400 years after the ed of slavery, the deep-seated, inborn, ongoing utter disrespect...that their infantile brains (no matter what advanced age or rank or title) think, despite years of opportunities for integration and interaction, that Blackness is a cheap costume that they can easily and convincingly slip on and

I’m making up for the time I lost resisting a lot of Black works for strange reasons. This was one of the only books I’ve ever read in fits and starts. The fablism (is that a word?) was a little off-putting until I leave need to just go with the flow. Halfway through, I fell in LOVE! The universality of how people

Your back must hurt bending over backwards to defend this negro. Or perhaps you’re suggesting that no matter how much you can pay, you can never find a Black, qualified, credentialed, loving caregiver that is better that this white woman he’s sleeping with. #WhiteWomanSupremacyPerpetuatedByBlackMen

And what do you say to that kind of ‘compliment’?! My own was famous for giving the critique FIRST. She could scan anyone from head to toe, like the Terminator, barely moving her eyes or head and price what each item cost, store origin and declare her body shape/outfit trend/event coordination overall success in

Clark Johnson, actor from all the movies set in Baltimore, is also a really good Director! I love his very naturalistic style - crush time!

And whiteness will say,”We’re turning our home into an animal rescue for xyz pet!” because whiteness must ALWAYS position itself as kind, selfless and loving while being the exact opposite!

No “many of us would rather burn ourselves all the way out than trust anyone with our family.” because we could only afford family or low-end care! At B’s income level, she could have 24-7 top-notch, MEDICALLY-CREDENTIALED, in-home care with all the medical equipment, house-proofing and spa-like amenities available

You said it ALL! Gotdamn polygamist king - with the Queen’s money and the white concubine - every nigger man’s fantasy! Yep, I don’t type that word on the webs but I’m furious at him. And furious at this stupid hot take from someone who doesn’t understand the history of Black women carrying EVERYONE on our backs and

Sheesh - if the white woman is just ‘white womaning’ around B’s house, do you think THAT negro is going to check her?! NAW!

“He’s clearly trying to ape from the Obama playbook while 1.) Not having Obama’s oratory skills, 2.) Not having Obama’s charisma...”

Michael, you are sooooo wrong for finding that pic to accompany this story! It is a par excellence depiction of “the house negro” being so gleefully happy to be in the presence of, and EMBRACING, white people that Sammy Davis, Jr. just snapped awake in his grave! What, in seven hells, is that expression on his face?!

“While they are free to give us zero grace and negative empathy...”

Throughout history Black woman have sacrificed their freedom, their lives, their hopes, their dreams to care for sick husbands and children and parents. Loved ones with debilitating diseases, frustrating disabilities and emotionally draining psychological disorders. These same wives and mothers and daughters and

Next to Timmy’s room, Uncle Touchy?

Whew, speak on it! Speak on it! I too keep running into those “we don’t discuss race issues; we just love each other” types. If you and your partner didn’t/don’t have active, honest discussions about the INFLUENCES on your attraction, the politics of race and color and class and your positions on current race

“I believe that Black women have the right to bodily autonomy, safety, and respect. What I DON’T believe is that you can retain many of those rights for yourself or assert them to someone else when you choose to intoxicate yourself beyond your ability to control your body when out in public.”

This story begs for more details, especially about why the American Border officer fired upon the car rather than the Mexicans. Even if the driver did attempts to run over the officer, opening fire seems imprudent. 

Hollywood is not a meritocracy! ALL roles are just handed to all actors! There’s no such computation as 3 acting plus one stagecraft class plus three extra spots equals a straight-to-video rom-com. No matter how many auditions she went on, she didn’t EARN this role! She was handed it based on the casting agent’s

You mean white Americans teach their kids to be afraid of Certain strangers by moving to segregated suburbs, attending segregated schools, interacting only with other whites (and 1 or 2 acceptable minorities, but never any groups of color!) while being pleasant but cautious around all other people who are ‘different’.

You beat me to it! Cosby: “You’re in jail because over 50 women came forward and accused you of drugging and raping them over your career.”
