Just a guy, striving to be a good person and an even better bottom
With the unavoidable amount of coverage of issues around immigration and deportation in the U.S., there’s one prevailing narrative among a portion of Black people. There’s an argument that Black activists, organizers and others in our communities need not put our time and efforts into addressing immigration because “that’s not our issue.”
This is an entirely nonsensical (albeit very much typical) stance for several reasons: [Read more…]
So, as most of you know, the House Republicans just recently showed their ass and passed the American Healthcare Act. At least 97.3% of the likely audience for Angry Black HoeMo can reach a general agreement on how evil and utterly shitty the republican party is, so I can save that rant for another day. You know why we’re here…democrats.
Before democrats & liberals go all in on suckling at their party’s tit behind this AHCA mess, let’s be perfectly clear that the democratic party wanted this to happen. Full-stop. No ifs, ands or buts about it. The very minute that the AHCA passed, note how democratic representatives reacted: [Read more…]
So…I should preface this by establishing that, while this piece is in response to the recent story of Lomi Taryn being ostracized by her base and employer, it is, in NO way, being written in support or defense of Toe-Me Laryngitis. Yes, she was wronged, but my sympathy is reserved for the people who don’t use a platform to sustain white supremacist politics. Not to mention, she’s a mediocre white woman and liberals have been itching to make space for her for months, now. Even if she’s ultimately let go, she’ll be handed another paid opportunity by the end of the week (likely from some liberal and/or white feminist platform).
With that out of that way…
I wanna start by telling a little story from my time living in Central Texas. See, in a past life, I had a dark period where I once dabbled in conservatism—now, keep in mind that it was a reaction to being a former democrat…and again, I was living in Central Texas. I had several white conservatives around me, and they often LIVED for hearing what I had to say. Some were practically ready to throw me a parade when I would go in on Obama.
But one of my “favorite” instances, in particular, was one of these conservative WhiteGayze™ I’d come across in Houston, who’d taken an immediate liking (read: fetish) to me.
Note: After years of subjecting myself to interactions (and inevitably, micro-aggressions and flat-out bigotry) with y’all, I generally aim to not center my writing around white people by actually talking to y’all. This post will be a rare exception.
So, the election has come and (finally) gone, and ‘Murica has decided on our new President-Elect: Donald Trump…still haven’t been able to fully process that fact—I’m actually convinced the universe is just making fun of us, at this point—but here we are. There are a lot of things that can be said about this election, but y’all know why I’m here…main thing to say right now is: white people, this is 100% your fault.
First, let’s acknowledge the fact that Trump swept white voters in every, single category. No matter how you break down demographics, Trump swept virtually every, single facet of whiteness. [Read more…]
Obama’s anti-Black/Brown transgressions, virtually since day 1, have been well-documented, particularly in that he’s expanded the worst aspects the Bush Administration’s foreign policy, which has seen countless Black & Brown deaths, and has only sparked more terrorism in the Middle East and Africa. Granted, many democratic party loyalists (Black ones, especially) will rationalize this by saying Obama’s a figurehead with limited power in all of this (…although, at that point, I’d have to wonder why they’re not calling out Hillary Clinton’s direct involvement in all of those things as former Secretary of State, but I digress).
