Things were more interesting when all of our clocks weren't set to the same time. That's actually kind of spooky.

More than ever, politics is local. Everyone should check to see when their representatives are coming to town, a part of their job, and show up to those meetings. Let your voice be known.

Eggs are one thing, but if the price of Goya beans go up, it's gonna be a problem. Y'all know if it's Goya, it's got to be good.

I could date one of these professional sport mascots. Very discreet. Only a few even know who they are. I could sit in the stands, watch my man, hyping people up. But only I would know that was my man. That’s Hot. Which is odd, as people in costumes tend to freak me out. Life is funny that way.

Liberal white characters/people on TV, and in life, love saying, “My relatives marched with King.” Ok. What do you want, a cupcake? What am I supposed to do with that? More importantly, what does that have to do with what You're doing now?

Sometimes I think, “Those poor women are going to have to go out again and promote part 2 of “Wicked.” They barely made it through the first one.

How'd we get here? We gotta do something. He doesn't care about us. It's insane. In 2025 we shouldn’t have to fight for the right to exist. It's bullshit. – Liberal white people posting. Bitch, please. Read your post aloud, then think of how that sounds to "Others." – Black people reading post.

We will be tested. To bring out our best. That won't be easy. I see that as a good thing.

YouTube will never match the sheer brilliance and chaos of Cable Access TV shows. If you did it for the likes, you weren't doing it.

In commeration. Malcolm X. Sadly, his words still ring true. So, asking, how we got here, is disingenuous, when the lack of consideration and understanding of "other" is exactly how we got here. Until that is faced, nothing will change.

Black people are not allowed to be mediocre and prosper. White people know DEI would continue to unveil the mediocrity of meritocracy. The key to success is, who will play along with the lie. They know, more than not, we won't. That's When They See Us. Then and only then.

That man don't care what we have to say. You might say he never did, but he did because it fed his ego, gave him a reason to be in front of a crowd. Now, he's a bit senile and is just thrilled he doesn't have to prison. Musty gave him his get out of jail free card. But free ain't ever free.

Even when it’s cold, try to get some sun on your face when you can. We need the vitamins.

In 2018, T-Magazine gathered a group of Black male writers for a story called, "The Academy." Seeing us in this photo, I see what has been added to the culture and what will be. We will mark this time, as we have done throughout time, whether they wanted/want us to or not. We write. We right.

Politics, like media, is not about speaking the truth. It's about extending the falsehoods until new decisions can be made.

Like it or not, this is democracy. People tend to forget, it's an experiment. That's why it's been so difficult for us and others to pull it off.

The US stepping away from Global health is widening the door for China to continue "investing" in these countries.

When you get invited to go on a cable news show is it already understood that you’re not really there to have serious discussion?But I guess they have to fill the hour somehow. Truth tend to be succinct. News doesn’t allow for that.

Y'all think in the future, people will decide to dig up the remains of Marilyn Monroe? See what all the hoopla was about? Turn it into a traveling museum show?

If you consider it, what technology has pitched as making life easier is actually cheating, life.
