“organized labor that allowed [FOUGHT FOR] for weekends, holidays, assisted with Health and Human Resources and OSHA formation...”

“I know Barack Obama is all about those politics of respectability, but...”

Wow. At the risk of being labeled a scold, what ISN’T a part of some subculture? While the pendulum does swing to the far side of tolerance for a time, acceptance/tolerance by the masses rests toward the middle. There are actions and modes of dressing that are specific to a thing but take on other connotations not…

Your lengthy response proves my point. Where do you mention buying your son the special face masks the Chinese use for their daily commutes? Where do you talk about the desktop, car and personal humidifier and fans he has at all locations and the Neti pots he uses multiple times daily? Tell us about the cost of the…

My first boyfriend wore Drakkar Noir and to this day, despite the myriad of other more expensive men’s cologne I’ve smelled and bought for others, I LOVE that smell! Whether someone bathed in it or dabbed it on with a pinky.

******All the stars are shining!!!****

My autonomy and yours (!) confers with it a responsibility to get along with others too! It means tolerance of things we might find uncomfortable in order to get along in the larger society. Autonomy also makes everyone responsible for their own health and well-being. YOU got a problem, YOU pre-plan your life, YOU sacr…

Is one teacher’s comfort more important than the liberty of 30+ children?

History, and the dark evil of slavery, needs to be taught - Don’t get me wrong! Just as I don’t want Black children subjected to humiliation, I also don’t wanna them hearing about happy, singing slaves dancing around their shacks either! But CONTEXT, framing and care needs to be shown, dammit! How is it that museums…

Expertly outlined! Which of those groups would have signed permission slips for anything rsembling that crap?! And which of those groups, WOULDN’T have parent chaperones on the trip who WOULDN’T pitch a raging fit when they saw this skit being lined up?! Only scared of rocking the boat, slave-ass descendents of slaves…

What word surpasses livid?! Furious, murderous?! I need one all-encompassing word that conveys outrage, fury, and fierce, passionate heartbreak. One word that can showcase how I feel reading how people abuse Black children and delight at getting away with most egregiously humiliating them. I can’t think of one word or…

“So my deodorant, body wash, and shampoo smells don’t bother you but the squirt of Chanel does?”

Huh...what are the chances that the immoral SuperPredator of young women has been and will get preyed upon by unscrupulous lawyers, financial managers, accountants and Friends and People WHO SHOULD HAVE A CODE OF ETHICS? They’re probably ransacking his homes right now.

No, this writer condensed the story and left out the players: unnamed white female teacher (white women are trying to make smell allergies a workplace violence issue, y’all!), Asst Principal Mueller-Owens, family friend of the child is Rev. Price.

I like to think of God as race-less...but ALL the ArchAngels are Black Women... they’re the inspiration for the Dora Milaje! Loving you hard but fighting invisible forces aiming for you! And sometimes, just sometimes, they roll up juuuuusst when your legs are failing and give you a ride to get you where you need to to…

Seinfeld has a bit about noticing how Nazis give the half-Heil in the movies: returning their full salute, the ranking officer would just throw up the right hand to shoulder-level, palm front, real easy and casual-like.

And once again, the Black victim ‘just moves on’...doing the least which allows them to be keep doing the most! What prevented the manager from filing a disturbing the peace report? Nothing but that baked in slave mentality that “just doesn’t want any trouble”. The police were on-scene - why wait to post to Facebook?!…

“Damn, not even a plate for the road though?” Nope, have Becky make you a quinoa salad! I'm glad you have a sense of humor!

These deaths are the exact reason I say an independent, federal Law Enforcement agency is needed to investigate LEOs for every lethal encounter. 

I despise Clarence Thomas and his wife soooo much! And every Black person in America should spit on him not just for what he did to Anita Hill (the epitome of every Black parent’s nice, smart young lady dream for their daughters!) but for the DARING AUDACITY of evoking the image of lynching in a freaking job interview…
