The 90s weren’t the Middle Ages, man. Everyone who wasn’t a disgusting piece of shit was fully aware that grown-ass men weren’t supposed to rape little girls. That’s not some new shit. 

Guess what, I’m sick of predators being positioned like they are criminal masterminds- they aren’t! What they do well though is read people and the make sure they surround themselves with fuckers who care more about themselves than doing the right thing.

Prince is an r&b artist, and a rock artist, and a blues artist, and a soul artist, and a jazz artist, and a funk artist, and a pop artist. Prince is all those things in my eyes. His art was a synthesis of so many different styles of American popular music. And not in the way that popular music has become this…

Damon, you and your wife may not be medical professionals, but you *can* educate yourselves on the most common risks, and be able to argue with your doctors and nurses if need be. Here’s something really important, PLEASE save this and use it!

1. One of the most common issues women, especially Black women, die from is…

Uh, what? There’s been scores of papers and reviews since the early 90s and they all correct for socioeconomic status, genetics and other factors. I don’t know what data you’re talking about but it’s not the actual data. The linked NYT article goes into depth on many of the most prominent studies and reviews. Black…

Perhaps the findings of this study will interest you: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/263076417_Examining_the_Burdens_of_Gendered_Racism_Implications_for_Pregnancy_Outcomes_Among_College-Educated_African_American_Women

You sure are getting a lot of hate for pointing out that black women tend to be ignored by the medical profession when they have medical issues, especially as it relates to pregnancy. Granted socioeconomic factors are a part of it but I’m surprised at all of the responses dismissing reality. Some of them must be…

I am struggling to find anything in this article that promotes not getting medical care.

This is true Damon, when I went into the hospital for induction. I was treated poorly despite it being my first pregnancy. I was told to shut up and be quiet when the contractions started.

I am amused because all the questions you pose are asked and answered on a multitude of studies. Guess what they show: That minorities receive disparate care even when they account for both commiserate comorbidity AND socio-economic status, that is what multi-variate analysis is for. PubMed is right there at your…

According to the reports I’ve read, she spoke to a doctor the day before she died.

The ghost of Rosa Parks politely asks you to shut the fuck up.

This reminds me of the episode of Catfish where there was a girl who, naturally, thought she was being Catfish’d.

I agree. It is freeing to not view everyone through the lens of potential paramours. I did not reach the conclusion the same way as you, though.

These guys aren’t just complaining that no one was checking for them, though. They are specifically saying that Black girls weren’t interested when they were teens, therefore they must date non-Black women for the rest of their lives as a result, lol. You know those one-dimensional Black girls, the ones that only date…

Black nerds that say no Black girls would talk to them in high school always think every girl wants a thug.

Oh for sure. If you got a thing for women whom aren’t black then just admit and be yourself. Nothing worse than a nigga who fakes the funk for approval. Those school days are meant as a learning experience by trial and error. I saw the errors in my choice and recognize I missed opportunities for not shooting my shot. …

I think it’s the illusion of passivity. I think that’s why black nerds tell themselves they don’t like black women as well.

It ain’t my issue...I don’t check for niggas who don’t want me.
