Why is it always on us, the oppressed, to embrace the oppressor and overlook their oppression?? Why must we always have to forgive and cater to their sensibilities, when they never cater to us and deny our very humanity. I’m tired of this type of status quo black establishment politics. They would lead us to our…

This is a beautiful response, thank you!

The kindness of others is the upside to this. The community really came together to support him. But, we really need to have a conversation about the culture of shaming others just to get likes and shares instead of having empathy.

Says a lot about this woman that she felt an immediate need to shame him rather than understand him. People worked themselves to exhaustion just to keep their heads above water. That deserves compassion and empathy. I'm glad that he's receiving that from others, although I'd be even happier if our social safety net…

Lol, this is quality snark.

Somebody out here doing The Lord’s work. Amen. Spittle 2020!!

People who are against reparations are against a level playing field. They wanna keep us as disadvantaged as possible. So exactly like a slave master.

My sentiments exactly! And how infuriating is it that we have to pray for justice, when justice should be a guarantee in this situation?

To the trolls, save your typing. I flag and dismiss with extreme prejudice and I do not engage. I'm not here to debate the humanity of people of color 

Exactly! They don’t care about the supposed crime Smollett committed, they’re just upset that the criminal justice system that they created to punish black and brown folk allowed him to walk away. They can’t fathom that and can’t stand it. If they truly cared they would have the same energy for all of the cops who…

Thanks girl, I'm trying to be vigilant!

You said an absolute word. In so many people eyes a childhood is for white children only. Us folks of color aren’t deserving of the protection, care and innocence that they deny us and actively steal from us. In their perspective our children are no better than the adults and in their minds the adults are no better…

Definitely going to watch! I've been such an admirer of Stevenson for a long time. He always speaks with such intellect, soberness and empathy. Glad he's getting recognition for his work.

But, why Tyga tho?? He’s a sexual predator and should be excommunicated. We really need to have a conversation about how in hip hop we really allowed just the worse trash to shine and remain after #MeToo. Charlemagne, Kodak Black, SixNine, X, Rick Ross etc. And as a hip hop head, it’s infuriating.

This constant fight for your humanity and agency to be recognized and protected is exhausting. It drains you.

I've never been either and I want to so bad! Being born and raised in the South humidity doesn't bother me and plus I just want to be surrounded by some of my favorite people in the world, black women lol. I know that sounds narcissistic, being that I'm a black woman, but black women are just so much fun and now that…

Giannis out here making me feel emotions. I didn't know that I had emotions left!!

With the yellow and pink combo, you look like a freaking spring garden!! GORGEOUS. And I adore the mission of Bossy, definitely checking out their site.

They maybe terrible people who violate human rights at every turn, but man I love their catty witticisms! Trump is so terrible I found myself subconsciously rooting for him to be owned by the worse people. This is America
