Me watching SVU

Because the Confederates should’ve been lined up and handled. No statues, no land, nothing!

As a loyal nigga myself, I have no choice but to respect Push’s disdain for disloyalty.

This is the rainiest summer I’ve ever experienced.

Dont open the door for cops unless they have a warrant. I have a speaker on my outdoor cameras to talk to anybody who comes. And if an unmarked car pulls you over, call 911 and ask them to verify

what a loser lol

Lil mama was not amused lol

The best Martin episodes were with the core 5 in one room. This is an underrated one.

Dating is supposed to be fun. Don’t settle down before knowing whether or not you deeply enjoy the person.

Need more of my Black brothers to pick up some fiction. Let the self-help books go.

You gotta be on your p’s and q’s before you date me. I may pull out a question like “what’s your favorite Jamie Foxx Show episode?” and it turn into a whole conversation about our favorite Black tv sitcom episodes. And I’m expecting lines and all.

"The tagline for Motown Records was “the Sound of Young America” making clear Gordy’s intent to produce Black music for the widest audience possible, and that included increasingly diverse Black audiences." #BlackMusicMonth medium.com/p/4493c98477ee

Things do get better, but not before they get unimaginably worse. Hold on to God’s unchanging hand.

Y’all, please listen to this woman! I’m tired of being embarrassed for yall.

Most of you know I do the #BlackMusicMonthChallenge every June out of love - no sponsors. However, I'm not beyond accepting a love offering of appreciation! if you are so moved, you can drop something in the plate via cash.me/$musicsermon or Venmo (Naima-Cochrane). Thank you!

Move on and get over.

Pete Stone woulda had to catch his own fade. This thread is gold

Solange just gets it. Her and her sister... they just get it. It's beautiful to watch.

My beard is in a good place right now. Thick sh*t. But I really want to focus on getting more length. Any tips from my bearded brethren?

You gotta make them feel it lmao I cannot wait to be a dad 😂

I dont think any Democratic leadership should be allowed to speak at ANY of these events and co-op any form of resistance as a photo op until they form an ACTUAL PLAN OF THEIR OWN and tell people how they plan to protect democracy. Until then, IG live is for you

My body aches when I get out of bed. Stretching everyday has become a non-negotiable. Also, if a place is too loud or obnoxious, I’m leaving. Can’t take it

Materialists was *actually* tastefully done.

LA hates its residents. Geez.

The GOP really is the loud minority.

To the Democratic party
