It wasn’t me that lifted up the rock.

Maybe your continued trope of “black men need to clean up in order to be respected” is the problem, have you ever thought of that

Yes, I’m sure you’d listen to him if he was wearing a suit not a young black man, right?

ftfy. let’s call it what it is.

I would venture to guess that the population who can’t find enough empathy to listen when he’s not wearing a suit probably overlaps almost completely with the population who finds a justification for every police shooting, who needs to determine exactly what kind of momentary failure to comply means they deserved to…

Okay, I’ll address. I think generally Black women have a much harder time losing sight of who they are because it is by design through how the world treats us. I think the world forces us to constantly evaluate ourselves and who we are in the world. Our womanhood and Blackness are interwoven, we can’t just disappear…

I think black bodies whether we like it or not are inherently political, so when black people choose each other it’s a political act in and of itself. And I’m not going to pretend that I don’t feel something extra special when black people choose each other. Like my cousin getting married this weekend! But at the same…

Right on. Plus he didn’t tell us he didn’t care about black people when he stated that about Bush. Every time I see his face or hear his voice. I think of these two things and say, “nah, I’m good.” I still don’t fuck with him and won’t. That Trashian shit took the cake. That nigga past the sunken place, he in the…

Why do white people never intercede and try to break this kind of stuff up. They stand along side and provide support for abusive POS racists or simply stand back and watch.

Wait till the pills are stolen off the lawn.

“ I’m angry today”

The centerpiece of the exhibit is a wall of 22,000 engraved white pills – each representing the face of someone lost to a prescription opioid overdose in 2015

Increasing the racial divide? Abso-fucking-lutely. Day by day, I find myself more and more harboring some serious contentment towards whites. Shit like this just enhances those feelings.

And he’s been reduced to ash ever since. Good riddance....

the women didn’t sing the song with malice

You’re the real racist for not letting me croak the n word after my lacrosse games.

Black people: “You guys literally own everything. Can we please just have the n-word to ourselves.”

“There are just some black people who only want to marry outside of their race for status or to have mixed babies..” That’s a truth many of us don’t want to deal with.. the level of self-hatred on the black side of these black/white relationships are being underestimated, in my opinion. The 500 years of white…

In todays social setting and climate, if you’re a high-profile black male married to a black woman, that in itself signals a certain black consciousness (double consciousness?) and an instinct for historical continuity. My gut says the black woman will automatically trigger a certain level of militancy with a…

It just seem like common sense that people who feel strongly about black culture and the challenges facing black people are going to be more likely to end up with partners who have that shared experience. Not 100% of the time obviously but certainly way more often than not.

Black women are at the forefront of all major activism in our community, so it’s not surprising. I do know Savannah James is involved in mentorship and programs to help girls/women in her community. As much as I rail against White people and non-White Others for how they treat us, I still support people marrying…
