Butter and sugar pays all the bills, but my mouth is a liability.
I'm Black first, and 🇻🇮🇵🇷 immediately after.
Encyclopedic, nuanced and witty history of psychology's ethical and scientific missteps in the service of racism. Erudite, refreshing, and so far as it illuminates a shameful history of racial slander and exclusion, infuriating. A delightful read
Lauren London did an interview and said:
“We never argued or fought. But I would be crazy sometimes, and in those moments, he never lost his cool, never disrespected me back, or called me out my name. He loved me anyway. I would get hot headed, sometimes out of line, and aimed
My client recently paid/spent $240k to recover/salvage some containers and was paid upwards of $2mil PER container.
I didn't even know this was a real industry.
There's hundreds of containers floating in the ocean AAGM, and companies pay well to retrieve them for environmental

A lil somber reminder, sometimes you gotta drive for you and the 18 wheeler next to you. Be alert. If you're sleepy or have been drinking, please don't drive.
You can hate on a Black Ms Columbia if you want but the haters left the chat with this walk. 😊

Beyonce sent the elevator down and a gang of Black country singers came up.
Loving the range of Black and other nonWhite artists getting extra airtime.
This is Tanner Addell with "Buckle Bunny "
Chris Brown used the voice of Young South African college girl Naledi Aphiwe on his song “Shooter “ and guess what else he did? He credited her a million dollars and still listed her as one of the writers of the song, so she will get royalties from the song for life.

One thing about bachata...I love dancing it.
Bachata's origins are firmly rooted in the Dominican Republic, originating in the 20th century among rural, lower-class campesinos (farmworkers), mainly of African descent.
Bachata almost didn't make it out of the Dominican Republic
Watermelon originated in NE Africa and brought to the Americas by slaves. After emancipation, free BP grew and sold watermelons, making the fruit a symbol of their freedom. Southern Whites, threatened by this, responded by making the fruit a symbol of BP’s perceived laziness.
If you're in PA, go support this Black owned beauty supply store. He is being locked out the market by Asian hair vendors and antagonized by anti-black/ acronym hate groups. I heard he still has the lowest prices.

When you travel, you realize Americans are the least educated on global conditions.
I've seen grown men speak as if Africa was a dusty country, and everyone lived in tin roof houses in close proximity to lions and apes. Meanwhile, there are places in Africa that make Miami and
Truth is, you can't say with confidence where this meal is from nor the nationality of the hands that prepared it.
That's why diaspora wars are so silly. 🥹

The truck flipped and crashed into a truck traveling on the other side . Both drivers died. All the cars managed to escape damage and injury

Its hard to trace once they sink and it's cheaper to sink than to retrieve, so companies literally leave it up to the salvage crew to sink OR remove. I didn't know any of this until recently.
It needs to be better regulated but with thousands of containers crossing oceans every
Remembering the incomparable Ruth Brown. A powerhouse vocalist and a key figure in the development of R&B, Brown's soul-stirring performances left an indelible mark on the music world.
Fun Fact: Ruth Brown is the aunt of the great rapper Rakim.
If Africans don't fuk with you it's cause you're an idyot or an azzhole.
Whole fawkin continent and nobody from any country there likes you?...then the problem is you.
I got Ethiopians calling me "sis" and Tanzanians telling me to come visit. Africans absolutely fux with me
Many refer to it as "Black Rice"
In Haitian Culture Its Call "Diri Djon Djon"
It is made with a unique black mushroom that releases both alkaline properties and a dark chocolate color into the water while boiling.
Undeniably the best tasting rice in the world. 🇭🇹
Media plays a huge role in racism. Critical thinking is necessary in a world of fake news, where people often seek out info that backs up their own biases rather than truth that challenges their beliefs.
Media literacy is key. Teach your children. Help your friends be more
Punta is an Afro-indigenous dance and cultural music originating in the Caribbean Island of Saint Vincent And The Grenadines by the Garifuna people before being exiled from the island.
It has African and Arawak elements which are also the characteristics of the Garifuna language.
This is culture! 🥰
Every year since 1987 Guadeloupe honors their grandmothers. The elders are the culture bearers.
Here’s a look at the "Fête des Grands-Mères" event. 🇬🇵
Do you practice a similar tradition?
Colombia has the 3rd largest African descendant population in Latin America. Colombia has over 4.4 million people who refer to themselves as of African descent. To give perspective, Puerto Rico has a population of 3.264 million and Jamaica 2.828 million.
One Of The Strongest And Most Underestimated Forces In American Political History: the revolutionary husband and wife.
The first African American civil rights leader to advocate armed resistance to racial oppression and violence, was Robert F. Williams born on February 26, 1925
French Congressman who is promoting a social and anti-racism Republic in his country says that France should reimburse Haiti for the $33 Billion debt they paid post Independence.
I'm rooting for this man. He has more sense than most.
Georgia has passed a law allowing local police to arrest anyone suspected of being in the country illegally.
It also provides immunity to officers for “mistakenly” arresting the wrong people as long as they’re acting in “good faith”
You got your red beans cooking today?
Red Beans Monday to Fish Friday are traditions rooted in African culture, still practiced today in Lousiana and by the Gullah people.
Tell me again how African nations can't succeed? If it wasn't for European interventions, those nations would be world powers...and the Europeans would be 3rd world nations.
I thought this country is about free speech, telling an African-American men to get out of here. He’s not from this country. These are what the fascist is doing. Donald Trump think he’s above the law.

She looked back at the baby before she was dragged back in. Doesn't seem as if any of this is her fault. Also the surrounding car isn't going to drive off with a baby right there and that was obvious too. There is a lot to be observed before you rush in and blame the victim.

Would you dive to see this?
The modern front porch, which is a staple of most American homes, is an African invention. More specifically, it is a Yoruba invention, much like the shotgun home’s they’re a part of. They came to the U.S. (in New Orleans first), from Africa, through Haiti, during slavery. Did
If you're a Black American and you have done the following, you have practiced Hoodoo:
1. Ate Collard Greens on New Year's or a spoon full of black
eyed peas.
2. Deep cleaned your house on the first of the month.
3. Used anointed holy oil.

You were taught a sanitized white washed version of slavery.
You weren't taught that it was doctors and teachers and soldiers who were enslaved. You were led to believe they were savages and that even other Africans were equally responsible.
You weren't taught about medical
@queenie4rmnola
We all were taught about slavery. We all know slavery is bad sure it’s good to learn more about history, but it doesn’t take rocket science to understand OK yes slavery is bad…. any kid or person with the brain can understand that I don’t think that’s going to change you know
Haitian cooking is really superior.…🙌🏾🤤🥘🐠🇭🇹🔥
I don't know what its called but the Haitian version of Sofrito (blend of vegetables, herbs, and spices used to flavor beans, fish, meats, rice and stews) needs to be bottled and sold.
