You Make Everything about Race! (The Big Reveal)

Six days ago, I wrote an essay about how white people tell brown people that we “…make everything about race” and are always looking to find racism where none exists. I disagreed with that statement and posited that black and brown folks simply witness racism and point it out to…

“Woke” People are at it Again. They Made the Little Mermaid BLACK.

Part Two (It helps if you’ve read Part One.) A quick recap of Part I. The Disney Corporation is shooting a live-action The Little Mermaid, and in a cowardly capitulation to the wicked “Woke-ists,” the new mermaid is being portrayed by a black actress. There are many who are not amused. SHE’S BLACK! Disney is deliberately stirring up controversy…

Yep, YOUR Free Speech Americans absolutely revere the First Amendment to the Constitution, or at least what they believe they know about it. Just for reference, here it is: “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of…

Five Daily Disses that Demonstrate White Privilege

AKA, “Did You See That?” — White people like to insist that they are not “racist” because they personally do not engage in racist acts. They insist on relegating racism to the past, thus absolving themselves of present responsibility, and they deny their inherent privilege because that would confirm that there is, in fact, a “system”…

Hello, KourtneyNicole!

Hello, KourtneyNicole! I'm black, and I'm pretty sure that I live fully in the present, though, I am aware, of course, of insults that have happened to me, in my own past, and to people of color in our collective past. The problem is, as Leo yells out, they are…

In Defense of Studying “Basket Weaving” At College

ALL 50 CLAPS for someone who appreciates the many aspects of Art and Science present in basket weaving, quiltmaking, silversmithing, and the like. People forget that what we once called "the Useful Arts" and "Industrial Arts" are, in fact, the technology of our daily lives. I'm pretty certain that many of the Republicans who deride "basket weaving" probably buy fancy, hand-woven ties, carry handmade, tooled and stitched bags, and buy hand-blown glassware. I guess people only hate basket-weaving if someone else receives the basket.

No, she does not reason that people who "obsess" over race are oppressed.

No, she does not reason that people who "obsess" over race are oppressed. She first uses the verb "obsess," which she cannot quantify, then you posit that what is her opinion is reason. Both she, and you, are wrong. I write about "race" a great deal because despite the number…
