally deplorable that they must be outlawed, denounced and punished most severely: child sacrifice, cannibalism. Yet child marriage and rape remain acts that are tolerated. Hmmm, what’s common to both...the abuse of women and girls.

I loved when money was raised for girls to see Hidden Figures and for Black children to see Black Panther. For under privileged kids who otherwise wouldn’t get to see them, I’m sure the experience was fun and uplifting. But, let’s remember that Hollywood Studios are very insular in the stories they tell, who they…

Stomach churning on so many levels. The galling audacity of the ‘victim’ Norma Padgett lying, lying for so long, then traveling to hold the lie so many years later says all you need to know about the capacity for white woman evil. And the victims families STILL addressed her as Miss. I want Norma Padgett to linger for…

My mother said I started bumping in the crib and couldn’t wait to pull up/crawl cuz I was trying to dance! Seeing a group of Black girls dance takes me back to that time when my teenage aunts and their friends taught me every move!

Trolls come here, make a few anodyne comments to get ungreyed, then spew their racism with whataboutisms. Identified.

“...people in the crowds...make some kind of noise...”

“how does that jibe with so much... complaining about having to explain things to white people?”

Furiously scrubbing oneself while batheing in a latrine full of crap monsters crapping will not get you clean. You may, indeed, be shouting out bon mots, grand ideas or witticisms, but who can stand the stench to listen?

Thankfully, you’re on the case! Defending the peace, comfort and sanctity of some white guy’s niece’s social media from threats! Perhaps your skills could have been better utilized appealing to the morals, virtues and ethics of a white man who witnessed a crime and didn’t go to the police with his information.

Meanwhile, YOU, defender of white Male pickup drivers everywhere, are still on the case, demanding justice for all the white men.

Shout it OUT, my Sistuh!
