Haha, I was at a tech conference recently and met some recruiters from Turo. I had never heard of it, so I asked them what it was, and while the recruiter very enthusiastically explained it to me I tried not to let my facial expression go to “horrified wtf”.

I just wanna know why errbody thinks what I put in my grits is they business.

In my family, you would call her Aunt Pam. I actually have some third cousins in that same circumstance that I call “Aunt ____”.

Yeah, this. I got a lot of cousins in my parents’ generation and they’re all “Aunt” [Name].

I actually am familiar with the Black Panther comics and I only know the answer to #4 (Jack Kirby; I do know the year he debuted - 1966 - but not the issue numbers).

Or Christopher Columbus.

Maybe? I mean, I don’t know, but maybe he is suggesting that race factored into people not voting for him. Not that the athletes have racial hatred but instead that it’s that systemic prejudice that’s much subtler and harder to spot and describe. 

Of course. I said that in my own comment. But since white people are the dominant group that hold most of the power in society, the cross-race effect matters the most in them. A black person misidentifying a white person can lead to mistaken “sightings” of Michael Bolton, maybe a dirty look or two. A white person…

I’m a musician at heart (and by training) so I hear the music first. And the music occurs to me slowly over time, in stages. First I hear the bass, then the treble/vocals (but not the lyrics, just the sound and cadence of the voice) and then the mids. And not always in the same listen; they unfold and layer in over…

His first wife was white as fuck, but after that he married Kebe Dunn, who is black.

Even worse...he is from the Upper EAST Side.

My husband has the second one but I didn’t know there were Dora Milaje Funko Pops! MINE

Pass, but if they do do it, please don’t let Halle Berry anywhere near it.

OMG, the $1 aisles make so much sense now

White people who say this shit geron my damn nerves. They’re the ones who invented the concept, created a caste system because of it, subjugated entire peoples because of it, harped in it til kingdom come from the biggest to the tiniest ways possible, and finally when it’s not fashionable to be racist (out loud)…

Janet Jackson’s career was not on a downward slope in 2004. She had a highly celebrated album that had been released just a few years prior, and she had another one slated to be released right after the Super Bowl. Music critics generally agree that her album Damita Jo was great and would have sold well had she not…

First of all...this commercial is HILARIOUS.

My cousin did this, too. He drafted some of his siblings & cousins to take turns being bartender behind a small little rented bar. It was sooooo much fun. Me and his sister got super drunk before/on our “shift” and poured everyone way too much liquor and then everyone else got drunk too!

I always assume I am going to pay unless told otherwise up front, and plan accordingly. Therefore, it is the not paying that is a pleasant surprise.

Someone - an older white male patient of hers - once told my mother she looked like Whoopi Goldberg, because at the time she had braids and he couldn’t distinguish between braids and locs. Even his grown white children were embarrassed for him.
