Bitch Anarchy

The term Eurocentrism describes a worldview, mindset, or rhetorical orientation that centers European, or White, ways of knowing as sole, central, or superior to all others. It is sometimes conscious and other times quite unconscious, revealed only when other ways of being, knowing, or doing come in contact with it and highlight its presence. It…

It isn’t just White people who suffer from anti-Blackness, but the rest of the world’s peoples – including Black people – do as well. I believe that all people have biases, only most people refuse to admit it (though I confess to my biases). Unfortunately, it seems that those of us who call ourselves Black…

Decades ago, there was a time when Black Americans flocked to Europe (and even Africa) in search of a better life, one that was free of racial discrimination, Jim Crow, second-class status, and lynchings. Chester Himes, James Baldwin, Josephine Baker, to name just a few, fled the misery of life in the United States for…

As I have written before, many White women support the White male patriarchy and White supremacy – it has been that way since the time of the ‘cave people’ and undoubtedly will always be an inescapable truth. It does not matter that women are relegated to a second class status among the far-right & conservative…

The United States can be a dangerous country and while this generally is only true of certain demographics, anyone can become the victim of a crime. There are metros in this country where crime rates have become nearly uncontrollable, proof that we should not ‘defund’ the police but rather, ‘retrain’ and ‘demilitarize’ them. Many of…

I’m going to enrage/disappoint/stun a great many people by confessing this, but Joe Biden was not my first, second, or even third choice for US president. Caught between a rock – Trump – and a hard place- Biden – I had to choose the lesser of the two evils, and that happened to be Joe…

Conservatives – that group of weirdly anti-everything interesting & diverse & enlightening people, otherwise known as Republicans (and often Libertarians too) – are crazily banning books in red as fire states (located mostly in the South and Midwest of course) where the people think they’re better than others due to being such ‘God-fearing Christians’. Some…

Police officers are a bunch of White supremacists and redneck racists – and it’s not just a few of them, it is most of them. I have had my own dealings with those foul beasts that have colored my feelings towards them, and reading about police murders of unarmed civilians, most of them from the…

Just like other ethnic groups, Arabs & Muslims (there are Christian and even atheist Arabs) in Hollywood have been depicted by the grossest of stereotypes, particularly as terrorists and sexual creatures Bellydancing or sitting pretty in some oil sheik’s 50 concubine harem. I will admit to having prejudiced thoughts & beliefs towards these people myself,…

Hispanics – Latinos, Latinas, Chicanos, whatever term they prefer – have been maligned in the films & TV shows of Hollywood and beyond just as much as Asians, Blacks, and Native Americans have been. Stereotypes abound – greasy gangbangers, fiery hot temptresses, poor, angry, with strong accents or speaking broken English – it’s very disheartening…
