If your “jokes” align with violence against marginalized folks, then they’re not jokes.
They’re propaganda.
We don’t live a “hypersensitive” world.
People are finally being held accountable.
Tell your friends to tell a friend.

In 1960, the city of Houston removed 490 bodies from Fifth Ward’s historic Evergreen Negro Cemetery for road expansion.
They claim the bodies were re-interred to other cemeteries. But I’ve heard other claims.
Spirit Airlines canceling all of their flights after employees strike is a reminder that our economic system is built on the backs of low-wage service workers.
The moment we stand up, the system topples.
Folks also underestimate how close we are slavery.
My great-great grandmother was born 17 years after emancipation. Both of her parents were enslaved.
I was born in 1990
Folk underestimate how long (chattel) slavery lasted. 1600-1865 . 265 years. To compare 265 years ago was 1759. Imagine telling folks who been here nearly 3 centuries they are still visitors . It’s insanity
Women are really socialized to see the best in men at all times. Often to their own detriment.
All that nigga did was open the Bible and say a few therapy buzz words.
“He’s doing the work”
My thing is this. Y'all see the family situation Clay is coming from and how he really just made the connections between his upbringing and his own patterns. And folks are calling him everything but a child of a God. His trauma on display for everyone to see and folks just mean.

Ruth: I hate your fucking guts, Marty!
Wendy: You’re a terrible father, Marty
Agent Miller: Marty, give me what I need or you’re going to spend your life in a box
Omar: I’ve killed men for less

If a nigga from the Temptations told me that I needed to find a trade because I was conventionally unattractive, I’d become the best damn welder in the world.
DJ Envy apologizing to his wife on the air for cheating on her with Erica Mena isn’t even a top-10 Breakfast Club moment.
That’s how wild that show was 😭😭😭
Drake took the “If they’re laughing at you, laugh with them” approach.
That’s some shit your 6th grade guidance counselor tells after the bullies ram your head against the locker.

@VanLathan
Almost every time someone is accused of something heinous on Higher Learning, Van has a 2-3 minute prologue on how he’s either friends with the accused or “only knows them to be a good guy.”
But when Pusha T called him a tragic mullato who parades his deadbeat father around while simultaneously being a chip off the old block by hiding his own white child, he didn’t have anything else to say
This is who
@drake
chose to diss. The INSANELY talented Esperanza Spalding. Her story reads like someone who was destined for greatness.
Stick to club songs and leave REAL musicians alone.
A reporter asked Michigan coach Sherrone Moore about Jalen Milroe's comments on Bill O'Brien suggesting he change positions, and where he thinks Black QBs stand today from a stereotyping standpoint.
"Really, I don't see color. My wife is Caucasian. My kids are mixed. I deal with
@DeuceThomas
There’s a broader conversation on how the rising costs and exclusivity of AAU is leaving poor kids on the concrete. Sure, there are expectations who get sponsored, but we’re leaving far too many kids behind.
Well actually, you let niggas beat you up and spit on you for a full semester so you could bark like a dog at college parties. Sit this one out, Que. This ain’t for you.
@MatthewACherry
I’m almost convinced the producers for the NFL draft are the same producers for American Idol
“If your mother did coke with Roger Troutman and/or burned cigarettes out on your baby fat, please come forward”
@bomani_jones
I don’t doubt his account. But it sounds like he desired mentorship. Understandable. But typically, the onus is on the mentee to seek guidance.
My follow-up question to Rich would be: “Knowing what you know now, what are YOU doing to prepare the next generation of black agents”
Too many women love using child support to punish men for them not being together, not because they're not taking care of their children. Then get mad when the courts requires next to nothing for support. Smh.
Jonathan Majors sat up in that interview with them big ass jnco pants on and casually admitted to telling that white woman to be more like Coretta Scott King.

Eligible families will receive $40 per month per child during the summer — a total of $120 per child
I mean, it’s something. If you’re a glass half full type. But nothing to be praised for
Especially when you consider we’ve given over 130 billion to Israel since it’s “founding”
Every time I see pictures like this, it reminds me that age of consent laws is the only thing stopping many men from seeking child brides.
The fact that laws like this are needed is even more alarming.
