myblackfriendsays.com: Follow-Up Fridays
http://www.myblackfriendsays.com/2011/04/follow-up-fridays.html
Friday, April 22, 2011. So, I am attempting to write this post before my son. Wakes up from his nap. Let's see if I can do it. I also have noticed that I start a lot of my posts with "So,". Sometimes I delete them and sometimes I don't. Just writing that because I was thinking it, and wondering if you've ever noticed it too. Anyhoo, today's follow up friday comment comes from Rebecca. Rebecca commented on my last post. About the use of the word ethnic and said:. Do I even make any sense? I think I will b...

http://www.myblackfriendsays.com/2012/02/nightcaller.html
Monday, February 13, 2012. Hi, people. I can't sleep. And you know what they say, "It's better to get out of bed and be productive, than stay in bed doing nothing.". And by "they," I mean me. One of my Facebook. Friends posted this video on her wall. I really liked it, so I thought I'd post it here. Even though it's Monday, it's not a song. It's a spoken word piece called Duality Duel. But the reality is that none of us have pretty little lives. There is a lot of suffering in the world, and we have a...

Monday, December 23, 2013. Music Mondays, and why hearing Black is Beautiful. This song is for all of my black girls (and women). If you want to read the lyrics, you can click here. Originally, I was just going to leave it that. But then I remembered this post. Where I learned that it's important to explain to avoid ambiguity. And if you don't learn from your life experiences and change your behavior accordingly, what the heck are you doing with yourself? Okay, moving on. Called An Ode to Black Women.

Wednesday, April 15, 2009. Yup, it's Thursday, but we've been over this: my blog, my rules. (ETA: Oops, it's actually Wednesday. This is what happens when you don't have a job- you forget what day it is.). First things first. Marshall, it ain't happenin' today, buddy. I've got a lot of comments to get to, I have a feeling this is going to be a long one. First from Papa and Meme on my post about my experience with my acquaintence Carrie. Promote education and hard work over welfare. (Surely you know h...

myblackfriendsays.com: Word.
http://www.myblackfriendsays.com/2009/04/word.html
Tuesday, April 07, 2009. So, I made up a new word. I made it up because there is a concept that currently isn't being captured by any word in the English language. Kind of like shadenfreude. I've made up a couple of other words in the past. Like, I say dangernoose instead of dangerous- for no other reason than I think it's funny. Most of my made-up words have something to do with the best cartoon ever, Squidbillies. The definition of racish is as follows:. I thought it would (:. Second, go here. What oth...

myblackfriendsays.com: Music Monday
http://www.myblackfriendsays.com/2010/01/music-monday.html
Monday, January 04, 2010. So, originally I thought this was the first time that I was going to do a Music Monday. With a song from a white artist. But then when I clicked on the tag, I realized that no, this time. Was the first time. This week's selection is Mother, Mother. The link to the video is below, and if you want to follow along with the lyrics you can do so here. You might be wondering.What does this song have to do with race and inequality in America? Or, maybe you're not. You know what to do.

myblackfriendsays.com: How to stop being racist (for reals this time.)
http://www.myblackfriendsays.com/2013/01/how-to-stop-being-racist-for-reals-this.html
Thursday, January 03, 2013. How to stop being racist (for reals this time.). Awhile back, I wrote this post. Well, wouldn't you know it- ever since I wrote that post, I have noticed in my traffic statistics that people are happening on this blog by typing into google How to stop being racist. Oh, and I'm sure there will be some overlap with things I've written on this blog previously. That is what happens when you have a blog for 6 years and keep all the posts focused on a limited number of topics. So yo...

myblackfriendsays.com: To protect and serve. Or just shoot a bunch of times--I forget which one.
http://www.myblackfriendsays.com/2013/09/to-protect-and-serve-or-just-shoot.html
Wednesday, September 18, 2013. To protect and serve. Or just shoot a bunch of times- I forget which one. Another day, another unarmed black man shot by the police. I know that's not the reality, but that is certainly how it feels sometimes. I'm sure you can excuse my cynicism. If you don't know what I am talking about, please click here. They've got a comprehensive summary of the events. As I've said before. Maybe because if they admit it, they will get the devil's spawn label of racist. So, just like po...
