Poll Shows More Black People Are Willing to Get a COVID-19 Vaccination. Will You Get Yours?
I’m not an anti-vaxxer. In fact, I truly believe that most anti-vaxxers are pseudointellectual faux-spriracy theorists whose “research” ends at whichever YouTube doctor is saying the thing they’ve already decided was true before receiving any real info at all. That being said, I understand Black anti-vaxxers. From the infamous Tuskegee syphilis experiments to the story…

Apparently, White People Are Planning 'White Lives Matter' Rallies Across the Nation on April 11. I May Have a Short List of Activity Ideas
Apparently, Sunday, April 11, is the day white people across the country have set aside for white fragility rallies where the melanin-have-nots will gather and lament the difficulties faced by the white race in America while eating unseasoned green bean casserole and discussing how the “trickle-down effect” refers to why the washing of legs in…

Kansas Senator Reportedly Leads Cop in Car Chase, Drives Drunk on Wrong Side of the Highway, Calls Cop 'Donut Boy,' Doesn't Get Treated Like a Negro
Do I even need to say it? Surely, what is known doesn’t need to be put in words—but you want me to say it, don’t you? Fine, I’ll say it: There are two Americas. Just last week, I addressed the issue of police officers thinking that being led in a car chase justifies them beating…
