I Don’t Think King Tut’s Mother, Queen Nefertiti, Was Lady Gaga
I just wanna dropkick people in the face way too often these days. The latest reason why is from the reveal of what they think King Tut’s mother, Queen Nefertiti, looked like. It happened on the TODAY Show, and apparently, they used 3D imaging and forensic reconstruction to come up …
Whose Woke Kid Wrote This Journal Entry and Why am I So Proud?

About Mo’Nique, Pay Inequality and Her Asking Us to Boycott Netflix

White Women Need to Get Their Shit Together
Yesterday was the much-anticipated (and dreaded) race for Alabama’s newest senator. One candidate was the run-of-the-mill Democrat. Nothing radical or life-altering about him. Doug Jones is the status quo in human form. And the other was a pedophile who stood boldly in his racist, confederacy values. Roy Moore would have …
