Once I stopped going to clubs that have “sections” and bottle service, my clubbing experience got infinitely better lol. All you need is a dance floor, a DJ booth, and a bar. The house scene is where it’s at no lie
@Tavietavie
lol it be annoying me when they record trying to poke fun. You been eating ya meemaws canned ham yo whole life and now you wanna complain about lack of seasoning? I know Connor turned that camera off and tore that shit up 😂 stop the cap
@I_be_lowe
@DionneAyanna
So…. Just to clarify: you let white folks call you the n-word,,, and still served them….And were satisfied when they deemed you “one of the good ones” and didn’t call you the n-word again? Am I following?
@moneyymaya
This reminds me of when that lady posted on here saying she was sad she lost all her pics and a man replied saying he had a bunch saved he could send to her 🥴
@jiggyjayy2
The Five “Civilized” tribes all owned slaves. And tried to keep us enslaved past the emancipation proclamation due to sovereignty. Black natives have had ongoing problems trying to gain/maintain tribal citizenship/rights post slavery. To this day.
We are nothing if not a superstitious people 😂 you think some niggas finna break into a church, at ALL? In GENERAL? Hell naw. Christian, Athiest, Muslim, Buddhist, we do not mess with places of worship. This seems very “Black Rule” but that’s just me
And if you check the retweet it’s all these racist white folks crying about one pew. I’m sure the church has cameras that can show who did this. I’d be extremely EXTREMELY surprised if it was a Black person. We simply to not fuck with shit like this
@___inCANdescent
I actually had a guest lecture in college from a professor who fed their whole family like this, year round! They brought in multiple items + asked the class to pick which ones were dumpster dived. We got them all wrong. I recommend ppl read “On Dumpster Diving” by Lars Eighner
@tephani_rose
@jiggyjayy2
Well, it’s apart of my family’s history so I’m intimately familiar but — google “five civilized tribes slavery” or “emancipation proclamation five civilized tribes” and you should be able to find several articles about enslaved Black people on the trail of tears
@___inCANdescent
A few ppl have liked this so here’s the essay if y’all wanna read it. There’s really good analysis on it out there if you’re confused/interested.
@Reesemo90
@StillKayWhy
That’s what I’m saying. We just not built this way. Historically the only people who burn down or desecrate places of worship are 🌚🌝

@AmberSevart
Being “grown” is precisely why emails sent so late in the evening on Fridays won’t be answered over the weekend. Grown people (should) know boundaries.

@Ciroc
Auntie Patti pulled the sweet potato pie out the oven with her bare hands. You may think that means this was staged but every Black woman over 70 got invincible finger tips, both my grannies be doing this shit 😂
There is, however one group of the American populace that historically likes to destroy and desecrate places of worship. I won’t name no names, though. 🌝🌚
Y’all really tryna act like there’s less racism in northern states. Have y’all ever been to Southern Illinois?? To Indiana?? Hell, it’s certain neighborhoods in Chicago you won’t find my Black ass in after sundown. Thinking racism only exists in the south is irresponsible.
@DrChaeEd
When I was going into my freshman year, my grandmother told me “Remember, you’re in school to get your BS AND your MRS” she was deadass too 😂 though none of the women in my family have ever been SAHM. Much to her chagrin I only left with one of those lmao
@redditships
Don’t go to HR. If (when) come to you, say that it makes you very uncomfortable that she’s monitoring your actions so closely. Maybe say something about time and energy Amy used/wasted to create a food log for you? Madness
@___inCANdescent
There are people who STILL believe that natural hair isn’t “for” them. Like nah you just hate your hair it’s FOR everybody because it grows this way naturally
@RakeemShabazz
I keep remembering more 😂 if anybody ever told my great grandmother that she needed to/had to do something she would say “i ain’t GOT to do shit, but stay Black, and die!” I used to think she was being dramatic but the older I get, I feel it 😭

Your “cancellation” didn’t nearly destroy your life. Your ACTIONS “nearly destroyed” your life (how hyperbolic). I would hope you’ve learned to mind the business that pays you after that whole ordeal but, I suppose that would be too much like right.
@NoEmmeG
You would not imagine the amount of fathers I meet in my line of work who don’t know basic things about their child. They don’t be knowing birthdates. And it’s seen as “cute”
Outside of this being wrong, How many people have life insurance policies on their 10-20 year olds? Funerals are super expensive and have to be paid some way.
Families of the Astro world victims contacted lawyers before funeral homes and that is so insane to ME. Bodies still on the slab, but let’s run these numbers.
I would have liked to see at least one person in a Native American designer. Not any cultural garb but maybe one of these themes by an Indigenous designer? And having that designer in attendance as well.
I think it’s interesting that folks don’t feel comfortable telling their friends they ain’t got it. If I suggest something that a friend can’t afford they let me know and I either cover it or we augment the plans and vice versa. I thought that was normal.
There’s an article called I Can’t Afford My Friends Anymore about salary descrepancies in friendships and how that affects outings/the friendship. That’s a way more interesting discussion to me than money and dating.
@keatingssixth
Eldridge Cleaver is so deep in hell he’s frozen solid. I’m surprised many people don’t know that IR marriage was at the top of the list for a lot of civil rights activists and entertainers (Sidney Portier, James Earl Jones, Harry Belafonte)
@AsiaChloeBrown
Wow were you a fly on the wall in my family’s house during thanksgiving last year? Do you have a crystal ball to see into what it’ll look like this year!
The more I learn about the Harlem Renaissance and those involved, the more I learn Langston Hughes was such a MESSY BITCH OMG Today I learned, he knew Yolanda Dubois’ (W.E.B’s daughter) soon-to-be husband was gay, and gave them a fruit bowl as a wedding gift 🥴
This was super vulnerable and I think she’s v brave for talking about it and processing it in a way that is still introspective and not placing blame on others. I think it’s completely normal to want companionship and as a society we don’t place as much value on platonic -
Well this has been cute y’all but these notifications slowing my phone down. Remember to drink your water, eat your veggies, and raise hell if people calling you racial slurs at work (or at all, tbh)!
THIS is what I was talking about. My research is on how stress over the life course impacts Black women during pregnancy but at its core, stress is epigenetic and the reason why our community sees higher rates of things like high blood pressure and heart disease
@shaTIRED
My thing is even if it was herpes like he said, the only person who should care is his wife! Plus pushing further stigma on STIs doesn’t help stop their spread, the rumor was v irresponsible
I think this is a wonderful idea. Not the main point but I think it’s important to remember that there is merit in alternative forms of child rearing and cohabitation that don’t center romantic love at the forefront
If yall start saying someone who has, at best, 18% black ancestry, is a black person.... just cause they your fav's child...........i might turn to dust!
This is gaining traction. Minneapolis is like my second home and seeing this incendiary bs frustrates me. I have nothing to promote but I will say to my Minneapolis fam: I see you! I support you! I love you all dearly. Keep up the good fight and stay safe❤️

@thedigitaldash_
The long lashes, nails and baby hairs are p much cultural staples at this point. Someone is always going to rock them trend or not. I feel like these things are popular rn with nbs and that’ll die out but they def not going nowhere for Black folks.
@REDSEASHAWTY
Your best bet is probably finding specific DJs or promoters you like and going to their sets bc then you’ll discover even more of the same vibe. Resident Advisor is also good place to start.

@jiggyjayy2
While that may be true, and it is true that each of the five tribes had anti-slavery factions that were against slavery. There were still enslaved Africans on the trail of tears who migrated along with their owners. My ancestors did not work alongside their Choctaw owners.
@WrittenByHanna
I thought Chewing Gum was hilarious but it took me a long time to finish it because there were multiple times I had to pause episodes and physically walk off the second hand embarrassment I was feeling 😂
@KekePalmer
It’s so early lmao. Imagine if folks on EBT had access to healthy foods? Imagine if we didn’t police poor people’s eating habits? There *is* a farmer’s market program for SNAP, you gotta actually have access to a farmer’s market for it to be utilized.
@cillahope_
I have had the same thing happen to me. asked why “Black Americans” have white/European last names. I said, when you own a pet they have your last name, correct? My ancestors were dehumanized and reduced to property. That’s why. The unmitigated gall to ask something like that.
@DeeLaSheeArt
I feel like an infestation of this level has got to be parental neglect. I don’t know much about lice but I feel like this can’t be the average infestation
@ScottieBeam
When I was a kid I had a book called “Bedtime Bible Stories” that made famous passages from the Bible “Kid friendly”. How do you make the stories of Sodom&Gomorrah, Cain&Abel, or the Pharaoh of Exodus “Kid friendly”? You don’t, you just add fun pictures 💀 I was traumatized lmao
I’m convinced y’all lack reading comprehension bc she said federally — as in within the United States. The criminalization of weed in the US is an overarching issue and this situation highlights the necessity for legalization, in the United States.

Elon James White not being allowed to join his then girlfriend (now wife’s) family during thanksgiving because he was Black. He had to sit in the car. She brought him a plate out and went back inside
