And that’s exactly what this is about. People are subtly attributing Facebook’s privacy breaches to Mark Zuckerberg’s youth, relative inexperience, and supposed social ineptitude - as if Facebook was not a company that employs thousands of people with different levels of experience and specialty areas (including a…

If you want your salary raised, go unionize with your coworkers and make it happen. The argument “they shouldn’t get better because other people are getting suckered too!” Is a dumb one.

Van is definitely biracial, but she also fees more like a caricature than a real person (and she’s gotten worse). Pretty much all of her episodes have been about her functioning as an accessory to Earn or being affected by something he’s done. Just because they commented on it doesn’t mean they’ve fixed it. (The one…

I don’t know any actual white people - like not TV critics but just regular degular white people - who watch Atlanta.

Besides, even if he was ‘off,’ the school is still 12% Black. Not 0%, which is pretty much what I’ve seen in all the pictures in all the coverage of this school until today.

In an ideal world, that’s how it works. In the real world, it’s not, and dealers specifically prey on psychological tricks they know will work on people (that’s why there are so many articles on how to successfully buy a car). Why should the onus be on someone facing racial discrimination to say “Oh wait, by the way,…

Yeah, this. I wouldn’t call myself a superfan but I will always go see Beyonce in concert. She puts on an amazing show.

THIS. I live in the greater Seattle area. One of my sorors is black woman in her 60s or 70s who grew up in the Central District of Seattle, historically a black neighborhood. She went to Garfield High School (one of the blackest high schools in the city) and then onto UW. She’s been in Seattle for years and years, and…

Aw man. Jamaica is where I was born. I only lived there until I was five years old, but I returned many summers and holidays to visit my grandparents, who lived there until I was in my teens.

I used to live in Washington Heights (so just north of Harlem) and then on W. 119th St (so just south of Harlem) from 2008-2015. Even in that relatively short period of time I saw the neighborhood get whiter and whiter. There’s a Whole Foods at Malcolm X and 125th St. now.

So, objections:

1. White people who live in New York have to say bodega. Because otherwise they’re calling it a “corner store” or “convenience store” and that just doesn’t properly encapsulate a bodega.

7. Do not ban this word. Then we’re going to get (more) white people saying stuff like “SoHa” (an abomination that…

This, frankly, is a dumb argument.

Bandwidth and deliverables aren’t meaningless buzzwords - they both actually mean something in context and can be useful.

How do you know if a person is going to add value to you if you don’t at least spend some time with them up front?

I had my registration blocked one year because I was on a full scholarship and I needed to maintain a certain GPA, and the scholarship office (Spelman) had incorrectly recorded my GPA as a full point lower than it was even though the registrar’s office had it correctly. I had to call them up with copies of my…

Let me tell you, HBCUs are not the only ones who do that. I used to work in student services at an elite predominantly white university (recently) and they do the same damn thing.

But you are wrong. Morehouse doesn’t have a school of medicine; Morehouse School of Medicine was originally founded by Morehouse College but is independent from Morehouse College and has been since 1981. In fact, Morehouse School of Medicine has been independent from Morehouse College longer than MSM has actually be…

Bigots donthid on purpose because it has power. It’s the same reason bigoted white folks wanted to keep brown American figures out of history books and off the money and why many folks resist correctly identifying LGBTQ historical figure as such. Because then they can perpetually spin the narrative that minorities’…

I mean this is the point where I cracked up laughing, because she’s so out of touch that she doesn’t even know how to be relatable at all. Like not even close.

There are black people all over South America. There are over 25 million just in Brazil and Colombia alone. Over 30% of Guyanese people and nearly 40% of Surinamese people are of at least partial African descent, as is the majority of the people of French Guiana. And almost every other South American country has a…
