Black men do not care that is the truth to many black women refuse to face. BM cannot compete with men of other races on anything substantial outside of sports and bastard children, so they compete with BW. You will never protect , advocate or be loyal to a group you view as competition. BM will put the daughters of…

“...And then when I think about all the black artists that continued to prop him up, yes Pharrell, Timbaland, Jay-Z, as if they didn’t all have Janet’s poster on their walls before they made it.”

Don’t get it twisted. Both parties were firmly anti-black. Republican reason for abolition was religious and economic. They abandoned freed slaves fast. Democrats were half pro segregation dixie-crats until the 1960s.

I was just told that all the traffic I heard yesterday throughout my subdivision was the ‘Homecoming’ postponed from August. People from all over the country come back for a reunion with family still in the area, in some open park spaces and a community center. I’m told there were 600-700 people at a fish fry &…

I wish I could have gone to an HBCU. The issue with many HBCUs, and especially the very good ones, is money. While wealthy Black kids have no problem attending HBCUs, poor Black kids like myself just don’t/didn’t have the option.

I too have had a healthy wariness of my bougie side. It has made life more difficult than maybe it had to be. 

Part of the reason I had so mich trouble (or sometimes so little?!) was that I’m unusual enough, a mixture of high ideals (Black Muslim Daddy)/real world pragmatism (Bougie but poor Mother), that I don’t consider what I did Code Switching. I was me everywhere I went: calling out microagressions to whites A LOT, then…

In predominately white spaces I tend to be exposed to the ‘exceptional’ black treatment. I may just buy this book. And I’m sorry you had to have that lonely feeling. Code switching is a survival skill that got me through.

I didn’t go to PW-schools but the vast majority of my career has parallels. Yeah, sometimes there were 1 or 2 elitist tokens who studiously avoided being seen with any other Blacks, a few Valley Girl-speaking biracial chicks whose disdain for anything Black was palpable or the one mid- to high-level, influential, yet…

Charmin the Sod is merely turning into Wendy Williams since she’s lost her clout crown. He’ll say ANYTHING, DO anything, to get ratings. Scraping the barrel for listeners.

I appreciate your comment’s thoughtfulness. The problem is people (mostly men, who’ve been in charge) are arguing against what is becoming a collective change in thinking. Our moral codes, laws and punishments have always been based on victim and societal impact. Except for rape. The line of unforgivability should…

Thank you. I have expressed this same sentiment on several occasions, only to be resigned as part of the problem.

No, it blew up because a bunch of people got in their feelings about hero worship instead of the realness of who he actually was. Everybody acting like she said this at his funeral. She didn’t. She said while performing an interview as part of her job to speak truth to power even if it’s not comfortable. No matter…

Snoop only apologized because he realized he can’t sell Tostitos and show up on The Ellen show and still act like an asshole.
The only thing that changed his mind was the potential hit to his wallet.

I think you nailed it on the head. The impression that I got was that he is still saying she was wrong in asking the question, and he was wrong in attacking her.

“Two wrongs don’t make a right”

The bank.

Clearly he still doesn’t get it. Nothing Gayle did was wrong. The rape case is part of his legacy whether people want it to be or not.

Where was his momma when he was writing about bitches, hos and tricks?

Martha Momma told Snoop to apologize, eh? That’s cool. Forgive but never forget, you fucked up, Calvin, you will need to work to re-claim that status you had in the community (for fucking what, I don’t know, y’all who worship troglodytes like him have your janky ass reasons, I guess).
