Wanted to make this joke, but didn’t want to take the heat for that.

The worst things have a habit of sticking in my head :c

I’m late to the party or whatever you’d call this.... wretched trash. The amount of unchecked whiteness that leaks between the pages is just... inconceivably high. This is why we tell these white people to shut the hell up and listen first, because they’ll conjure all of this mess to justify their biases (and tech…

Nice try, but minorities vote more for the better choice than the less white one (unless you are too ignorant to consider that every major presidential candidate before 2008 was a white man), so not so nice try. Also, considering that Obama saved the country from the aftermath of the Great Recession (which happened…

Whiteness is a helluva drug.

While I don’t understand what those supporters saw in a candidate and even a man like Trump, but at least they are seeing the light.

There are significant aspects of weed that this doesn’t cover though such as location smoked, commonality of carrying, and who is distributing selling which is likely the cops main focus anyways.

Exactly. They love to control the narrative with subtle white lies and hope we sit here and believe it. Fuck that.

Thank you for this. I was looking for these to throw at some people.

I spent most of the day trying to think of something witty or funny, but I’ll just do one from the heart: Hope you’re having a happy birthday fit for one of our favorite writers. The Root is probably my favorite site to come to for (Black) news, so thanks a million for literally making my day. <3

I’m getting all kinds of things from you, haha!

Acceptance is conformity. Conformity is liberty. Submission is freedom. Freedom is slavery.

Oh? I hope that’s still the case now, even though he’s out of a job (part of me figured that he might not have much say about his jersey sales because he’s not employed by a team, and because corporate lawyering—I always assume the worst when it comes to money). I totally defer to you on this one.

Amen. Y’all smack em down like

Unless it’s straight from Kap or from a charitable third party, the NFL would get your money.

Of all the books you’ve recommended and pointed me to (I’m adding Wright’s book to the list, too!), your book is the one I look forward to the most. It sounds amazing and I’ll definitely get one :D

“Instilling fear or negative bias in young, black children...” Nah bruh. It’s called survival. You probably didn’t mean to, but all of your response effectively decenters from the disproportionate mistreatment of Black Americans (who very often, as many high profile shootings have illustrated, are children) by police.…

Plenty of West Indians and Africans who move to the US love to shit on black Americans.

That’s disappointing. Not too surprising, but pretty darn disappointing.

I think that while it’s true that we share similar experiences, we also mustn’t fall for the trap of the white gaze that treats us all the same because of our shared skin colour. Each part of the diaspora is unique, so we have to be careful not to let Hollywood reduce our Blackness to such simple, monolithic terms.…
