Sometimes white people go too far in trying to relate with Black people. A debate started on Twitter this weekend over how exactly we define “digital blackface.” This morning's breakfast: two scrambled eggs with cheese and Everything But the Bagel seasoning, a whole avocado, and two slices of bacon on a bed of arugula. The toast is sliced French bread. Everything on this plate is from @traderjoes . We are almost at the end, y’all. This morning's breakfast bowl: a pile of arugula, a whole Haas avocado, 1/2 a cup of black beans, queso cotija, and two runny eggs. What did you eat for breakfast this morning? In my latest for @theGrio, I explain why everything is always about race. Man, the prophecy was right there! The latest issue of my newsletter, off the record, is out now, and it discusses the frustrating experience of talking about race with white people who would rather talk over Black people than listen.

Hello, Tuesday. I am ready to beat you into submission.

It’s Wednesday, and I’m not wearing pink

Standard

It’s Wednesday. I didn’t necessarily feel like it, but I got my ass up, said an affirmation in the mirror, and decided I am going to kick Wednesday’s ass. 

I’m not wearing pink, but I’m wearing all black, and Wednesday Addams wears all black, so it’s kinda the same thing, right?
