My father remembers his high school being desegregated in ‘68. His senior year, there were 4 Black people in his class. That’s only 50 years ago, a blip in the course of history. That is one generation above me. People my age who say “it was so long ago” are so ignorant and out of touch it’s hard to speak with…

Her and her family’s courage is breathtaking.
My dad and I were sitting and talking about him when he was in either 6th or 7th grade desegregating the school he went to here in Texas. People kill me when they act like the shit was a million years ago. He is only 65. Same thing for my mom. I was out somewhere and some guy had the nerve to say “ segregation was so…
To Ms. Linda Brown, thank you for putting us on the path. Thank you for taking the ugliness that I know you endured where I and others wouldn’t have to take them in years after.
When asked for comment, Education Secretary Betsy DeVos offered thoughts and prayers to Brown University in light of these events.
Yyeah, The Wing can also try doing what black people had to learn to do: say it’s open for all to avoid the idiotic “reverse discrimination” claims (or reverse sexism in this instance) and market your ass off to your target audience. Just use tons of pink, only feature women in your promos, and dudes will get the…
I am 62 years old and yes there have been days when I thought I would drop dead from exhaustion. How do I keep up my energy? I just remember that my ancestors worked 12,14,16 hour days in chains and survived slavery. If they can do that, I can do this. Just keep the faith and hold on. We will get there int he end,…
Linda Brown was a third-grader who was barred from attending an all-white school in her neighborhood. Her father,…
Good looking out spotting WHAT WAS *MISSING*.
Yes, The March for Our Lives Was About Black People Too
You know what’s (almost) hilarious? I was reading late night news and he’d already backed up so fast he ran over that cat who’s always making noise in the yard after dark. I’m sure he sensed that Michael Harriot was coming for him and he’d have to take the “Killer” out of his moniker since Da Real…
THIS is the type of leader we deserve right now.
I keep hearing she was ‘overwhelmed by nerves,’ etc. I think it’s more likely that she’s dealing with PTSD- puking is a common symptom especially when reliving the event. It undermines the seriousness of the situation to say she’s just got charming ‘nerves’ or ‘stage fright.’
I bawled listening to this yesterday. I can’t imagine being in front of thousands of people, talking about the horrific event. Such raw emotions. It was incredible.
You know what was crazy - I was like “Dude needs a 101-level class in semiotics because sitting up there with his gold chains and his Black Power shirt with the fist on it, I don’t know who he thinks Da Real NRA Racists are going to draw a bead on first with their AKs.
As people recoil over this causing his revenue streams dry up, he will become a regular contributor.
I’m shocked, SHOCKED that Bernie’s house negro allowed himself to be used by apolitical organization that values White possessions over Black lives.
People shouldn’t be surprised by this. He always let his 2A support be known. But for the people who love Run the Jewels (most white, wannabe DJs I know) or Bernie Sanders (Shaun King), I guess this comes as a shock? Killer Mike didn’t play himself—this is who he is.
but, I’m sorry to say, you still have to deal with some shady ass bitches.
