Yams is a tough one. Because generally its what many people, especially African-Americans refer to sweet potatoes as. In reality yams are an entirely different species than sweet potatoes, and the government mandates that anything called a “yam” have “(sweet potato)“ next to it for clarity for the consumer.

“Darn is just as bad as saying Damn.”

I’m glad you addressed “Ninja.” I’ve been seeing that one in the vernacular around here for a bit and kinda bothered me. Kinda like when your mom would say, “Darn is just as bad as saying Damn.” Wondered how everyone else took that one.

But I’m gonna have to stop you at Potato Salad. That’s a food that is constantly…

It’s almost like their discomfort isn’t about Wakanda’s lack of a functioning representational democracy at all! And to those really shook by a movie where whiteness wasn’t the hero, our thoughts and prayers are with you in this difficult time 🙏

However, there’s no good way for a white man to explain to a black man why it’s wrong to peacefully protest the systemic racism that has been going on in this country for 400…

I disagree. I’m white but my social circle includes a pretty good mix of different backgrounds. Here’s my hot take:

But it’s white people that need to talk about race. We’re the ones holding back the conversation saying “nope, slavery is over! black people can vote! Kaep is rich, not oppressed!”Chris Rock has a stand up bit where he says (paraphrase) his kids have the best chance to succeed, not because of him and his success, but…

Attn Trent Dilfer:

The only acceptable answer for a white man in this situation is as follows:
