Bilal and The Roots “It Ain’t Fair” didn’t get nominated, huh? What a load of bullshit. Bad enough that Detroit got messed over but that song is absolutely amazing, far superior to that John Legend/Common song from Selma and anything that was actually nominated this year. Fuck you, Oscars.

I thought Ellen was the Queen of giving out money and prizes since Oprah stepped down

I had my first and only abortion on January 20, 2003, two days before the 30th anniversary of Roe v Wade. This was not lost on me, even back then as a 19 year old. I still haven’t told my parents, and I’m not sure I ever will. They’re not really judgmental or religious. I’m not sure why I don’t feel comfortable…

I sure was told by several dizzy white women that black women’s issues were outside issues

Can we send her a plate wrapped loosely in foil so it leaks? Dollar Tree plates that you have to double up on and not the good Chinet plates. And cheap foil you can’t reuse—no Reynolds Wrap for her. Fatty pork ribs? The hot-hot baked beans that no one can eat? Questionable potato salad that isn’t kept on ice? A Chek…

To the ones saying “don’t invite her to the cookout” I say fuck yeah invite her. Shit she’s the first one to have the courage to say this shit. Still waiting for all the “woke” Hollywood women to call out their own and not everything with a penis which is easy and convenient to do. Thank you Cecile. Your turn Natalie…

I know Cecile Richards said some common sense shit that it’s a damn shame that we have to applaud because over 50% of white women voted for motherfucking Trump but here we are nice things. I know the urge is strong to do it but I’m telling you right now, black folks...

Where is Sandra Bullock?

The fact that the murders stopped once he was arrested speaks volumes. I have a hard time believing a serial killer would quit cold turkey because his previous crimes could be pinned on someone else. Sometimes the obvious answer is so for a reason.

This is definitely the worst thing I’ve listened to as a pregnant mom. But I can’t stop. It’s extremely interesting, infuriating, and heartbreaking all at the same time.

It’s just bizarre that we got all the way from being dared, to getting the bullhorn and the flag (unless they had those things lying around), to him going through with the “dare” and then being recorded. And not once did he say. Hey guys, this is fucked up and i’m ashamed that you think this is funny.

This was the first big story on CNN after they launched and because they are right there in Atlanta it got round the clock coverage once people started to give a damn about those children. And it had an impact over 700 miles away. My older siblings all got to walk to school or anywhere else in the neighborhood by…

I was stationed there during that election. Saxby Chambliss is even worse than his stupid fucking name.

“If he was (or is) innocent, Williams did himself no favors, having failed several polygraphs and fabricating information given to the police. Also, circumstantial DNA evidence makes him responsible for at least the two adult cases and he was then tied to many of the child cases, though not all”

There was just as strong a reaction here as in the States

My family moved from California to Atlanta in 1980. I was thirteen years old. My mom was a wreck. She enrolled me in martial arts classes. I had to be in the house before the streetlights came on. Watching the news every night was nerve wracking. Everybody had a theory. It’s hard to describe what a nightmare that time…

I remember this like it was yesterday. I had cousins who lived in Atlanta and I was terrified for them. It was especially jarring for me because my parents had just moved our family to an all-white suburb and it was like the news didn’t even exist for them.

I just learned about this yesterday and I am so looking forward to a fresh take. I absolutely believe Wayne Williams killed some people. The question is, how many and who killed the others. Sadly we will most likely never know the answer to that question.

Thanks for the recommendation. I am looking forward to listening to this podcast - although i don’t know that “looking forward” to it are the right words to say for something so heinous. I remember how terrified my mom was when all of this was going on - i was only 9 and we lived in New Jersey(and i am just a dumb…

She won’t. She seems like the type with a natural force field against empathy. Just adjust her hair and walk away.
