I heard a line recently “you should let it rip around here more often” that seems a whole lot more than fitting in the comment section of this here post.

I am offering the fact that this article represents what one woman of color witnessed during the debate. You don’t and that is fine. I will say again, unless you are a woman of color you would not have any knowledge of how white men ignore everyone in the room but other white men. Pence was condescending with his…

Very well written article! And Susan Page absolutely pissed me off last night. She let Mike Pence undermine her and Senator Harris during the entire debate and she was weak.

offering up this milestone as a conciliatory gesture; his own sense of entitlement too entrenched to mask the tinge of condescension in his delivery.

Are you a woman? I’m not asking to be combative, but I recognized that behaviour as something I have experienced before as a woman. I’m seeing all my female friends discuss the same element right now. It resonated with many women.

Death Rally

Well unless you are a woman of color I would not expect you to get that vibe. I am not a woman and I got the vibe because I have experienced it. Do you honestly think that just because Harris is a US Senator that changes everything? Several months ago AOC experienced the same behavior on the Capital steps as a US…

I believe the author is pointing out that this is typical behavior of white men and that Sen. Harris should not have to deal with such behavior. I am not a black woman, but I have seen enough and witnessed such behavior from white men for so long that it is considered normal and an inherent right. This is all bullshit…

When my mother uttered the words, “I AM speaking” two octaves below her regular speaking voice, a chill would shoot down my spine. It ran a close second to “let me tell you one thing”...which signaled to me that she was DOOOONE.

I just couldn’t get past the childlike intellect of Pence who has a penchant for straw man fallacies. Every time Ms. Harris would present a cogent, detailed argument (ie., the abysmal failure of Covid response), he would reduce her point to something trivial like “Oh Americans (i.e. white people) did you hear her? She…

I was more than a little shocked to see that by their methodology, CNN put the two down as having had equal speaking time. I guess time spent reclaiming her time counts against her.

The amazing thing is he had so many words, and really never said much of anything. There was absolutely no reason he needed the time he took, I swear sometimes he was slowing down, just so he could go over his time.
It was a blatant display of his lack of respect not just to Harris, but also to Page and everybody…

“the 53 percent of white women too cowed by their proximity to white male power to do the right and rational thing in respect for the greater good.”

Her eloquent and firm: “I’m speaking” was a declaration of our agency and our right to assert that agency. For me and hopefully for our girls, it was everything. That statement reminded me of Zora Neale Hurston saying: “If you are silent about your pain, they’ll kill you and say you enjoyed it”. Aint nobody going to…

Yes.

Is there an opportunity for the production of a Black Ken to help Black parents and their children understand why Blacks shoot infants, sucker punch the elderly, and murder each other? The ‘Black Karen’ Obama aint doing it, the Oprah aint doing it, and the Black community sure aint doing it.

When I worked at Toys R Us, the saddest part of my day was when a grandma would come in and ask me where the “White” Barbies were whenever we sold out.

Cue the barbie funeral pyres in 3, 2, 1....
