News Editor for The Root. I said what I said. Period.

Oh trust me I know. I’ve lost count of the number of times I’ve been insulted, attacked, or harassed for not falling over myself to be polite to “liberal” Christians who refuse to police their own community and refuse to even listen to me talk about my experiences at the hands of (almost entirely white) Christians. If

I’d hit it.

Yeah, I am absolutely floored, though I shouldn’t be. Jesus was a radical who was very outspoken about standing up for justice and love and protecting the marginalized. These people had an opportunity to do that just by association and by supporting this pastor, and they rebuked him instead. It’s always a shame to

So, the “J” in WWJD stands for Judas now? Hmm, mkay.

I was going to throw some snarky shade at Harvey but it seems to have been taken care of.

Making white people feel uncomfortable is a far worse crime than anything white people have ever done. So remember, if you’re going to protest the things white people continue to do, do it somewhere where white people aren’t affected by it or can’t see it. Also don’t talk about it.

What an amazing open and blatant stance that church just gave: “Are you telling me that you went on national TV and spoke out against racism and hatred? I’m sorry, but we just cannot have that type of thinking or action in the church.”

So I know I’m supposed to “understand” white Christians, because they’re the default and all of society is forced to be familiar with their terminology and views and what they consider normative.

It’s especially funny that the reporters attending the press briefing had to correct her.

Teeth Harvey got some black ass nerve. His ass should know more than anyone what happens when you sell your birthright for a bowl of stew. This nigga really is a sellout. What did he think was going to happen as a result of embracing the Cheeto in Chief? Did he expect a free membership to Mar A Lago? Was he hoping to

Monique this is a savage takedown of Harvey. Some will say too savage.

Because I went to see this man?!

When they give you a key to the city, it doesn’t actually mean anything right? Like it’s just a photo op for your city council rep to get out of the office for the day, glad hand, and eat some ice cream?

So he’s saying he should have acted like a man and thought like a woman?

Like how bad a stink do you have to have on you for someone to say ‘I don’t know him,’ but in the same interview say ‘yeah I’m good buds with a decades long serial rapist.’

“Callahan told the Star Tribune that while some employees walked off the job immediately after finding out about DeRoma’s donation, others stayed because they have families to feed.”
