I wrote this article as a chance for Black boys to dream outside of sports.
And, as Black boys across the country are beginning their
#college
application process, I hope someone is there to share with them the importance of a college education.
Read:
Paul Murray is the man who was arrested outside of Vice President Kamala Harris’ residence with a rifle. His face isn't being showed enough, so let's fix that.
I hope she’s able to grow up in private and just be a kid. It would be very uncomfortable to see this young girl in front of a camera through her childhood, teens, constantly reliving the murder of her father.
2yrs later Im getting 10k a post &STILL woulda tagged/reimbursed u if u approached me different boo..my last hairstylist stole all my wigs when we parted ways &Im still resolving issues today bcus of it..waiting 2yrs for me to “blowup” sounds opportunistic its giving clout chaser
Inviting law enforcement to a graduation to police how Black children celebrate one of the biggest moments in their lives is so unnecessary and anti-Black. These kids aren’t causing harm to anyone. Shame on these school leaders.
I am not upset about Juneteenth becoming a federal holiday. I am frustrated knowing the day will be celebrated by all ppl while the basic needs of African Americans will continue to be ignored: access to healthcare, voting, education, etc. I just want to see generational change.
gay fishing would require Keith Lee to benefit or capitalize off of gay people. neither of which is happening. he is a straight man, with children, and makes zero content attempting to gain the attention of gay people. you just think his ass is fat. hope this clears things up.
all my mind can think about is how certain HBCUs be dragging graduates out of the ceremony by law enforcement for strolling but this man is drinking a beer on stage with admin smiling. I’d just like for our HBCU admin to loosen up when Black graduates are celebrating themselves.
I want people to know that people with degrees also think school is a scam. However, we know that’s how America is set up. Unfortunately, for Black and brown people, we have to get these degrees to validate our voices in rooms where we’re seen as “diversity” picks.
watching shows like BGC were entertaining when we were kids/in high school but to be an adult and watch other adults act like this at their big age with bills and responsibilities is so crazy to me.
its too much going on to only be a week into 2024…
- katt williams rant of the century
- people fighting over stanley cups
- someone flying to attack a judge
- halle being the ultimate gas lighter
- jonathan majors obsessed with coretta
Juneteenth will be a great day this year. HBCU enrollment will increase. Black businesses will prosper. Black community programs will focus more on developing our youth. I feel it in my spirit.
I don’t think I’ve ever paid attention to Coretta Scott King’s fashion sense but this colored image shows it all. I’d love to see more colored images of her. The green topped with the yellow bow on top of the white and the floral earrings with the green glasses is a look.
25,000 real people. Your average graduation attendance is no more than 1-5,000 people (guesstimate). Am I surprised? No. This is very on brand for America.
I want y’all to understand that we do not want to be homeowners RIGHT NOW. Many of us are hopping from state to state with our careers and just enjoying life. We will purchase a home on our own time. Leave us alone and let us enjoy luxury living and our rooftop balconies.
marijuana being decriminalized in different states across the country is literally a response to hella white people wanting to make money in the cannabis industry after decades of criminalizing Black and Hispanic people.
Imagine being a first-gen college student and your family not knowing about greek life and they don’t show up to probate and you only have two shirt options for your first week on the yard.
I’ll never forget that moment lmaooo.
WOW! A customer at The Stumble Inn, a restaurant in Londonderry, NH, left a $16,000 tip on a $37.93 tab earlier this month.
The owner, Mike Zarella, says he plans to split the tip between all 12 staffers that worked that day= $1333 a piece!

LLC/homeowner twitter have found my post. I find it strange how people take this post and think I’m bashing young homeowners. Do you! I know for me, I like a doorman. I like to see a skyline, rooftop access, a “oop let me call maintenance.” Again, heavy on the “leave us alone.”
let me get this straight — Savannah State took a chance on you when others wouldn't, and provided you with the resources and exposure you needed to go pro yet you still wouldn't choose them? That HBCU you wouldn't have chosen made you.
not y’all defending latto saying her hairstylist stole all her wigs. that’s like telling the teacher your dog ate your homework. the homework is still due and with 10K a post the wig still has an unpaid balance. end the convo and pay up sis.
BITCH KEEP MY NAME OUT YOUR MOUTH! I WROTE MY MUSIC UNTIL THE SUN CAME UP I WENT TO PRISON FROM THE STUDIO WE BOTH DID OUR JOBS AS THE CITY GIRLS! WE BOTH CONTRIBUTED! this how shit start, you don’t know shit YOUR WEIRD!
Have you all heard about this? A 15-year-old boy was lynched in Louisiana. The images are circling around and they may be difficult to look at but this young child needs justice. Let America know what’s happening. The election is over but racism is still here.

y’all putting y’all foot down on kids jigging? biggest loser award goes to the principal, school administrators and everyone involved in this decision. very lame behavior.
Essence’s response to Raymonte would have been beautiful if it read as “we appreciate all that you bring to the culture. that’s why we’d love to have you at Essence Fest this year— on us! Girls Trip? 🥂”
In 1954, my great-grandmother stood her ground when a racist white woman approached her and her girlfriends. Later that year, her boldness led to the desegregation of the restaurant. She’s never mentioned for her courageous act.
Black people had happy moments when they were together. I’ll always push to see more films set in the mid-1900s showing the joy that Black people experienced rather than only showing the pain and suffering that racist white people caused. Our grandparents laughed and smiled too.
my only goal in 2024 is to dedicate more time to myself. I can’t be everywhere. I can’t be the support for everyone. I can’t worry about if things just don’t happen. life will still continue. I’m only doing things where I feel supported, loved and valued. this year is for me.
I adore Anita Baker, Jill Scott and Alicia Keys because my mother kept them on replay as a child and I’m sure her mother had an influence on her that passed down to me.
Carlos Piccata, who says he is a combat vet, to the Shasta, CA county commission: “It’s not going to be peaceful much longer. We’re building, we’re organizing. You won’t stop us when the time comes. This is a warning for what’s coming. There’s a million people just like me.”
I want y’all to Google Norfolk, Bethune-Cookman, Bennett, Texas Southern, Paul Quinn, Bowie, Fort Valley State, Coppin, Central, Miles, Delaware State, Elizabeth City State, Rust, Savannah State, Shaw and the many other HBCUs who will accept + offer you money. Expand your search.
