They think this is a new day and that racism is old and tired and that respectability is the answer because that's what they were taught.

It was really important. But the burden of whiteness is this: You can live in the world of myth and be taken seriously.

White supremacy is why Black children think there is something special about going to school with White children.

Wonder if white defenders of police brutality notice how ridiculous they sound trotting out the same excuses every 28 hours.

too many women are ill informed about the lives of other women -and too many of the other women prefer it that way

Women are allowed to ignore any man they choose @askcheyb. I know it's hard for you, being perpetually ignored, but it's true.
