Halfway through this Therapy for Black Girls episode and Jemele Hill made an excellent point re: criticism and respect. Go listen!

1) Ain’t no way Doocy wanted to say “southern accent.” 2) Again this entire conversation around VP Harris’ dialect is rooted in how little *some* white folks know about Black people. 3) This is shitty journalism.

The shooting of an NFL player in San Francisco has quickly become politicized. Jemele Hill came on TMZ Live to talk about if this is how we should be reacting to the shooting.

I ain’t explaining shit. Learn on your own. By the way, this isn’t an accent change.

YouTube has got to be loving this.

HUGE accomplishment. This team started 1-8 and while I did think CC/her team would get better, I must admit I thought they might be doomed by such a poor start, re: the playoffs. With the way they’re playing, I wouldn’t want to see this team in the playoffs.

He wanna be Calvin Candie so bad.

His candidate:

Those same people who were ripping the city of San Francisco as it relates to the Ricky Pearsall shooting will suddenly have nothing to say now, because they can’t blame it on a Democratic city.

Again … he wasn’t the presidential candidate who was considered unfit to run.

But these MAGA cult members spend all day questioning VP Harris’ intelligence and calling her unqualified. The difference could not be more clear.

So every year we just have to go through this thing where some white people get ridiculously angry upon discovering 1) that a Black national anthem exists 2) that the NFL has been playing it for years at the start of the season.

Got a crazy idea … why don’t you try reading why Lift Ev’ry Voice and Sing exists and then report back. You have 24 hours to respond.

To be honest, all it does is highlight the lack of curiosity about us, in general. For Black people to navigate this world, we have to know about white people. They, however, never have to actually know anything about us or how our history is truly American history.

I don’t even know what to do with someone whose position is, I’ll be more curious about the citizens around me if you placate my ego and fragility. You are not a serious person. Cause I don’t need native Americans or other cultures to reassure me to actually want to learn about

The only people who use MLK’s speech in this way are people who didn’t actually read his speech, or frankly don’t know much about him beyond a few phrases. Because MLK was VERY specific as to who he was talking about in his “I Have A Dream”‘speech.
