My Brother’s Keeper deserves to be derided even if not for the reasons Cooper gave.

Well here is a good primer:

Well, there are some good ideas out there - the problem is you got to convince black folk there’s a problem and then what a solution is, but most of us still view our lives through a white lens that it’s hard to move forward when the idea of success is rooted in “whiteness.”

The Partnership is with The Root which isn’t a “Woman of Color” mag. You CAN have convo about Women of Color but that is something that wouldn’t be a partnership with The Root.

This.

There aren’t major issues with decriminalization - Portugal managed it just fine. The *issues* tend to be more administrative and getting all government entities on board.

Take your star Damnit. You earned it.

One of the smartest comments I’ve seen on this topic yet. Take your star. You’ve earned it.

Now you know...

I mean...the movie isn’t very good - and the trailers were awful. The box office is bad as well. 33 mill on a 100+ P&A is not good. When it looked like it might hit 40 mill opening that wouldn’t have been bad — not great — but not bad. I was hoping Ava wouldn’t take the L on this one - but it’s been obvious for awhile…

He needs better friends.

Which...once again...charity is not the same as rehabilitating a group of men No One Cares About. The one other major organization that has success was started by Jim Brown. I know you people don’t care about black people like that - so it’s easy to have these conversations that compare some charity work to…

I’m so confused. :-/

FOUL!!!

Once again - donating some cash is not equal to rehabilitating a group of men this country has forgotten and destroyed. Seriously - the NOI has filled a void for a group that has been habitually put upon - and no - I’m no fan of the NOI or Farrakhan- but anytime someone makes an attempt to compare them to the KKK they…

None of that is happening here. Black folk aren’t in a position to oppress Jews and there has been more than a few instances where Jews haven’t exactly been the most open when it comes to race. So yeah...no. This isn’t about “blackness” but White Nonsense depending its pound of flesh from Black folk again for…
