Bitch Anarchy

There is a bridge over the Chickasawhay River in a very small town named Shubuta (population 405 two years ago) in the Southern end of Clarke County where two gruesome, unimaginable crimes took place in 1918 (four victims, six if you include the fetuses) and 1942 (two victims). All of the victims were Black people,…

Since early 2015, there have been 50 Black women killed by 100 police officers in the US. People think that only men are shot (or suffocated) to death by police but they also take the lives of women – and children – as well. In fact, Black women are more likely to be murdered by…

Even though he lost the 2020 election – despite what those conservative auditors in Arizona might want you to think – Trump still reigns supreme over most of America’s Republicans. He is their Grand Dragon, and he revels in it. He bathes in his own supremacy over the GOP. He is The Great Orange Dragon…

What can you do about close family members and friends that are racist as hell and you are dating/married to someone of another color/ethnicity/religion? Should you kick these ignorant people, as much as you love them, to the curb? Should you go NC on them? What can you do? My brother has always dated –…

I read an article or book, can’t recall exactly which, on White supremacy where a pamphlet published by a group in Otto, North Carolina (population 2,800 in 2010, so it was probably less than that in the 1980s) proclaimed: “It’s great to be White!” It sure as hell is. Imagine being able to drive a…

Most people don’t think of the ‘Deep South’, Ku Klux Klan, or extreme racial prejudice when they consider the state of North Carolina. It has always been known as ‘slightly progressive’ among the Southern states, and these days is more ‘pink’ than ‘red’ – but it has a dark history just the same as other…

Is the Angry Black Woman a stereotype (though most stereotypes tend to be true, imo) or fact? I have encountered plenty of Black women with attitudes but I have also witnessed Black men, Hispanics, Asians, Whites, Indians, and Arabs with attitudes as well. I have also encountered a lot of very pleasant Black women, same…

You have probably heard about Nevada passing a law that forbids discriminatory practices for naming mascots, and repealing a daily siren that hearkens back to the days of ‘sundown towns’. “But what is a sundown town?” you ask. Sundown towns, also known as sunset towns, gray towns, or sundowner towns, are all-white municipalities or neighborhoods in the United States that practice…

We all know that old movies and TV shows are often racist (and sexist) to the point of being a caricature, but when that sort of thing is shown in a film or show after 1980, it’s problematic. It wasn’t until the 1990s that White people’s eyes began to notice how pervasive the racism is…

Hollywood has a long history of homophobia, racism, and sexism. I’ve already written a couple of posts about the blatant misogyny that thrives in the entertainment industry. Now it’s time to discuss the rampant racism. I’m not speaking of the Oscars, Golden Globes, and all that stuff even though it is just as important to…
