There's one thing about the VP that is seldom discussed but is an unspoken part of the misogynoirist attacks against her. The fact that she's happily married to a white Jewish man. For both WW and BM, her marriage is an affront to their views of what BW should be, which is an asexual mule laboring for everyone BUT themselves. Factor in a long-running racist belief that Black women are "undesirable," the VP and Second Gentleman's marriage has them shook. WW are used to their status as the pinnacle of femininity, while BM willingly reduce

Where do I begin...

Sometimes the simplest explanation is the RIGHT one.

For instance, the white woman "researching" why her demographic were involved (and are serving time) in the January 6th insurrection.

She cites EVERYTHING but the ONE thing that has long united ww against BIPoC - RACISM.

There are Black folks who are knee-deep into conspiracy theories - from flat earth to believing "the man" put something into the drinking water that turns Black folks gay to claiming Beyoncé is a member of the illuminati. There is no shortage of kooks at the

Brian,

I have anxiety and depression.

I've had anxiety attacks in public, but you'd never know because 1) at that moment I'm trying to find a safe place and someone to call, and 2) I'm a Black woman who would never be given the benefit of the doubt if I were to have a public meltdown like Abigail here.

Mental health is already stigmatized in this country and often used to justify/blamed when there's a mass shooting - ESPECIALLY when the perpetrator is white. All you're doing here is keeping up the narrative and blaming the Black woman for protecting

When I think about this tumultuous week with SCOTUS, my rage doesn't just fall upon the 53% of ww, or those who voted 3rd party, but the chaos agents with Black faces in our midst like Ice Cube, Killer Mike, Lenard McKelvey (CtG), Luther Campbell, the F*A and A*OS fools - who spend their time and influence peddling ignorance for clicks and pats on the head from their white puppetmasters.

Yeah, I said it.

Our ancestors and ancestresses struggled, bled, and were often murdered in order for us to have a brighter future. They BELIEVED in us.

Yet we've

The first coach in men’s or women’s basketball history to take three different schools to the Final Four (Cheyney in 1982, Iowa in 1993 and Rutgers, in 2000 and again in 2007), C. Vivian Stringer has been a pioneer, visionary and leader during her four decades of success on the hardwood.

One of the most recognizable names in all of college basketball, Stringer – mother, teacher, coach - has built an illustrious legacy highlighted by countless

Little Black girls can't even enjoy a cartoon with a character who looks like them because there's always someone like white supremacist patriarchal churchianity-believing Melonie who feels the need to show the world just how racist she truly is. The April O'Neil on the left has brought out her visceral hatred of dark skin and natural hair because the only acceptable form of Blackness looks like the figure on the right. Ironically, even THAT image tends to offend racists because Blackness in any form just makes their inner klan hoods unfurl like flags.

When Black people say "we're not here to educate you", this is yet another reason why.

Black woman explains the true history of Aunt Jemima. White woman in her best Scarlett O'Hara says "fiddle dee dee, I love my darkies." Then tries to play the victim of "reverse racism."

I want to talk about forgiveness and why no, white people, you are NOT entitled to it from Black people.

It's been around 72 hours since ten innocent people were brutally slaughtered for being Black and as usual when things like this happen, white comfort supersedes Black grief. It took less than 24 hours before the 18 year old shooter was being labeled "a boy" by the press. Within that time frame came armchair psychologists with their favorite fallback diagnosis whenever mass shooters resemble their sons - mental illness.

What comes next? Forgiveness.

I'm near shaking with rage here.

It's not enough that Black people have had to prove our humanity and our right to exist since we arrived on these shores. It's not enough that we show more love for a country that refuses to love us back. Black people have fought and died in every single war from the Revolution to theaters in the Middle East. That White House the insurrectionist-in-chief is polluting was designed by Black hands and built by Black bodies. That is OUR HOUSE. Not his.

We have succeeded despite generational trauma which many of us still

We need a mass exodus of readers/subscribers of the @nytimes. They continue to be the "kinder, gentler" platform for the "poor, misunderstood, economically anxious" 45 supporter. We've read these "think pieces" for five years, yet nothing about Hillary supporters who had to live in Tr*mp's twilight zone. Nothing about Black voters who had to practically cross the River Jordan just to cast a ballot only to have the GOP attempt to throw out their ballots, or stories about Navajo and Hopi voters ravaged by covid who still showed up at the polls.

"One of the primary attempts to silence her came from a man named Harry Anslinger, the first commissioner for the Federal Bureau of Narcotics, and an extreme racist, even for the 1930s. As Johann Hari details in Chasing the Scream: The First and Last Days of the War on Drugs, Anslinger claimed that narcotics made black people forget their place in the fabric of American society, and that jazz musicians were dangerous in particular, creating “Satanic” music under the influence of marijuana.

@TiffanyDCross Respectfully I have to disagree.

Misogynoir is NOT new in the Black community and the fact that it's as toxic as it is has to do with our continued coddling and/or ignoring sexist behavior to the detriment of Black women and girls. @TiffanyDCross Black feminists in the 70's talked about this. The Moynihan Report became a template for the misplaced blaming of Black women as "emasculating" because many were single mothers despite Moynihan's complete erasure of the effects of the Vietnam War which

"Vanilla ice cream – flavored with a Nahuatl spice indigenous to Mexico, the cultivation of which was improved by an enslaved black man named Edmund Albius on the colonized Réunion island in the Indian Ocean, now predominately grown on the largest island of the African continent Madagascar, and served wrapped in the conical invention of a Middle Eastern immigrant – was the symbol of the American dream. That its pure, white sweetness was then routinely denied to the grandchildren of the enslaved was a dream deferred indeed."

Born Isabella Baumfree, Sojourner Truth was an abolitionist and women's rights activist. She is best known for her speech on racial inequalities, "Ain't I a Woman?" delivered at the Ohio Women's Rights Convention in 1851. "If the first woman God ever made was strong enough to turn the world upside down all alone, these women together ought to be able to turn it back, and get it right side up again! And now they is asking to do it, the men better let them.”
