Throwing “whataboutism” around is usually a way to prevent others from pointing out double standards and hypocrisies. I am one of those who think Farrakhan has a right to defend himself against groups like the ADL, AJC etc when they single him out; My issue with his response is his blanketing of “the Jews”. Any time…

Damn, that was quick! By the time I heard about this mess Nick Cannon had already been canceled, erased, disappeared. lol

Shit, that’s true.

No surprise here at all. These organizations were not created to serve or carry the interests of black people and only truly deluded Black women still think otherwise. So much for intersectional feminism: nice term but unattainable, a fanciful hope.

“We don’t endorse those words. They have no connection to this show.”

A rank colorist! Has nothing but contempt for dark skinned black people, especially women. He can go to hell.

The SPLC has had it’s own internal issues with sexism and racism but at least they are fair about things and don’t opportunistically give others a pass. I support them.

Glad for her but not as excited as I should be. She was a favorite of mine until she basically became another black voice channeling the DNC’s talking points on MSNBC. What i’m looking for is an independent black voice willing to break with establishment politics and not labeling dissenting voices as “russian bots”,…

Farrakhan is not singled out and demonized the way he is by groups like the ADL, AIPAC, AJC etc because of his homophobia or fallout with Malcolm. His particular targeting in this context goes all the way back to his embrace of Arafat/the PLO and his continuing rejection of modern Zionism and the state of Israel. Lots…

Farrakhan is your obsession, not mine! Deal with the hypocrisy & double standards of honoring and embracing folks like Billy & Franklin Graham, Pastor John Hagee, Robert Jeffress et al who’ve said worst shit than Farrakhan while at the same time asking black folks to denounce & distance themselves from him. Why does…

“Jackson also shared posts praising Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan, who has been labeled as antisemitic by both the Anti Defamation League and the Southern Poverty Law Center.”

Prosecute her to the fullest extent possible! I respect Mr Christian Cooper’s take but he seems to reside in kumbayaville. I hate that place!

Good for Billy Porter and this moment! Yet sometimes in checking out some of his images in mainstream media you can’t help but wonder who’s using who? And given this country’s insidious & pernicious history of both emasculating and castrating black manhood through imagery, I become a little suspect.

Thank you! Exactly what I was aiming for, especially your second paragraph.

Nah, I don’t believe that spin for one second!

“Crown Heights pogrom”?... “Pogrom”?!

“These are desperate times.” True, but times & things have been even more desperate for us in the past yet we’ve found ways to survive. Frankly, I have nothing but contempt for Joe Biden, especially after listening to some of his speeches during the crime bill debate when his language was nakedly racist. However, with…

Lol.. I find her fascinating despite the naked political contradictions she represents: how could you scold black men about their “unsolicited opinions” and misogyny yet go about supporting, promoting, and hailing a white man with a reputation for being creepy towards women, and pretty much not taking black women…

hmm, very interesting, very very interesting... You’re quite interesting!

Just to be a bit mischievous and since you’re on the “genetic testing” tip, how do you account for the ‘Lemba’ people of Southern Africa and their “Cohanim”/Jewish priest genetic connection? Again, these things can get tricky, even with genetic testing.
