Good read. It had that thing I like. Nuance. Not gonna read the comments which will be filled with ignorant hate rants against anyone who claims Christianity spewed by people who pretend to be intelligent and open minded.

Frightened people comfort themselves by shrinking their world. *shrugs*

Gets visibly upset when they see Black people not in poverty is my #1 go to.

Damon? Damon. I’m gonna need you to cosmopolitize your regional blindness. Rural/country culture + white does not correlate with racist. Not even a little bit. I really think you should know that. I really think you should talk more to Black folks who live in places where people hunt, drive pick up trucks and have…

I not only read the entire bible at vacation bible school, I memorized much of it. I can recite the 66 books, Lords prayer and 23 psalms to this day. I’ve been to a lot of churches, I’ve never EVER heard of am evangelical church, Black, white, Latino or purple that doesn’t have a weekly bible study. I can confidently…

I really truly feel you Damon. I wrestle with this pervasive stupidity that seems to be plaguing us like.....a plague. It’s like people caught the stupid virus and its spreading like wildfire. Or maybe it’s a virus that turns off people’s good sense, because a lot of these people used to have the good sense to not…

Bacon and grits aint a hack. That’s standard. I put bacon, eggs, cheese and tabasco in. Sometimes fried onions and jalapenos

Sometimes I put the bacon fat in it instead of butter. It should be tried, but only with the best, uncured bacon.

There is a big, BIG difference between grits done well and grits done in a hurry or by someone who doesn’t know or respect the process. Same as collard greens. There is a process. If you hate grits, blame your mama.

Anyone claiming fundamentalist and evangelical Christians don’t read the bible never been to a fundamentalist or evangelical church. All of them, and by all, I do mean ALL, have bible study weekly where you read long ass passages. Then there is the Sunday sermon where you follow along while the preacher may read long…

Cosign. This was brilliant. Thanks for writing it.

White latinos need to pass an exam. Some of them are worse than whites, they think they gotta be extra racist to get in the white club.

You are onto something about dump people thinking they are smart and the minute they discover something, they assume they are the only one who knows it and they gotta get the word out. I think you have to be somewhat smart to recognize things you don’t know.

I applaud the intent but this “only psychotherapy and drugs can treat depression” dogma that’s going around is sadly misinformed. Depression is caused by an imbalance of certain neurotransmitter like serotonin and dopamine, made by your brain. Psychotherapy and/or drugs may or may not result in those neurotransmitter…

I haven’t dated anything but men who want to be seen as good men more than they want anything else. Usually mommy issues, imho. It’s really shitty to deal with but a lot of things are shitty to deal with. I think I’ve got this particular shitty down, though. I just keep showing men like you a mirror and snatch their…

I get what you are saying but there has been a trend in the past few months coinciding with the election of the orange thing. I don’t fully understand it, but we’ve come to a time where men engaging in varied and miscellaneous behavior that is hurtful to others on whatever level for whatever motivation is now reduced…

I’m sorry. Old is fabulous. Get used to it.

Other signs you are not ready for a Black friendship: You really want to ask about differences in sexual prowess of either gender or you really want to ask about hair or touch people’s hair. You’re in fetish land and nobody wants that around. If the question “Why do Black people ______” pops into your head, you’re…

I concur. New, obscure liquor is always welcome.
