When people tell you that as a white person you're centering yourself, it's this. Trump centers our discourse on himself CONSTANTLY. It's exhausting. But that's how it feels to others when you say "not all white people." You are acting like trump.

I see my purpose as being an appreciator of unusual films. But I just had to write 500 words on Andy Milligan. For a long time, I tried to appreciate him. I failed.

FAMU can't use the word Black on anything posted around campus related to Black History Month, to stay in compliance with Florida state laws against DEI. Black students can't use the word Black at their Historically Black College during Black History Month.

I am telling you as a Black woman clinician, it is NOT a mental illness. It's a horrible learned behavior. White supremacy is a learned behavior.
Once y'all start associating it with a mental illness all it's going to do is give these fckers justification to say they have 0 control themselves.

Gonzales on Liam Ramos and his family: "They're not gonna qualify for asylum. So what do you do with all the people that go through the process and do not qualify for asylum? You deport them. I understand that 5-year-old and it breaks my heart. I also think, what about that 5-year-old US citizen?"

What *about* that 5-year-old US citizen? Finish the sentence, Congressman. What does that hypothetical child have to do with Liam Ramos? Spell it out. Don’t just say “but what about our kids” and stop there. Explain your logic.

Not for nothing, the person who coined the "Kamala is a cop" meme that took off like wildfire in "leftists" circles was a woman who was convicted under Harris' tenure as AG for indecent contact with a minor, a teenage boy.

I'm not denying sounding or being trifling bringing up his stammer. I'm just speaking about what I've seen when I never, ever watch any of this shit. I haven't watched This Week since Sam and Cokie. I don't respect these "journalists" and watching today reminded me why.

Am I triflin for saying that Jonathan Karl's consistent stammer makes it so that Republicans just roll over him talking with no flow of real interruption? When more than anything there always needs to be someone with verbal command moderating these shows so they don't just become GOP propaganda.

For the past few years rather than share Blk history factoids instead what I’ve done is provide a prompt then people can do their own research in their own time. I’ve gotten good feedback for doing it this way
So in honor of Black History month
Today's prompt is Fritz Pollard

I like to be fair as possible. AIPAC has endorsed people I do not like and I believe are harmful to the country but they also has supported folks who has given their all to help. If a person best quip is I don't take money from AIPAC, that's not enough for me. To each their own.
