Dear Blacksky, Feel free to take and use as needed.

Save yourself some annoyance. Throw that pen away. It's not going to magically start working again the next time you pick it up.

Who do you think will have a MegaChurch first, Ciara and Russell or Diddy?

In times such as these, a little bail money put aside is only proper.

Honestly, it would not surprise me if a few of his kids are happy he isn't coming home. Yes, they showed a unite front, as one does, but I'm sure he was not easy to be around. No narcissist is. Now that spotlight of the trial is off of them, I hope they feel a bit freer.

Every day, white people wake up acting brand new. It's so unsettling. I see why they are so excited about robots. They are robots. They are trained that anything that takes them off their program is not understood.

When you hear people talk how mother's/grandmother's had it easier in relationships, just remember, they got advice like, "Don't blame, Mr. Charlie. Mr. Charlie is just a man and he's doing the best he can." Now, that's some old school shit, right there. I say, cut your losses and keep it moving.

Ok. The season has approached and I know lotion is about to be 3 dollars more than it was last Fall. These companies when it comes to lotion, they got us. So. Anyone have any Black owned lotion recommendations? Not front facing. Black OWNED. Thanks.

Oh nice. All those corporate overlords that fill the seats, because they are the only that can afford them, need to be roughed up a bit.

Then there's that.

This post was from 8 months ago and people still don't get it.

If you are 42 years old and exhibit certain behavior, someone needs to step in for the sake of the child. There is something seriously wrong. I hope someone can convince her of that. At 22, I could say, she's young. At 42, not so much.

I just looked up: Nicki Minaj age. I found the answer to be unsettling. Ma'am. Please stop.

I don't need Experian or Credit Karma to tell me what I can afford.

This balloon popping thing has lasted longer than I expected. End it now. Where my pin at?

When politicians post it's always the most vague stance possible. "We should be alarmed by..." No shit. So, what are you doing? "Alarm" is not action. The fire that caused the alarm is action.

White people: Don't stop fighting. Black people: Oh, damn. Has the fight started? What round is it?

White people: Well, ok, then what do you suggest we do? Black people: I see. You want us to give you the answers, so you can jump to the head of the class, without having to do the work to get there. Like a cheat sheet White People: Well, if you're gonna put it like that. Yes.

If you ever get to see Bryan Stevenson speak live, do so. He will tell the truth.

Never, not ever has a Rotisserie chicken let me down. That's my girl. Don't come talking no ish about her to me. I don't play that. It will not end well for you.

"That's a good man, Savannah." - said a mother than had never been treated good.

If Deacon Charles don't go somewhere and pray about it, he better.

I feel like Black men should bring back short shorts (jean or corduroy), mesh jersey muscle shirts, open back clogs, nunchucks, and a Black power fist pick, sticking out somewhere. Interestingly enough, corn rows are the only thing that made it out of that period. Someone should study that.

You got to clock 'em early, so they know you ain't one of their little friends and not to be played with.

When they said, "Yesterday's price ain't today's price" I don't think they meant groceries. Damn! What is going on?

I like this app, but, as a Black gay man, I pause before "liking" an image of a Black man, which for me is nothing more than saying, I see you. As Black people, we can all imagine having to wonder if hate is around the corner. Being gay adds another level to separate. "Community" is weaker for it.

Just because you understand/get someone doesn’t mean that someone understands/gets you. Realizing that will save you a lot of time that other someone doesn’t mind wasting.

I ain't even gonna lie. I'm scared to look at the price of lotion. The white folk know, the moment that temp hit below 65, they got us. Black folk ain't boycotting lotion. Let me look at my budget again. Damn.

White people are still mad that we can talk back. Some hide it better than others, but it's in there, and they know it.

Sometimes, for no reason, I say, "Don't blame Mr. Charlie. Mr. Charlie is just a man." Then I go on about my business.

Can we start calling people "Trifling" again? It's just so linguistically visual and pungent. It comes with its own facial expression. Nothing much need be added to it. "Just trifling," pretty much says it all.

Many of our parents were young in the 60s and 70s. They went through some things. We're the stronger for it. For you born in the 2000s, don't fret, but, know, respectability politics does not work. Be present in your full self, but continue working on what that is. Growth matters. Change is good.

Are you running toward or chasing? Don't let capitalism trip you up on the answer.

To save time, before I have an edible I say, "This aint even gonna do anything." I want that edible to have something prove upfront. Show me who is boss.

It's a damn shame. Kerry Washington was just sitting at home, minding her business. Chilling. Excited because she knew she was gonna be answer on "The Wheel." Now, she's like, "Well, ain't that a bitch. My own people don't even know me."

At this juncture, American diplomacy is basically our allies calling us and we answering, "New phone. Who dis?"

I hope Montero is getting the support he needs. I'm not sure I trust anyone around him. The label only sees him as a money maker. His well-being is not their business. Clearly, his "friends" didn't care or he was in a mental state or manipulated into getting rid of those that did. Head up, Montero.

Bottle service makes me chuckle. That sparkler show aint about you. They use you to get other people feeling they need to show they can afford a bottle too. It's a stunt to get your money. Faux flex. Real power does not want bells and whistles. The club is not the place they seek attention.

Ticketmaster charged me extra for the early VIP Rapture meet and greet. They stay ripping people off.

Some of these Rapture outfits aint it. Some of y'all didn't even bother to iron.

You walk in someone's place and they playing Sade, they either going through a break up or they trying to get laid. Possibly both.

If you reply to something I post, whether I agree or not, if your comments are closed I will block you. You will not use my TL to post and run. I'm open to conversation, but not flag planting.

Good. I hope it does.

"Don't blame Mr. Charlie. Mr. Charlie is just a man."

Oh, wow. I'm not familiar. Thanks. I will have to see if my library does too.

This isn't the America I know." Black people:

Nothing says we mean business like a weekend protest. Carry on.

Mariah, girl. I know you depend on this season, but you might wanna go head on and put a little money aside. I'm not sure there's gonna be a Christmas this year. It's not looking good.

I don't watch reality TV, but I usually love seeing post about all the shows. It makes me smile how in to it people get. But I must say, I need Big Brother to go head on and wrap it up. It's going on too long. I don't think the other shows go on this long. Whew.

These Cable News host are really out here lip syncing for their lives.
