god. you managed to make introverts sound even more insufferable than most people already think we are. good job, i guess?

RIP to this man.

with all those life sentences being spent somewhere like parchman, rotating between months of isolation in the “hole,” laboring all the “worst” details on the chain gang, and taking beatings at the hands of prison officials and/or their employees/chosen inmates.

Oh so you really just went through the Prime streaming “BLACK FOLKS!!” list for the first half of this? Very disappointed you included “Plug Love” but left off “A Girl Like Grace.” Those 2 always be showing up back to back on my menu!

Someone pointed out that this guy found a way to uplift whiteness in a moment that was an opportunity to celebrate blackness. Haven’t really been able to think about this differently since that thought hit me.

I have no idea why this is so big. But it’s the first link in a Google Image search for them.

We love YOU. And I hope you read my comment to you on Maiysha’s post last week, b/c I can’t even go there again.

Agreed. Coko is my favorite for obvious reasons, but I must state that for the record, I also adore Taj. (I’ve not heard much of Lee-Lee’s voice, but she’s been there all this time so I know she must be able to sing, too.)

Hmm, judging from the comments, I am one of the few who are familiar with pre-scandal Derrick Jackson. A friend sent me one of his videos years back and I even followed him for a time.

CONGRATULATIONS to the woman I originally knew as The Black Snob!

I would contend the appropriate time to hire such a “czar” would have been prior to going out and colonizing >60% of the world?

re #21: his mama is white, too. so that’s probably one of the main characteristics he was looking for in a mate.

Quite glad that I did not listen to this audio when it hit the net b/c I feel triggered AF by the half of the article that I managed to read. Whew, chillay. Folks have got to stop abusing their children and calling it discipline!

just chiming in to say i agree w/your assessment that this is absolutely racist. even if the teacher turns out to not be white, i will still believe it was some how rooted in anti-blackness.

“greatest”? nah. most successful? absolutely.

this just a wee bit ironic given robin givens was just protesting his team’s inclusion of her in his “approved” biopic not long ago!

the concern on my face as i googled “IANAL” on my work computer just now... wow. learned something new today. i agree his status as a public figure is probably why this is permissible. i also wonder if they purchase rights to use video/images of him directly from whoever holds their copyright whether they can, in…

i’ve figured it out! since we are dying too “slowly” from his mismanagement of the pandemic, and he failed to freeze us all to death a couple weeks ago, he’s taking drastic measures to make damn sure none of us will be around to vote him out come november 2022.

I am so glad I gave up trying to make sense where there is none to be had for Lent. (and life, tbh) Or I would work myself up into a lather dragging this Chad by his (unsurprisingly ashy) thin lips for the foolishness that he allowed to tumble from them.
