but do you know that whenever you post something funny like this that has no connection whatsoever with politics, you remind white people like me that Black Men are real people with real lives? I live in a very small town and have very limited social contacts. I rarely encounter a person of color, so it is all too easy for me to see them only through the lens of the latest outrage. Thank you so very much for giving me a lot of needed slaps upside the head.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?

This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.

As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.

Tell me more...
