White Couple Who Defaced Black Lives Matter Mural in California Charged With Hate Crime
2020 be like: “Hello, white people. Since I’ve introduced the world to the pandemic that just won’t quit, I have to do some good too.

Because of COVID-19, I Haven't Hugged My Daughter in Months
I haven’t hugged my daughter in months. Before COVID-19 hit (well, impacted the way we live our lives), my family was impacted by health concerns. In what should have been my daughter’s last semester of 5th grade, and before she made the transition to being a middle schooler, her year was cut short over a…

Virginia Schools Are Changing Their Confederate Names Because Honoring Slavery Is No Way to Teach History
White people want to have it both ways. They want so badly for Black people to understand that “the past is the past” and that “slavery is over,” but they also want desperately to cling to every monument and flag that celebrates institutions of oppression.

Employees at a Georgia Jimmy John's Fired After Making a Noose Out of Dough
White people must really like being unemployed. It’s the only way to explain why they keep doing blatantly awful things, which will inevitably lead to them losing their job.

Interracial Family in Raleigh Says They Received Racist Letter From Neighbors [Updated]
Speaking from experience, living in predominantly white neighborhoods can be a mixed bag. On one hand, it’s typically a sign of upward mobility, but on the other hand, having to deal with microaggressions and passive-aggressive racism is fairly common. An interracial family based in Raleigh, N.C. can sadly speak to this truth after they say…

White People Have Weaponized ‘I Feel Threatened’ the Same Way They Have Weaponized the Police
This won’t be long, because I am not going to belabor the point. Much in the same way white people have weaponized the police against Black bodies, they have also adopted the language of those who protect and uplift whiteness and white supremacy—the police. Historically, we’ve seen that the only thing a cop needs to…

A List of Things Longer Than the Confederacy Was
1. The (still growing) gap between Anti and whatever Rihanna decides to release when she’s bored hawking drawers to thirsty Deltas. 2. The not-yet-produced comprehensive oral history of Shaun King’s greatest “investment opportunities.” 3. The (approximate) driving distance between Pittsburgh and Philadelphia. 4. The stretch of time between middle and high school when I was…

A Black Man Says He Was Nearly Lynched by 5 White Men in Indiana, No Arrests Have Been Made
So… Why does there always seem to be so much hesitation to arrest racists who attack Black people and call it vigilante work? It took nearly two months for George Zimmerman to be arrested for the killing of Trayvon Martin (and we all know how that turned out) and it took well over two months…

WNBA Players Will Wear Names of Women Killed at the Hands of Police. NBA Players Will Wear…'Listen'?
The NBA could learn a thing or two from its “little sister,” the WNBA. After both leagues announced their intentions to resume their seasons, one of the highest priorities for players has been the opportunity to continue to address police brutality and racial injustice. It’s become so much of a sticking point that it damn…
