Went back to college after an 8year hiatus. The guy I tutored before I left, was my professor when I returned.

The restaurant didn’t place “$” signs next to their prices.
She ordered Salmon (27) and a lemonade (8).
After we finished eating she asked the waiter if she could get the other 26 pieces of salmon “to go.”
She thought (27) meant 27 pieces of salmon & that (8) meant 8 refills.

Because that’s how it works!
For ex: If The Bahamas wins a medal, so does Barbados…
It’s not about Sha’Carri…it’s about unity; we back each other 1st, then we back other Black athletes.
Black Americans can’t understand this because, to them, “Black” only exists in America.
Lol Jamaicans trying to ride Julien Alfred wave only because she beat Sha'Carri. Not a single Jamaican placed but now all of a sudden they are Pan Carribeans

In fact, if no one from the Caribbean won, we’d back Sha’Carri, just like we did with Felix and Marion Jones in years past…
Just like we do with Simone Biles and Gabby Douglas before her.
To us, Blackness isn’t a closed, nationalistic concept. Those boats made multiple stops.

The short answer is segregation.
White residents wanted to keep Black people from being able to access their neighborhoods.
So they separated the neighborhoods by using highways.
This tactic, combined with HOA agreements, sustained segregation for decades.

Horrible advice and if the person you’re dating followed it, you’d be left every time.
It’s impossible to like everything about someone. Find out what you’re willing to accept and what’s absolutely a deal breaker.
Not liking something about a person ≠ Not liking the person.

‘Black Americans’ is a collective noun; It’s not a ‘catch all’
If ur not within the collective that’s being described…simply move around.
Cause “we support everyone that’s Black…” and “we don’t think about y’all” is a silly sentence structure that proves the point.

I spoke to each at length about it.
Their response seems to mimic this.
In general though, I believe that some ppl can’t belong to anything without “worshipping” it.
Ive been in this org for 10 years. Not once did i feel i could lose sight of God, felt like I worshipped the org, or any of that other stuff people be talkin about when they denounce. Thats your personal problem. YOU lost sight of what was important to you.

The word “love” wasn’t used; the original Hebrew word was “hesed”.
“Hesed” is hard to translate to English…it basically means kindness, loyalty or solicitude. The translators felt as if those words equate to love, and so used love for English readers to better understand 1/5
The Bible said that David and Jonathan's souls were "knit" together and David said that Jonathan's love for him was better than women's. Y'all really don't see how that could be interpreted as more than friends?

As a long time fan of Coates, I applaud his patience with those leading questions and also his resilience to reframe his own narrative.
Don’t tell me what my book is about; I’ll tell you.
Ta-Nehisi Coates’ new book, “The Message,” is a trio of interconnected essays that examine how the stories people tell — or avoid telling — can shape and even distort reality: “I am most concerned always with those that don’t have a voice.”
