The way that a Black woman in America can be as highly, hyper educated, intelligent, elegant, skilled, experienced and qualified as KBJ and still be treated like this by white men on national television. It's not even symbolic. It's a glaring body of evidence.

Issa Rae's out of office email message says "I am unavailable, unreachable and uninterested for the next two weeks" and I love it.

Now a whole new generation of black folks are traumatized by nooses, the resurgence of a specific, public racism. One thing to be triggered by image of a noose, another to manage the trauma of having your neck in one. Jussie Smollett didn't deserve this. None of us deserve this.

As a young black woman starting out as a producer for the prestigious Charlie Rose show, I had to gauge every day whether to respond to casual racism or sexually predatory behavior.

"The black woman of the white imagination is not the black woman of reality." Whew. A. Word.

My white adoptive family can't see the value of the Black writers who endorsed my memoir, bc they've never read them. If you're a grown white person and haven't read Roxane Gay, Kaitlyn Greenidge, Damon Young, Bassey Ikpi or Kiese Laymon, you shouldn't be raising Black children.

Trump hates all women. But he especially hates black women. I salute you @Yamiche — for every day you hold it down for us, do your job and do it brilliantly.

That video of Laura Ingraham being racist as hell toward Lebron James is a disgrace and her smug confidence of knowing she'll get away with it is exactly what racism looks like.

His own bank thinks Ryan Coogler is trying to rob them when he's just trying to take money out of his own account, and then he gotta deal with Variety calling him a "promising" director. Any given Wednesday in America.

America to BW: Be strong but not to strong. Raise our kids while we shoot yours. Save democracy but not too loudly. Be conventionally beautiful but not too dark and never more so than white women while they steal your entire aesthetic. Be assertive but never on your own behalf.
