Black Americans paid taxes during segregation for pools they weren't allowed to swim in, fountains they couldn't drink from and buses they had to ride in the back of. So...miss me with this "Why am I paying for school I didn't go to?" At least this is about uplift, not hate.

“Woke” was a term developed within the African-American community as a reminder to be aware and prepared. It was stolen to be directed at White people suspected of “virtue signaling” as a way to disarm its power and pervert it. Using it as a pejorative tells on yourself.

I don’t live in the UK so I have no clue who these “journalists” but I’ve never seen such a nasty, slanted line of questioning and such a delightfully deft rebuff. Shalit handed every snarky leading inquiry with strength and logic. Their frustration was delicious.

I am a Black woman with a Black son. I can’t grade your ironic racist phase on a curve. You could kill people. You are understood. But you can’t be forgiven till you admit you were wrong. No excuses. And maybe not even then. My survival doesn’t depend on my forgiving you.

@MrCitywide215 @notcapnamerica I didn’t say anything like that. I said that these women are racist. They yell “It’s February!” They know what they are saying and they rely on people like you to defend and coddle them and say they need to be educated. They know what they said.

@seahorsebend Jenn: I am sorry. This happened to me too. And I want you to just breathe. You can’t chart your way through yet. You have to start with letting the shock reverberate. Be easy on yourself. You don’t have to do anything but be. Please contact me if you need to.

Who cares if a teenager doesn’t know the music you knew when you were a teen? Introduce them! Y’all didn’t come onto this earth knowing all the stuff you know now either. Doesn’t matter when they meet the good stuff. Shut up and play it for them. #VanHalen #BillieEilish

My neighbor, who worked in healthcare, died of COVID three days before Christmas. She left two young kids, a grieving husband, sister, parents and close friends. She was maybe 40. And every time I leave my house I see the decorations she didn’t live to take down. Wear. A. Mask.

Wanting Black children to have the same resilience he learned as a wealthy white man from a prominent family and expecting that to be enough is so ignorant. Stop being racist and I’ll have less to overcome.

“You can't eliminate racism by telling people don't be racist. What you can do is we can make our kids resilient.” @RobertKennedyJr This statement by RFK Jr is tone-deaf at best. It’s as if the problem with racism is that Black kids aren’t tough enough to stand up to it. That

@jennyjaffe @Karnythia When I was the music reviewer for the @pbpost (I'm an all-around Features columnist/reporter now) a male reader wrote "When they first hired you I saw you and thought 'What could she know about rock music?' But now I think you're good." Uh, thanks?

@9Storytellers So some lady you don’t know starts questioning you about your college plans and basically demanding to see your papers, and she’s a nosy adult who doesn’t work for the school so you keep your head down because you owe her nothing. Sounds like a reason to have the cops come.

For those of you who don’t know what agents do: you don’t pay them or shop for them. They choose to represent you. @WME is the tip-top agency. They aren’t a modeling agency and they don’t represent people they can’t make money off. Just so you know.

@randysharpswife If you don’t need them don’t buy them. They aren’t going to stop selling the ones you like. This doesn’t have anything to do with you. You’re actually mad people who aren’t you are being accommodated and that’s sad. For you.

@JeffHMComics @9Storytellers And the fact that she thought she was entitled to those answers is what privilege is. I assume I belong in this space more than you. And that I have the right to investigate whether it humiliates you or not.

Soooo. Being sad and publicly bereft about the lack of decency and unity in this country is what’s really causing the disunity. Got it.

True story: in 1993 I worked at a crappy mall clothes store in Miami. The regional manager came in once and said to me “I’m sorry to say this but you have to watch those Black girls because they steal.” So as she was harassing two Black girls who never touched a thing…

Twelve women stealing $8 million dollars in merchandise is bananas. You can really accomplish a lot while security is busy following black women around the store.

If your offense is on the front page, your fake apology is on Twitter and your 2nd attempt is a private email to the husband of the offended and a whiny Instagram post but none in the paper you work for, you're probably not sorry. Just sorry it didn't go like you thought.

Which is why this app is full of Black people with stories of being told about their lives, confidently, by folks who don’t know us. That we all went to school for free. That none of us have fathers. That we can all sing. They were told this and we can’t tell them otherwise.
