I guess I should be grateful I wasn’t hung on a tree today instead, right? Not funny, of course. But that’s the kind of craziness we’re living in, in America these days. It could always be worse.

I wrote the article Why White Women Hate Black Women But Are Still Obsessed With Us for a reason. My experience of dealing with jealousy, fake feminism & allyship, and racism from white women has been often. This time was no different.

Most of us have experienced a toxic work environment at some point. I’m interested in any studies that may show they have increased in recent years. I wouldn’t be surprised. I got fired right after coming back from vacation in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. Nice Beach. Friendly tourists. Locals…hmmm. There were a lot of Trump and MAGA signs and even a Trump souvenir shop that admittedly no one seemed to be visiting. But what really got me was taking the kids to a public park. While on the playground I kept feeling like I was being watched. There was a residential area across the street.

I turned and saw a dark figure on an apartment balcony looking at the playground. I looked closer. He wasn’t real. It was a cut-out life size image of Trump with a creepy smile. This could’ve been some dark humor joke in the vein of “Hide ya’ wife, hide ya kids” type…
