Ever since the film Dear White People was announced, many of the white folks addressed in the title were mad that it was even a thing. The trite, "What if there was a Dear Black People?" question swirled around social media like a horrid funk. That same salty energy continued when Netflix picked up the title and adapted it into a TV series. And, it continues to this day, as Twitter user @C_GraceT pointed out on May 11 after posting a screenshot of a review from a customer who frequented her friend's restaurant, Sissy's Cafe. While the customer liked the food and service, he wasn't too keen about the employees' personal conversations.This is a real review of my friend's restaurant, I am...W O W pic.twitter.com/c2FR0soC0f— A Queer Mermaid (@C_GraceT) May 11, 2018The reviewer, Michael, wrote that everything was going well until he began eavesdropping on a conversation of a black employee, who was discussing the show Dear White People."Now, I have no idea what the show is about, but I can only surmise that it is a liberal leftist attempt to portray white people and every single thing they do is racist," Michael wrote. "As soon as they started their conversation I immediately tuned them out and ignored them because it boiled my blood instantly. Now the double standard here is that if I was talking to another white male about a show called dear black people, I feel confident that there would have been a conflict." Cut to Tuesday, May 22 when Dear White People itself posted a review of Michael's review. The entire show is based on calling out white folks' transgressions, so it was very on brand. The show's Twitter account dropped the mic, rating Michael's review based on "Wokeness," "Saltiness" and "General Ignorance."Here's our review of their review. pic.twitter.com/aYB7srdKbL— Dear White People (@DearWhitePeople) May 22, 2018"There's so much salt here that your review could be used as a condiment ... and you still haven't seen an episode. Maybe listening to the aforementioned conversation would've lowered your sodium intake. Then again, maybe not," the popular Netflix show's account tweeted.DWP's recommendation for Michael?"If you want a safe space, download the chrome extension: "Dear All People." If you want to learn about shade, cultural appropriation, good television, and everything in-between. Watch Dear White People Vol. 1 and 2. You might learn something."...
Kendrick Lamar recently had to check a white fan after she got onstage and performed his song, failing to censor the word "n*gga" ... multiple times. Following that incident, Oregon rapper Aminé's NPR Tiny Desk Concert resurfaced because, well, words he said during it are apt. From now on, I need all rappers to CHECK their crowds like @heyamine did here. pic.twitter.com/NHjwFN38PH— THE HOOD ORACLE (@MADBLACKTHOT) May 22, 2018EVERYTIME pic.twitter.com/ZGBL5IjCdl— THE HOOD ORACLE (@MADBLACKTHOT) May 22, 2018Dassit!
In the 2017 concert, Aminé did a mashup of his hit singles "Spice Girl" and "Caroline." "Caroline" is rife with the N-word, but in this particular performance, he remixed the line "Killa, Westside n*gga" line with "Killa, if you ain't black, don't say it!" The video has racked up almost 1.5 million views on YouTube. On Twitter, users agreed that it's about time more rappers follow suit with similar disclaimers. Aminé's line put it plainly, and it goes for all non-black people. I swear white people go to rap shows JUST to use the N word and it drives me nuts that I don’t have more hands to throw pic.twitter.com/prcocfPuKz— Isaiah João (@WavyZay00) May 22, 2018non black*— m ♡ (@diegostrikru) May 22, 2018

Coffeehouse chain Starbucks announced it would allow folks to chill in its stores without buying anything, and some customers are unhappy about the news.Starbucks released a statement on Saturday, May 19, announcing its “Third Place Policy,” which allows people to occupy space in the stores and use the restroom without buying anything. The policy was put in place after the fallout from the April arrest of two black men in one of the chain's Philadelphia locations.“We want our stores to be the third place, a warm and welcoming environment where customers can gather and connect,” the statement reads. “Any customer is welcome to use Starbucks spaces, including our restrooms, cafes and patios, regardless of whether they make a purchase.”Social media has been awash with employees and customers complaining about the new policy.Users in a Starbucks subreddit complained about homeless people and loiters.“This really is a blanket PR driven policy change, it's really hard to believe they didn't think it would have a negative impact,” wrote a subreddit user. “Depending on your [area's] demographic, a store essentially turns into a homeless shelter as now partners are too afraid to step up and maintain the third place atmosphere.”Another described the conditions of bathrooms, a common grievance expressed in the forum.“I hate it. I work in the loop in Chicago. We haven’t been allowed to change our bathroom codes since April,” they wrote. “So almost all the junkies and homeless people know the code now. About once a week we find needles, drug baggies, blood all over the toilet or walls. I’m so tired of actual customers complaining about the conditions of the bathrooms. We keep telling them we can’t do anything about it until biohazard comes which seems to be taking longer and longer these days. All the partners at my store try to avoid even going to the bathroom unless they can’t hold it anymore haha.”Meanwhile, Twitter users are accusing Starbucks of catering to political correctness.This is what happens when you let political correctness trump common sense...— Earl Johnson (@earljohnson) May 22, 2018Agree...it's sick how we are bending backwards for a certain group and not other's!— Clinton Rusthoven (@clintsessentia1) May 22, 2018Why stop there...anyone walks in gets a free cup of coffee.

New York seems to be the next state to watch in the saga of marijuana legalization. In April, New York gubernatorial candidate Cynthia Nixon directly expressed her support for an end to prohibition, specifically noting the justice system's discrimination against people of color. Now New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio is speaking out, as well, specifically addressing the New York Police Department itself. CNN reports Mayor de Blasio instructed the NYPD to stop arresting people using weed in public over the weekend.The legalization of marijuana in New York State is likely inevitable. Our city has to get rules in place before this happens and be prepared for the public safety, public health and financial impact. pic.twitter.com/5y40VlYhjG— Bill de Blasio (@NYCMayor) May 22, 2018Mayor de Blasio's instruction won't go into effect immediately, but it is expected to heavily influence an internal department review of its current marijuana enforcement policies, The Guardian reports. “The working group is reviewing possession and public smoking of marijuana to ensure enforcement is consistent with the values of fairness and trust, while also promoting public safety and addressing community concerns,” Phil Walzak, the NYPD's deputy commissioner of public information, told CNN.“The dual mission of the Manhattan D.A.’s Office is a safer New York and a more equal justice system,” Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance stated in a press release according to the Huffington Post. Vance's office has vowed to stop prosecuting pot possession and smoking cases. “The ongoing arrest and criminal prosecution of predominantly black and brown New Yorkers for smoking marijuana serves neither of these goals.”Brooklyn District Attorney Eric Gonzalez joined Vance and vowed to reduce prosecutions as well.Politico reports approximately 17,880 people were arrested in NYC last year for low-level pot possession, and 86 percent of those arrested were people of color. A New York Times report recently confirmed black New Yorkers were arrested eight times as often as white New Yorkers on low-level charges in the past three...
A new report published Monday, May 21, in the JAMA Pediatrics journal shows that suicide rates for black children are two times higher than that of their white counterparts.The data collected from 2001-2015 by researchers look at the suicide rates of black children between 5 and 12 years old and suggests black children commit suicide at a higher rate. During that period, 1,300 children took their own lives per a CDC report.According to The Washington Post, the report confirms a pattern identified by researchers at Nationwide Children's Hospital in Ohio several years prior. Jeffrey Bridge, lead author and an epidemiologist who directs the Center for Suicide Prevention and Research at the Columbus hospital said, “We can’t assume any longer that suicide rates are uniformly higher in white individuals than black. There is this age-related disparity, and now we have to understand the underlying reasons. … Most of the previous research has largely concerned white suicide. So we don’t even know if the same risk and protective factors apply to black youth.”Even with the new data, researchers are demanding more studies into the causes of young suicides. Bridge calls for a closer look at racial disparities because, typically, suicide is not high among young children. The report bucks a common trend regarding suicide. Among white teens 13 to 17 years old, suicide rates are still 50 percent higher than that of black teens.One of the weaknesses of the report is that there is no cultural context for why black children are taking their lives at higher rates.Bridge and his co-authors discovered that children who commit suicide between ages 5 to 11, and young adolescents, ages 12 to 14, were usually male. The report states many dealt with stressful relationships at home and at school. Those who had a mental health issue prior to the suicide were likely diagnosed with attention-deficit disorder or attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder.Psychiatrist Samoon Ahmad offered some ideas to curb the issue. He believes that there should be a commitment to communication. “To me, the 5-12 range is more related to developmental issues and the possible lack of a family network, social network and cultural activities,” Ahmad, a clinical associate professor at the New York University School of Medicine who was not involved in the research, said. “And with the introduction of social media, there is more isolation with children, not as much neighborhood play. Kids are more socially in their own vacuum.”“No one talks about that with them. We tend to put them in silos, and don’t discuss these things because we think it’s too traumatic,” he added. “Instead, there must be a slow and steady flow of...
"Can I see your I.D.?"I roll my eyes internally, and sometimes outwardly, when asked that question."I am 25 going on 26, can't you tell!"But this post isn't about how young looking I am on the outside, and how young acting I can be on the inside. It's about the important lessons I've learned in my early 20s, many I am still working on as I head toward my late 20s.Here are 20 important lessons I’ve learned in my early 20s:1. Some lessons are bigger than a person or the people involved. Give yourself time to heal from what makes us all human, but remember, the Universe/God uses people and situations to guide you. It is not right to hate or hold on to interpersonal anger. It is also not wrong to distance yourself from points of stress. But, let go of hate and let go of anger, and work to understand things outside of bodily experiences.2. Keep your childhood and/or college friends, they are love and moments you will never forget, but don't be afraid to form one or two quality adult friendships with people who share your value/moral scale and who make you a priority. 3. Live honestly. Tell yourself the truth and be earnest with the people you encounter in this life.4. You will make mistakes, maybe even some big ones. Forgive yourself. The people around you will make mistakes, maybe even some big ones. Forgive them. Secondly, pay attention to how people in your life react and treat you when you do make mistakes. From there, decide how to proceed with them. There are people out there who will want to use your mistakes to write a negative narrative. There are people out there who will not forgive your mistakes. There are people out there who may never want to forgive you. Learn to be OK with that. Life is so much more than the mistakes we make, and that old saying about learning from them applies. 5. Set professional boundaries for yourself and don't let anyone guilt you for it. At this stage in life, you are probably working to fulfill someone else's dreams; you have dreams too — learn to leave work at work; log off your work email when you're home; come up with a way to decompress before you get home; demand better pay; speak up for yourself when you're treated like shit; bring down the patriarchy and white feminism!! — sorry, got carried away. Anyway, I'm not trying to get anyone fired out here, so do this responsibly.6. Therapy! Growing up in a Haitian household, I learned that no one deserves to know my family's business. As much as I think discretion has a place, it's not to be used when sitting on someone's couch who you are paying to help you heal. Therapy can be expensive, and depending on your health plan, it might not be feasible. In that case, find someone who you trust to be honest with you to speak with on a regular basis. Maybe it's your favorite aunt who you call on the drive home from work. Maybe it's your mama. Maybe it's boyfriend number two who knows how to drop that philosophical knowledge.7. Know thyself (Delphi Ruins). I'll share a short anecdote for this one. Someone once told me that I have no concept of privacy. It was a way for them to bully me in a conversation where that statement was unnecessary, but I wasn't hurt because I know myself. I hold very few things private, purposely. The things I keep private usually have to do with other people's business, but I generally feel comfortable openly sharing of myself. If I had not known myself enough to be comfortable with that truth, it could have made an already painful week in my life even more painful, but it did not because I know myself, and that is a part of myself that I am comfortable with. In knowing yourself, it is important to accept that not everyone will love all aspects of who you are. That's OK. 8. Choose love over loyalty. I learned this early in my 20s, and it's an easier lesson for me, because I am a natural critic. You will learn that human beings crave allegiance. We want loyalty, but loyalty can be dangerous. Hold close people who aren't here to blindly support you, but will be honest with you because they love you. Hold close people who will disagree with you, but lovingly. Hold close people who know your faults, but who will not belittle you.9. Educate yourself. You don't know everything — no one does — so remain open to learning. I'm not only talking about classroom learning.10. Have a financial plan. My cat is sitting on her perch laughing at me as I write this rule because she sees me stressing about finances at least twice a month when I do a version of budgeting that ain't really budgeting. In all seriousness, this lesson is my greatest challenge, but I am doing number 9 to help me get to a place where I have a solid financial plan.11. Learn a few legal things. Not every contract or agreement put in front of you is legit. Know the difference, and if you don't, rely on friends who do to help guide you.12. Don't settle for sub-par sex. Sex should be like eating ice cream. There are so many flavors, colors, tastes, cone sizes, textures — ice cream purists, don't debate me on this. I like my ice cream melting soft. It's a thing. This lesson is especially important for women because sex positivity is not encouraged in our culture. Anyway, you don't have to settle for a lame who don't know how to get in the mane. And a secondary lesson, it doesn't matter if the sex is heavenly if they treat you like crap. You are a freakin' gawd! Don't be out here with sub-humans who don't know how to return texts or calls. Thirdly, don't be a crazy person and out here sending six paragraph text messages cuz the ice cream put you in coma. You gon' be alright!13. Some people are assholes; you don't have to be an asshole, so don't be an asshole. And if you ever are an asshole, own it and apologize. 14. You might not save the world, but you can change it. This TED talk says it all. (You better come back and finish reading this whole dag-on post!)15. Failing does not make you a failure, it makes you a scientist! Not exactly, but failing is not the end. When you fail, you learn. Remember that time when the hip-pop, rapping group Girls Time didn't win that boring ass show? 25 or so years later, we got Beychella. I use this analogy because it's important to Beyoncé between the failures. Yes, I used Beyonce as a verb! Don't sit here and gloat when you fail, figure out what led to the failure and determine how you can be better then repeat as many times necessary.16. Learn to be silent. I talk a lot so this is especially for the talkers: learn to be silent. You might not be right about everything you think you are right about, so be silent and observe every once in awhile. Of course, don't use this lesson at the expense of using your voice or if it makes you feel small to be silent.17. Be. Be you,the truest version of youFilters are meant for Instagram,not the sound of your beautiful heartbeatYou are a marching band,when your feet hit the ground pavement wavesFind your rhythm,through the smiles and tears there's a truthIt is you.18. Support your friends and colleagues. It's great to love Beyoncé and attend every single show, but it's also great to support your friend with the budding poetry, art, music, interior design or travel career.19. Take care of your health. Diabetes and high cholesterol run in my family, so I am taking better care of my health. As much as I would love to look like Teyana Taylor, I'm cool with my extra booty and stretch marks, as long as I am living a healthier life. Start small. Don't overwhelm yourself. For me, this meant picking up an informational booklet on diabetes and cooking foods that combat the onset. It also means walking or jogging a couple times a week and doing weird little blood flow exercises in my apartment. I use to be so hardcore with my insanity and extreme fitness exercises, so I constantly need to remind myself to not set crazy expectations because it's discouraging for me. Refer to number 7: know yourself enough to know what works for you.20. Be love, be peace, be whatever the heck you want to be!Celebrate my birthday with me by reading my books, 'loudmouth' and 'Close Your Eyes, Now...
In my 27 years of life I have never been more sure and certain of the things that surround me. It is almost as if I have been bitten by the bug of opportunity and all things in my scope are crystal clear. Everything from my love life to my career path is up for discussion, and I am OK with that. As a child we are taught that in order to be truly successful we must have a perfect and clear plan, laid out in detail by the time we are in high school. But for most, that is not the case.I am what some would call a jack of all trades, but a master of none. I'm the type that can do a little bit of everything, but can't seem to focus on the one thing that would cause my world to be shook! Is it possible to just be that good at everything you touch? I feel like my black girl magic gives me an infinite amount of powers with different levels of versatility. In my eyes, I see it as a super power, but according to society, I am unstable in all my ways. This is what baffles me. Since when did it become a mandate that all of your ducks had to be in a row by the time you are 30 years old? Show me! I want to see it; I need to see. Thus far in my 20s, I have learned what I like, who I like and what I will sacrifice to be all I know I can be. Do I know exactly what I want to be as of yet? No! But I have narrowed it down to a few choices:AuthorScreenwriterActressDirectorExecutiveThese are my top five choices, and I know what you are probably thinking, they are all in the same field, so I clearly know what I want to do. But the fact is while they do coincide with one another, they each have different paths that take a certain amount of dedication and focus, and being the Aries that I am, my focus tends to be easily swayed.I have slowly, but surely, been achieving one goal at a time without even realizing it. In 2015 I became a self-published author and wrote and directed my first play. I have been acting since the age of five years old with recommendations longer than my work resume. I have coached and trained some of the brightest minds that the world has yet to witness and I have traveled to places that most only dream of visiting. As a child, I never stayed at school longer than a year because of my father's occupation, and that made me one of the best communicators and orators out there. Because of that, I received several awards for it in college. I am a fast learner and I love seeking knowledge and knowing the most out of this world facts about life, both past and present. I am a nerd in every shape, form and fashion, and I refuse to have it any other way.I know that in exactly 38 days I will be 28 years old and only two years away from 30. No, I don't have a home, a big corporate gig or a family of my own. I am vegan on the weekends and I try my best during the week. When I feel fat I am a fitness expert, and other days I just want to be free. That's me. It is the outline of discoveries made in my teens and mistakes achieved in my 20s. It's the cram sessions that lead to my Starbucks addiction and my insomnia.If ever asked what am I good at, the answer is everything, as long as I have a good teacher. If ever asked what have I mastered, the answer is nothing, because without room for knowledge, I would have no reason to exist. So this is for colored girls who are jacks of all trades but masters of none. Keep your head high and shoulders back, because you are one of a...

The 33-year-old asserted that failure is different for the face of a show than it would be for that of a writer or director.“The failure is yours,” Rae said. “It is yoursss-uh.”When the interviewer asked her if she was still scared of failure since she’s successful, Rae seemed surprised that someone considered Insecure successful.“That could go to s**t,” Rae said. “This could be the worst season we've ever had. And then what? Then people are all of a sudden like, ‘Oh, okay.’ Then the calls stop. It's like stand-up comedy: In order to eventually succeed, you have to bomb. That's what every comedian says—that's when the fear goes away. And I feel like I'm still fearful because I haven't publicly bombed yet, in terms of my career. Yeah, Insecure is successful now, but where's my bomb coming? Where are my Will Smith bombs coming? Where, where is that happening?”The writer tried to comfort her, but Issa responded with a quote that could have been in one of her scripts.“He went through a period when he was depressed, when three or four of his movies in a row weren't number one at the box office. So for him that was terrible,” she countered. “And now he's talking about, ‘You gotta fail, you gotta fail.’ And I don't want to make Instagram speeches about failing. I don't.”We feel you,...
Almost a year after the Unite the Right rally descended upon Charlottesville, Virginia, the city will hire the first black woman to serve as police chief. RaShall M. Brackney, Ph.D. will become Charlottesville's first black woman police chief. She's set to take office on June 18, reports The Daily Progress. The Charlottesville City Council approved a measure put forth by City Manager Maurice Jones recommending Brackney's hiring. She will continue the legacy started by first black chief Al Thomas who was in charge during last year's August 12 Unite the Right rally in Emancipation Park.Thomas announced his retirement in December following scrutiny for his "slow-footed" response to the violence stemming from a large number of white nationalist groups and Antifa counter protesters. That violence hit its peak when 32-year-old Heather Heyer was killed by terrorist James Alex Fields Jr. when he drove his sports car into a crowd of counter protesters. "It's sad and I hope that no one loses the irony of the fact that a black man is being forced out of office because of a white supremacist rally. And for him to be the only one being made to fall on the sword, it's sickening. It's just not proper," activist Don Gathers told NBC 29 last year.Thomas served as the city's top police officer for two years but worked in law enforcement for 27 years. He left behind a tough job for Brackney. She told residents Monday, May 21, she will rebuild residents' trust in the police by serving and listening to people's concerns. “I know Charlottesville has undergone a lot of trauma and turmoil, particularly in the last year. Know that I’m not here to add to your burden at all,” Brackney told the crowd at the start of Monday’s council meeting. #Cville City Council has approved RaShall M.

The woman who stood up to a white woman who called police on two black men grilling at Lake Merritt Park in Oakland, California, has spoken out about the incident for the first time. Michelle Snider posted a YouTube video detailing the moments leading to her nearly 20-minute encounter with the woman whose been nicknamed BBQ Becky. In the now-viral video, Snider followed the unidentified woman after her 911 call.On April 29, Snider recorded the woman as she tried to disrupt a barbecue. She claimed the two men were not allowed to use a charcoal grill in a specific region of the park.Snider was in the park with her husband that Sunday and felt obligated to step in on the men's behalf. Police came and no citations were given, but BBQ Becky has become infamous for being one of many white people to call police on black people during mundane activities.Weeks following the video's release, memes, protest barbecues, Saturday Night Live sketches and a hunt for BBQ Becky's real identity, which has yet to be confirmed, have occurred. Snider revealed in her latest video posted May 20 that during the confrontation the woman took Snider husband’s business card, which showed he worked as fire-safety expert. She feared that the woman would try to get her husband fired. A very concerned Snider, who could be heard repeatedly asking for the woman to return the card, said it was never returned. “No, I did not get the card back,” Snider said in the video.She said she captured that video to call out a systematic issue she's noticed in Oakland for a while. “I hear the other stories where people try to target black people in Oakland. ... It’s seems like there’s a call to arms to try to get people arrested,” she said."If I hadn't done that, I don't know what would have happened to them," Snider added.Her newfound fame hasn't come without problems, though. Snider said she has been trolled online, her home address has become public and someone has dug through her trash. But she is constantly reminded that she did the right thing and will not break to pressure. Her full story is...
