I was there, taking swimming lessons when I heard another white kid use the n-word. My mom stared me in the eye and told me to never, ever, say that word. When I repeated her direction to another kid at school, I was taunted as a n-word-lover. Mila is lying and probably grew up in white enclave.

Someone is very very confused about @flavorflav.bsky.social I’m sad if/that there are people out there who don’t know and understand the legacy of Public Enemy. PE and Spike Lee’s Do The Right Thing were two things that really opened my white girl eyes back in the day.

I think Don’t Think Twice, It’s All Right at least comes close. But I admit I fell for that song hearing Indigo Girls do a rousing version with their beautiful harmonies.

Joe, I just want to say I really appreciate your willingness to be out there (here) with your message and perspective. As a Chicagoan, I’ve watched your full arc over the years. Glad you made the bsky jump.

I moved the butterfly to top of my apps and buried the old one. I’m on day 2 and with so many new follows it’s become second by this afternoon. As I repeatedly check to see if #VernonReid is over here yet.
