Black Division & Fake Unity Over Minimal Shit That right there is why we can’t get free. Because our community does not know how to work with each other through compromise. Granted, this mentality was ingrained within us at the hands of Europeans during colonization and slavery but we still have yet to overcome any [...]

Have you ever noticed that once white gain access to our community, they inevitably do something to fuck it up? I mean, seriously. They think that they’re ‘in’ so they say or do something which makes you crane your neck and give them the side-eye because of their behavior. Now, I would like to think [...]

Subliminals. And for once I’m not talking about messages in music. I mean that status update or tweet you type out in the dead of night or early morning hours. The one where you say some sort of the following: “I’m moving on.” “I’m over it.” “I deserve better anyways.” “You let me go, now [...]

The dispensable Black male. You’ve had to have thought about this before. I know it’s on my mind on the regular.

Self-Hatred. It’s something that has caused overwhelming harm to our community. It is multi-faceted, inter-generational, and causes ill-health. I recently engaged in a Facebook debate, as I often do, with some poor unfortunate misguided students who made the following type of comments: “Go back to Africa.”- The quintessential racist retort. “That English is a language [...]

Rewarding bad behavior? Is this really the culture we have now? That we’re raising children in? And you wonder why I don’t want to pollute my uterus with one of these parasites. Because why would I want to raise a child in this day and age and have them believe for an instant that the [...]
