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”…

Five Terms that Democrats Need to Lose Immediately

Part IV. KILL “Pro-Life.” — I began writing my first three essays concerning how Democrats make wonderful debating points, but lose arguments before they begin by using terms that Republicans have crafted. Republicans have made a science of inventing emotionally-laden terms for public policy issues. Unfortunately, these terms become so popular that Democrats begin to…

Tell Michelle Obama to Kick Rocks. We’re Not Voting

Jaron Mays

No, you're not voting.

No, you're not voting. You and the rest of the foolish, short-sighted, "I'm-so-revolutionary-I'm-above-this-voting-isht-crowd" are not voting. Those of us who care what the future holds are voting, and, yes, we're voting for Democrats. You want to let the crazy Republicans do more harm than they do now? Go for it…

I Would Never be “Good Enough”

I was Black. Period. (I still am.) — My college boyfriend and I were not only “crazy in love,” we were “craziest in love.” When we talked to one another, we had so many “boos” and “poos,” and variations on “darling,” we could have been speaking a foreign language. We attended weddings and pictured ourselves as bride and…

It’s Smart to Move to a Red State

2.6K

Jean Campbell

A great idea, but it only works if we target our moves strategically.

A great idea, but it only works if we target our moves strategically. We can't scatter to every red state at the same time; we have to pick and choose a couple of states at a time in order to have the most impact. I'd suggest Georgia, so we can…

I'm an old, retired lady now, so I no longer have to put up with the employment bull, but oh, do people like us suffer. I have two Master's Degrees and am conversant, though not fluent, in a second language. There's no other way to put it; white people have…

America is the Most Brainwashed Nation in the World

This Attorney Claims Biden “Uses Black People”, Loves To Cause “Race Division”

Kennardo James

This man is a fool.

This man is a fool. Perhaps Biden could have been more tactful with his "ain't Black" remark, but I can't imagine being black (which I am) and voting for Donald Trump. More black men voted for Trump in 2020 than did in 2016. What is wrong with them? You are…

My Black Son Wants to be White

B.W.Dave

Your adopted son doesn't want to be "white."

Your adopted son doesn't want to be "white." What he wants, as you yourself have noticed, is to be given the same privileges that whites take for granted. He wants to be treated for who he is and not for his hue. The only way he sees that can happen…

Stop Clapping and Start Reading!

My Stories Count more than my Comments I like to see “claps” as much as the next person. I’ve got an article (rare) that has upwards of 1,000 claps. Yay, me! However, that essay is the exception. When I check my notifications, I get a lot of claps for comments. …
