Every conversation about racism and sexism I've ever had via social media goes just. like. this.
Read MoreWe don't have to agree on everything--or anything for that matter,
but I will respect your commentary as long as you respect mine.
In other words: Watch it, sucka.
are you do-do?
/What people *should* do and what they *actually* do are two completely different things. So ask yourself what kind of person you are: a should-do...or a do-do.

/Moral of the story folks: White dudes can get away with theft; White women can get ASSISTED in theft; Black folks, even when responding to people with "Sir" get ganged up on, threatened, yelled at, and the cops will be called.
You already knew that though, right? Well, if you didn't, watch for yourself. People are not exaggerating when it comes to America's perception of Black people. Black = guilty until proven innocent.
black rage
/"Black Rage is founded on 2/3rds a person,
Rapings and beatings and suffering that worsens,
Black human packages tied up in strings-
Black rage is founded on these kinds of things.
Black rage is founded on blatant denial,
Squeezed economics, subsistence, survival.
Deafening silence and social control--
Black rage is founded on wounds in the soul.
So when the dogs bite, when the beatings, and when I'm feeling sad,
I simply remember all these kinds of things, and then I don't FEAR so bad."
--Lauryn Hill
