"Sometimes, I feel discriminated against, but it does not make me angry. It merely astonishes me. How can any deny themselves the pleasure of my company? It is beyond me". - Zora Neale Hurston

I wish folks would see the literacy decline as a systemic issue.

When I got to "...shooting heroin."

Unc gon get his steps in or bike it everytime.

This... It reminds me of Lift Me Up: All these white folks chanting when I asked 'em where my niggas at? Goin' crazy, got me goin' crazy, I can't get wit' that Wonder if they know, I know they won't go where we kick it at? Ho, this shit ain't Gryffindor, we really killin', kick in doors

Who you calling 'Nigga'!?

So I wanna play kickball, but I don't want to join a league because I don't want to commit to that shit. It's the same reason I don't join book clubs. I read. I like talking to people about interesting things, but I don't want another task. What if I don't feel like it that day?

God, yes.

Tonight this guy say me snapping pics and asked if I could take some of him too. I love Black people SO much

Invisible ink, please.

Unpopular opinion: The 5 Love Languages is BS Caveat: I appreciate that is encourages discussions about how we like to receive love Rationale: Its unscientific. Its based on 1 guy’s opinions. 5 categories are insufficient to capture the full scope, beauty & complexity of human love & connection.

$10/hr Boys & Girls Club - Program Coordinator. Couldn't tell me nothing. Running around the hood with a new fitted hat and some girbaud jeans every paycheck.

Correspondence Dinner Cuz was Black?

Blood was threatening genocide three weeks ago. It's always the ones who talk the toughest that turn into hoes when they get popped at.

"It's irrelevant, the beast love to eat Black meat It got us niggas from the hood hanging off its teeth" Nas different. Listen to Grand Finale on your streaming service tidal.com/track/265845...

Fam 🤣🤣🤣

Y'all wasn't outside. BG smoked everybody. Listen to Boys At War on your streaming service tidal.com/track/104207...

This new Fetty Wap.goes crazy. The Sinners homage in the visuals go crazy. Richmond, California is responsible for so much cultural innovation. Y'all welcome 😂.

This may be an Unc complaint, but I don't like how when these little trap rappers make their songs marketed toward women, it's always in the third person. "She this. She that." Like she's an avatar. More archetype than person. It feels detached. Devoid of real affection.

Bring back soundtracks and music videos with the actors from the movie in the music video.

It's just Man. My mom called me Man 😂.

My therapy low-key told me to get outside and crack something 😂

Too many things, but you don't have to earn your safety.

Timeless.

You are a unique organism that has literally never existed before. It makes sense that you don’t have all the answers. And that some of the answers that exist … don’t fit.

Who's cutting onions?!?! 🥹🥹🥹

I feel similarly about the DMV. Being from the West Coast, our Black flavors are largely products of the Great Migration. Having that and West Indian heritage in my own family, it's been nice seeing so many expressions of Blackness.

Gambit, for sure.

I'm just glad Vybz Kartel stopped bleaching.

A good, competent therapist is worth their weight in gold Finding one with the skills you need, that’s a good fit, can be incredibly difficult Just like with any profession, some ppl are shit at their jobs. But I’m here to tell you, finding the right one is worth the effort & can change ur life

Cool. My electric mixer stirs faster than my finger

"you seem really interested in this. You should turn it into a business" you should stop talking before I choke you 😭

I wanna sock some shit out today.

"I... I don't want any physical altercation." He probably felt brave doing that too.

I love black people and I love being black.

Fun fact about me. I was born at 11:11p.

Women be fine as shit! I just had to yell that out.

What would the world look like if Europeans didn’t destroy every civilization they encountered? What If they didn’t burn millions of books or destroy technologies they didn’t understand? How much better could the world be if they led with curiosity vs a desire to subjugate through violence?

Black men need to decenter patriarchy in order to fully embark on their mental health journey. Vulnerability and accountability are the antithesis of patriarchy, and you won’t be able to progress emotionally if you’re not able to be 1) soft and 2) look at that man in the mirror. CALL. THAT. LADY.
