I mean isn’t that just white people in general? They can always compartmentalize or go through the mental gymnastics of not “seeing” the BIPOC folks around them.

Seriously - we saw what happened to Deadspin but I have no idea what’s happening behind the scenes for The Root.

I mean, I hate him bc he went to Duke. I don’t root for evil. Shiiiiit.

seriously, the most relatable thing he’s ever written.

I’m arab. My cousin is named Jihad. It’s not a woman’s name. Your explanation wasn’t necesary. Thanks for trying though.

I want it to be a full auditorium, and no one makes a sound. not a peep. Just sitting there, staring at this clown, and not a reaction. oh that would be glorious. he wouldn’t know what to do with himself.

It was part of his persona, bc he lost the accent when he got angry. That was such a good show. Def in the Top 5 for quality Spin-off series.

Get bent.

But most people don’t have the resources or the time and it’s unreasonable for people to just assume or not even consider those circumstances. I will never ever be the person that can wake up, not do anything to my hair and walk into work looking presentable. There is no phrase so enraging as “Why can’t you just…

Exactly. I do not have the time to straighten my hair every day (it takes hours), Nor do I have the money to get it chemically straightened. And why the hell would I want to do that anyway? This is the hair I was born with and if it doesn’t “conform” to western standards then those people my hair offends can go suck…
