Son of Baldwin: Gay Is NOT the New Black →
sonofbaldwin:
As a man who is both black and gay, I can tell you, with all certainty, that gay is NOT the new black. If it was, racism would be a suitable word to describe the discrimination I face as a gay man and homophobia would be a suitable word to describe the discrimination I face as a black man.

With the virtual uses and changing of language online it’s important we note how we are using the @ symbol in our name and in the things we are creating and writing. For many of you this is “common knowledge,” but the reality is that some folks have not ever really thought…

Anonymous asked: Thank you for your post about dating white people, especially from a QWOC perspective. It gave me a lot to think about. I appreciate your point of view. Seriously. I am kind of talking to a white girl and in search of attention I feel I ignored a lot of the "icky-ness". This gives me words to describe that icky feeling. So thank you.
The Most Persuasive Case for Eliminating Black... →
If ever there were a case for eliminating the discipline, the sidebar explaining some of the dissertations being offered by the best and the brightest of black-studies graduate students has made it. What a collection of left-wing victimization claptrap. The best that can be said of these topics is that they’re so irrelevant no one will ever look at them.

A few days ago, a fellow blogger, Freedom Fighter, posted a really good piece about why, as a queer woman of color, she doesn’t date white people. I agree with pretty much everything she says in that post. I don’t date white people, either. I used to. As recently as a few…
