For Black History Month, Someone Thought Harriet Tubman on a Debit Card Throwing Up the 'Wakanda Forever' Salute was Clever
You know… maybe we should all just go back to celebrating Black History Month by — oh, I don’t know — teaching black history.

#BlackGirlMagic in Sports as the Washington Redskins are Set to Make NFL History With First Black Woman on Coaching Staff
I must say, I’m at least slightly conflicted about this one. On one hand the Washington Redskins still have yet to change their name despite the terms’ sordid history and that studies have shown that more than half of Native Americans find it offensive. On the other hand, I just absolutely love seeing black women…

In True White Savior Fashion, Trump Announces Scholarship to Save Black Student From 'Failing Government Schools', Only She Already Goes to a Great Charter School
It should be clear to most everybody by now that President Donald Trump has a great affinity for showing America just how popular he is among “the blacks.” This is simply to say that the man loves parading black faces around on political stages as a way of saying, “Look, Black America, look how I’m…

A White Nationalist Group Marches Through Washington and, Surprising to Nobody Black, Everyone Seems Perfectly Fine With It
America is white nationalism. Now just hear me out, because I know some of you are ready to call me hyperbolic (while the rest of you are side-eyeing me and thinking, “no shit, bro. How wet is the water where you live?”), but there’s got to be a reason that, even in 2020, American officials…

Light One Up for Progress: Boston Opens Its First Recreational Cannabis Shop and It's Black Owned
As more and more states legalize the recreational use of marijuana, there exists a bit of conflict within the black community. On one hand, it’s good to know that partaking of the sticky-icky will no longer result in us being locked up and trapped in the probation racket. On the other hand, knowing how many…

Like the Good Ol' Boy He Is, Ben Carson Wants You All to Know That Donald Trump Is 'Not a Racist'
Every black person with good sense can see that President Donald Trump likes to surround himself with conservative black people so he can point in any random direction and exclaim, from the book of wypipo proverbs: “How can I be racist?

The Trump administration announced Friday that it is adding six new countries to the existing travel ban, joining the seven already on the list.

More Georgia Racism: Snellville Business Owners Find 'No More N***er Businesses' Letters Pinned to Their Stores
I live in Stone Mountain, Ga., about a 20-minute drive out from Snellville, Ga., which is the scene of today’s episode of “Damn, That’s Racist.” According to CBS 46, several businesses in Snellville—where my black brother and his black wife, daughter and son currently reside—recently received letters from an anonymous, but likely white person who…

Sexual Assault, Financial Misconduct and Lawsuits, Oh My: Law Firm Representing Giuliani Has Legal Problems of Its Own
Is it just me or are Republicans finding it impossible not to align themselves with corrupt associates? I mean, we have a current president who has played cabinet musical chairs more than any other recent administration, much of which is due to scandal, indictment and criminal conviction; a president who, himself, can’t seem to enjoy…
