So glad to see your work celebrated and shared!

This is goddamn beautiful. Thank you.

Okay, but I want to get Michael Harriot’s take on the other Jesus musical of 1971:

I unfortunately went to school with this douche.

Smacked the fuck out of him in class one day for saying stupid shit.

I see he hasn’t changed much.

Tom Clingo, class of 2004 Clay High School. Oregon, Ohio.

His wife is also a Kroger employee.

Listen... actually, I dunno what to say. Huge smile on my face at the earnestness in his voice as he asked if he got the names right.

Why do white people never intercede and try to break this kind of stuff up. They stand along side and provide support for abusive POS racists or simply stand back and watch.

All I could think of during the video is “why isn’t someone stomping a mudhole in that rednecks ass?”

Not condoning shoplifting but it’s hard to believe the folks didn’t give this long, tall redneck a beating until he got off the child. What store handles possibly petty theft this way?

Obviously he has some kind of network which makes it possible for him to be at the center of these tragedies, but where is the success in terms of justice? Seems his agenda is mostly on the financial end of things instead of making the pigs suffer in jail etc. At this point Crump’s presence in these cases only adds to…

I was waiting for you at the door.

I was just thinking that. At what point does his resume of failed attempts to get justice actually serve as a negative?

Can someone send her a list of all of the insane‘remedies ‘that people used back in slavery times? Because they also didn’t know that bad sanitation had a clear link to infectious disease. They used opium, morphine, and leeches to ‘cure’ stuff. They amputated limbs willy nilly. Turpentine was used to induce…

She was thinking of “turpentime.”

Wow. That had my heart pounding up until the end. You painted a very vivid picture with your words. Thank you for sharing.

Damn; I was hoping for a happy ending. So many hits to the self worth; eventually you can’t shake them off anymore. There’s so much here I can identify with. I want to believe, I really do, that, like Janice if you do the right thing, perfect your craft and work hard eventually you’ll be rewarded; unfortunately life…

Up in Canada they were used as cheap labour to build the Rideau Canal. Many died of malaria and other diseases and they were buried right where they died. There is a famous hostel in Ottawa that used to be a jail and before that it housed immigrants (mostly Irish) who became infected with TB and other diseases. In…

The Klan burned crosses in front of Irish Catholic churches and homes. We were not allowed to bury our dead within the city limits — even Chicago - the oldest Catholic cemeteries are outside the city limits. We built Catholic schools because we weren’t allowed in the public schools. We arrived on coffin ships due to…

Great article as always.

I really need to give your news outlet more credit. I sometimes ignore your articles as fabrication and bias reporting. As an African American man, i need to have fact-based news that is not going to have me saying something untrue in today’s society. Thank-you for this article
