Hey Everybody!

It’s Lace, your Favorite Scam Artist!!!!!

Comic Relief on Memorial Day!! A day when we celebrate all those who gave their lives for our country, including Buffalo Soldiers, including Tuskegee Airmen, including my own Dad, who was spat on and called names in the newly integrated Navy in the 50’s and 60’s, including my uncle Al, who died in part from TBI from Vietnam, where black and brown soldiers were disproportionately on the front lines, and who got fewer benefits and medical care once out.

A vignette from the last Weekly Ask! (Yes, we are overdue for one):

Just so you can get a small sample of the gentlemen who sometimes show up on the page, not to learn, not to engage, but to denigrate and attempt to harm:

I invite you all to surf over there to read the wisdom and trenchant commentary from a one Steven Conroy, who thinks I am running a long con. You can read his studied words and breathtaking analysis embedded in the comments.

His best line?

‘Lace on Race sounds like a scam.’

Welp.

Such cogent discourse deserves a robust response.

Here’s mine! And there’s a prize inside too!!

(let me switch to my phone, y’all. While I am, apparently, a very proficient grifter, I am not that great with technology. Heh)

For the record Steven, if you subscribe to the theory that racism is an economic construct before it’s anything else, and I do, you could say I run a scam to expose a scam.

The scam of white supremacy.

Cheers!

This is for everyone in the community who thinks I’m all rainbows and moonbeams.

Not above a little well deserved (and sociologically/historically accurate) snark.

Have a great Holiday, everybody!!

From Lace on Race, your partner in crime.

….Seriously though y’all, let’s have a real discussion about the value of this space.

This question is only for those of you who have contributed to the community–

Do you see value in this space? Are you getting your money’s worth?

For those of of you who have chosen not to yet, why not?

Thanks Steven! You started a great conversation!

And GUESS WHAT??? It’s time for another Weekly Ask/Reminder!! This is it!! Ante up, y’all. (Uh, ya. This really is the prize inside)

Lace The Scammer needs a new Lamborghini.

Actually, she needs to pay for web domains so we can get off Facebook, and write curriculum, but its all the same diff, Right Steve???

This is a lot more fun when I’m less apologetic. Heh.

I’ll be doing a more formal Weekly Ask later today, but I just thought we’d hit this head-on.

With love, (and just a teaspoon of snark),

Your Lace
