I am in no way attempting to invalidate anyone's feelings. There is a valid reason we all do/think/feel the way we do. Understand we don't have to feel whatever way if we do not want. I say this because I maintain that our concern with the LGBT+ community is a waste of energy as it is mostly...

That's been a knife in my side for a while. The "official" definition of racism is arguably, the biggest perpetuation of it. Even if someone sincerely wanted to battle racism, they don't know what it is because the perpetrators are the ones who are defining it. Right out of the gate, it's...

It is clear to me that she has no idea what she is saying. It so profoundly undermines her stance, the notion she would say this with the actual weight of her words in her consciousness is not even humanly possible. This was a thoughtless response to pain that ultimately, she had inflicted on...

I've never done that though. In fact, I just said I don't know what is good for anybody. I don't know what anyone should or shouldn't do. I have talked about the pitfalls of judgment lately, but I do not recall saying black people SHOULD NOT judge nonblack people. I did say if you judge "the...

Did I say something offensive?

You say this as if you have heard me speak bad about a any other group. I think your POV is has definite validity to it. I want to offer another way to look at it: Amputation might be objectively bad for bodies but ultimately, we are not bodies.

I look at it this way: I don't know what's good for anybody or anybody's children. I don't even know was good for myself. If I had the choice, I would never chose not to be depressed for 2 decades or develop multiple sclerosis but those things led me to a place where I am developing a...

Why would the devil be giving me the key to freedom from the devil?

"Pink" and "brown" (black).

Well, not me. I didn't do it. These aren't my ideas. I just observed them. (Of course I had the help of people pointing them out). But I receive your meaning.

The world has been using judgment and shame to control people since forever. Literally everyone on the planet (and including the planet) is suffering but we think the remedy is more judgment and shame. We are all insane (discernment) because sanity would be doing something different. I believe...

I didn't say it was a bad thing. I agree, that would be just imagination. I'm just saying it only truly affects the person doing the judging. "Judge not, that ye be not judged." Doesn't have anything to do with "a higher power" or other people judging you. When you judge, you literally only...

I see it as an exercise in fighting imaginations. How could we know if abortion was illegal that we would not be dying just as much in a different way and/or women would just use a different method? Imagination. How can we know that a life that isn't here is supposed to be here? Imagination. How...

True. "Oneness" and "unity" are not the same. Unity is something that we do. Oneness is simply the fact of the matter, we cannot do or undo it. We just recognize it. Unity comes from without, the recognition of oneness comes from within. Unity is in outward expression of oneness. I have...

The "not guilty" plea perplexes me. What angle are they running here? Is he trying to get the worst possible sentence, shooting for martyrdom?

The part where he puts the gun down, acting like he was going to provide a fair fight then immediately goes to pick it back up when obliged reminds me of when cops demand black folks ID then immediately shoot you or at you when you comply. There is a deep-rooted fear there that they want to...

Depression is a defense mechanism gone awry. It is an illusion. We unconsciously create standards or ideals for ourselves we believe we should live up to (for our survival) then we hate ourselves for not living up to them. And of course, the standards are not fixed in reality so they change...

Dave neutralized that shit tho, he was grounded like a mf. In the end, it took the guy to trip him by the legs/feet to get him down. It was a hell of a spear but it was determination that "won" the day (for a second, anyway).

Funny how after the guy took Dave Chapelle down, he took down 2 more people before they beat him down. bglaughing2This shit is insane.

Here's the funny part, he says: "As I researched these problems for my latest book, I did wonder whether anyone claiming to speak about reparations had done any real thinking on it." But argues: "In his (Ta-Nehisi Coates) view, there was a precedent for American reparations in the money paid...
