This blog is a joint project between Micky Alexandria and myself. Here we intend to consolidate the posts we make regarding race, religion, politics, gender identity, sexual orientation, and other topics considered not fit for the dinner table or unsafe to discuss with the in-laws. Some posts will be new, others will be ones we have already posted on our respective blogs. You’re welcome to join in on the discussion. We welcome asks and submissions, as long as the content is well-written. We hope you enjoy our commentary and the conversation that hopefully results.

Who are we? We’re both African Americans in our early twenties who find ourselves not represented in mainstream American and African American dialogue. I major in Government and History, while Micky intends to focus on Film Studies and Women’s Studies. We’re good friends who agree on many things, but our opinions do differ, sometimes greatly, as do our approaches. Still, one thing remains constant: we are both very passionate about these issues. Thanks for sharing your time with us.
