Every time I write on racism, there’s always a white person in my comments denying racism or going on about colorblindness, or taking it to the level of stuck on stupid and attempting to convince me that “reverse racism” is more prevalent or that it’s “The Blacks” who get special treatment. I’m always left wondering what am I to do with this comment?

I won’t lie. My initial instinct is to block the commenter. In the words of Sweet Brown, “ain’t nobody got time for that.”

Apparently me discussing racism is what causes the “divisiveness”…

Karentitis is an illness that causes sufferers to behave in a hostile, erratic, and delusional manner. Karentitis is an illness that is psychosocial in nature. Those who suffer from Karentitis are impulsive, quick to anger, and illogical in their thinking, moods, and behavior. Sufferers of Karentitis lack self-control and emotional stability.

Nice guys don’t finish first.

I feel uncomfortable writing this one because it sounds so bad, but hear me out. There are big fish and there are little fish, and right now it seems like the big fish are eating the little fish. Look at the way the pandemic is being handled. Climate change is being ignored, the wealth gap is increasing, racism is getting worse, and Afghanistan has fallen. Whether it’s business, politics, or your own job, it seems ruthlessness, selfishness, and even psychopathy are regularly rewarded. …

Is that a funny? No its not. It’s a statement that’s meant to make the receiver feel like they don’t belong…in their own country.

While I was on social media last year, posting my feelings about the Breonna Taylor verdict, a white male poster informed me that if I didn’t like America, I could go back to where I came from. Heaven? My mother’s womb? What he meant is that I can go back to Africa. The thing is, I’m not from Africa. I’m from the United States of America. Shockingly (not really), this was not the first time I’d…

It’s Wishful Thinking

How many times do women in a troubled relationship proclaim, or think to themselves, he’s going to miss me when, or if, I leave. It will be then that he appreciates me, realizes the great thing he had and how much he loves me, or that he’ll come running back with his tail between his legs. Sometimes the minute the relationship is over, women say to themselves, or our friends tell us, that he’s never going to find anyone else as good as you. …

Kanye West’s new album named after his late mother, Donda, is set to be released on August 6. Last Thursday he had a listening party for the album at the Mercedes-Benz stadium in Atlanta. It broke Apple’s streaming record with 3.3 million listeners. He’s now staying at the stadium completing the album. While many have seemed to forget about Kanye’s shenanigans from the past, I haven’t. Here are six reasons why I won’t be streaming his new album, Donda…

He disrespects Black people. Kanye West said slavery was a choice. In 2018, he went to the TMZ headquarters, of all…

To say that COVID-19 changed the world is an understatement. It will always be known as a world-changing moment in history. Between lockdowns, death tolls, and lack of knowledge of what exactly the virus was, it was a pretty scary time. It still is. I remember the beginning of COVID in 2020. There was the belief that the world needed to lockdown. Many Americans began to work from home as companies felt it was safer, and that workers did not need to come into their place of employment to do their job effectively.

The exception was essential workers. These included…

I received my deck of race cards on my 13th birthday. As I got older and understood the world more, these cards were to help me navigate the world. Whenever racism occurred, or what I believed to be, I was to pull a card. I still have my cards to this day. A red, green, and black map of Africa adorns them and the face sides have a different person on each — figures like Martin Luther King Jr., Harriet Tubman, Barack Obama, and Beyoncé. You get the drift. I whip out a card whenever it suits me.
