I’m not adding to any of the countless Black-USians-versus-Africans posts already floating around (especially because one, like folks have said, it’s weird to me that the appropriation accusation is specifically thrown at Black USians and not, say, Black folks from Canada or Antigua or Venezuela,…

My homie Maggie Horn is running to raise money for the Foundation for Crohn’s and Colitis. 
To quote her “I was recently diagnosed with Colitis and that’s what motivated me to take this on. Pretty amazing to me to think that on June 24th, a year almost from the exact date I was in the hospital as a result of my own battle with Colitis, I will be in the best shape of my life running 13.5 miles. I am up to ten miles already! Wild for me, I’ve never been the athletic type.

I know quite a few people of whom this disease effects and it truly changes their whole world and consumes their life unexpectantly. If you can throw a few dollars to the cause it would be appreciate …and tax deductible! heh

I also have Colitis and will support this cause and you should too.
