           Are there any safe spaces for Black women in this world? Do we have any allies or accomplices?  Are we confined to the racial tropes that have plagued us since we were forced from our Motherlands? Why has it become our plot in life to be forsaken by EVERY demographic dwelling upon the earth?       We can NOT express emotions because we are either deemed aggressive or to be "faking it for attention".  We can NOT desire respect, because struggling is all that is [prodminately] associated with us.  We are expected to take on the emotional labor of EVERYONE while [simultaneously] expected to be subservient.       Even when someone steps from the shadows to offer us a glimmer of praise, we are told that we are NOT remarkable and that ALL WOMEN are [insert compliment here].  Generally, we are the bearers of blame while cosplayed more often than the Joker and Harley Quinn.  Our cries go un...

      Before you decide to tussle with me due to the title...hear me out.  Think for just a moment.  When was the last time that you questioned lies/gossip said to you regarding someone you do not lie or know? You DON'T.  You only want questions asked when the lies are targeted at you.  The lies conveyed to you RARELY make logical sense, but you ignore that and ride the wave right over to the "cool kids table".        Now I know that MANY of you proclaim that you prefer honesty over everything...but do you really? You will be the same people who have relied on an individual during your darkest times and survived the trenches with them, for you to turn on them because someone told you something that could NOT be substantiated nor does it make any sense.  You do this as a measure of gaining (or maintaining) your position within a click.        You will divide your family up into the "cool kids" and t...

           Disinformation has been a comfort drug for a while now, but its consumption of it has heavily increased since the dawn of the MAGA (now UltraMAGA) cult.  Now disinformation has become their "Linus blanket" combined with a reality-altering patch of sand for them to sink their heads to the bottom of.  Their comfort is deeply rooted in conspiracy theories, photoshop, memes, and [flat-out] lies.       Reality has become too hard for them to face.       Their "lord" has made them feel beautiful and seen due to him saying every quiet part out loud and proudly.  They have been given a space in which the blame for their lack of [financial & societal] success is displaced and they revel in this delusion.  This new brand of comfort drug has allowed them to time travel back to their "good old days" when they could proclaim loudly that they were atop the racial hierarchy and there was nothing that the res...

           White people never cease to be hypocritical.  For quite a while now they have been "Columbusing" every culture that they could under the guise that "culture is meant to be shared".  That is until something becomes near and dear to their oppressive little hearts.  A few months ago, they took to social media to tell the BIPOC community that Rock n Roll was their culture [and creation] and we should stick to Hip Hop. 😏. They weren't in a sharing mood (although they did NOT create the genre).     Before that, they were not willing to share their love of anime with Black and Brown fans.  Then there was the uproar regarding the 2023 'Little Mermaid' being Black and how that would infringe upon their culture. 😐. Now, the song, "Sweater Weather" has become their latest attempt at gatekeeping for the sake of their "comfort culture".       Keep in mind that this comes on the heals of them utilizing "St...

      Recently, there was a Black female therapist  (Shabree Rawls) that took to social media to inform Black men that they are in need of the expansion of their "emotional vocabulary" and THERAPY.  THIS IS SOMETHING THAT WE ALL KNOW TO BE TRUE.  The Black community has been fielding multiple conversations regarding this matter and pleading with Black men to heal themselves wholly.  It baffles me that she was REMOVED from her position due to the Black community taking offense to her "delivery".      A fellow Black woman (Isheka N. Harrison) kicked off the firestorm with an article  spotlighting the delivery of the therapist's message and the responses from [some] Black men.  The people (most notably the men) that took issue with the NEEDED message proved the point of Rawls' point.  The message was taken as condescending and disrespectful because she met the emotionally ignorant where they [currently] stand.    ...

      Why are there always soooooo many excuses given to pedophiles within the Black community? Why are members of the LGBTQUIA+ community are shunned and demonized for existing? No one bats an eye at the grandfather/father/uncle/brother/cousin that can NOT be left alone with ANY CHILD, but all eyes are on the effeminate child that merely wants to be loved and respected.        You abuse apologists don't even realize that that is what you are allowing your mouth to open and spill out, "Robert is guilty, but R. Kelly is a great artist." So because you like music that was INFLUENCED BY HIS LIFE AND TROUBLESOME THOUGHTS, he is to be absolved in the public eye for the trauma he caused? You, IDIOTS, are on par with the Trump cults with everyone that you have blamed for ROBERT S. KELLY'S ACTIONS.  You have blamed the victims, the parents, the industry, and more.  At this point, I am waiting for you all to blame the dang wind.     ...

      I have noticed that far too many of you are walking about "confused" at how the party of " law & order" are NOT keeping that sentiment for their own.  Are you not aware of the history of the tagline? It is a dog whistle that furthers the trope of Black & Brown people being violent criminals that require harsh penalties and minimal benefit of the doubt.  The line goes hand in hand with "the war on drugs" and "the war on crime".   At no point did they include themselves in the guilt or consequences of any of the "sentiments".      This is why they are enraged and proclaiming that the "left"/Democrats are trying to force violence from them.  Re-read that.  They are the ones that are above the law and they are the ones that should never endure consequences because of their love for controlling the lives of others.  Think of the irony of it all.  They idolize their ancestors that fled for religious freedoms, et...

           It must truly be delightful to live in a realm of selective memory and care.  There are far too many of us within the BIPOC community that do NOT have that ability...that privilege if you will.  We are reminded daily of the trauma inflicted upon our ancestors to the point that our DNA has been forever altered; as well as the trauma that is inflicted upon our collective daily.  We CAN NOT simply hold on to JUST: t he Holocaust 9/11 the Titanic  Pearl Harbor      We are riddled with the memories (and even flashbacks and PTSD) from: Japanese internment camps chattel slavery Lake Lanier Hurricane Katrina AIDS epidemic The Trail of Tears The Red Summer Black WallStreet the MOVE Movement Jonestown the Tuskegee Experiments Jim Crow era Native Boarding Schools MMIW Stonewall riots      The above is a mere sampling of events that have caused an inherent caution and lack of trust in the BIPOC community....

      For YEARS, those of us that have avoided becoming #45 cult members have listened to the sheeple screen about: "Lock her up" regarding Hillary Clinton & deleted emails "Hunter Biden needs to be in jail" regarding a "mythical" laptop "The election was stolen & the DOJ/Supreme Court needs to do something about this" "Obama should be tried for having Russia spy on Trump" "Obama (and now Kamala Harris) aren't citizens" Jan 6 committee is biased and onesided The LGBTQIA+ community is grooming children(while key GOP members are facing trafficking crimes and previous members have been indicted for pedophilia)        Yet, now that a TRUMP APPOINTED HEAD OF THE FBI & A TRUMP APPOINTED FEDERAL JUDGE found PROBABLE CAUSE for a FEDERAL SEARCH of his Mar-a-Lago golf resort "residence"...the energy has changed.  Now the people that wanted Trump to have the ability to weaponize the FBI during his double impeac...

      For generations within the US, racism has been a covert, whispered way of life.  Within the past decade, those quiet parts fermented in the hearts and minds of a [formerly silent] minority have become the echoed center stage of existence.  When racists were regifted their first tag line of "America First" alongside a new moniker, "Make America Great, Again", they became impossibly emboldened.       Along with the newly adapted loudness of their sentiments comes an odd desire to compete in the [newly formed] oppression Olympics.  This trend of oppression appears to be in [direct] opposition to members of the BIPOC community no longer "going along to get along".  As we strive to hold individuals accountable and ensure that there are consequences to their anti-humanity actions, to them, it feels like oppression and disrespect.       The MOST privileged individuals of this nation (cis-gendered, straight, [pseud...

         It is [virtually] impossible to not notice the amount of regurgitated talking points that make their way into political conversations online as well as in real life.  Very few on the right research or read anything that pertains to pending elections/legislature/[pertinent] issues.  They [willingly] allow themselves to be brainwashed via illogical, and hypocritical talking points from whoever is the loudest and the closest to the Christian Nationalist platform.         GOP politicians consistently take to Fox News and social media to proclaim how badly the government is failing the US population.  It is IGNORED by their constituents that THEY ARE A PART OF SAID FAILING GOVERNMENT.        Additionally, the same politicians freely vote AGAINST the best interests of everyone that placed them in their positions.  They skate past any and all accountability by spewing untruths packaged into...
