Welcome to Race Has Nothing To Do WIth You

Much of my life is consumed by schools, so what I write is directly related to educators, students, advocates, parents, and caring people. But I am human, and I write about what moves me. I write so I can survive the hatred, ignorance, and blatant apathy towards low income people of color. Read on, and if you love or hate what I write, let me know. Peace.

mathematics of sexism

too many black men
blame black women for
white people's racism

how many times must i hear that black women all want men with lots of bling and blang and
poor poor men who just are trying to get by (as if those women aren't)

that's the same argument white people make
in creating welfare queen stereotypes

racism aint people of color's "fault"
and the sole purpose of sexism is to keep men (of all "races") in power.

this shit aint complicated people, but we blur obviousness daily.

Thanks for the insight Chris B...for a moment I thought I was talking to myself.....I'll never forget visiting the blog of a supposed conscious, enlightened, entrepreneurial brotha who revealed that the drag queen convention was in atlanta and that some of those men actually look like women but he had to tell one of the drag queens, 'I know you ain't a real sista, cuz sistas don't be acknowledging positive brothas like me on the street' ' Now do I really need to go any further
