This is on track to be the stupidest thing I’ve seen all week, and it’s Monday. Also: For the love of God, PLEASE stop cherry picking Martin Luther King, Jr. quotes. He’s absolutely spinning in his grave.

I do this with fictional characters too! These are spot on and I’m sending it to my line sisters as I type this lmaoo.
My first thought is always “Pay for my ticket, ho!!” and pay for my ancestry tests first so we can know where I’m supposed to be going! Because I don’t know that,y’know, because of slavery! lmao! While you’re at it, you leave too!
So: we comply and we die anyway.
When you grow up in the city you’re hyper aware of how segregated it is but only you venture outside of your neighborhood. I grew up in a very far southside lower middle-class neighborhood and the only white people we interacted with *ever* were the police lol. An older white woman lived across the street & had …
So how long is the list now? If you’re Black in America you can be killed for:
He told you, lady. He said say it “one mo’gin” and you did! I cackled when I saw it the first time and I cackled watching it now.
These neo-Nazi /white nationalist scum are under the impression that they’re dealing with my grandparent’s generation. A message from Black millennials: We are not our grandparents. Don’t let your president get ya ass beat. And they truly know where,when and who to try it with because cowards know who they can harass…
Don’t even get me started on “dreads” I hate them with a burning passion. I was once in a mall in Austria (random but,) with 4 other Black women, all of us wearing protective styles while traveling, and a white couple with “dreads” came up to us asking how we got our “dreads” so long. We were all wearing marley twists…
I literally say this allll the time! If I don’t wear my hair protective styles it will literally break off, and that’s with 3b/3c hair. My 4type sisters NEED braids and twists. White folks really do think we just do our hair like this for decoration and it further highlights how much they don’t know about us.
Whenever the topic of cultural appropriative hair styles comes up non-Black people come from left field to say that our hairstyles are “just” hairstyles and that they serve no purpose or that we don’t get treated differently for the ways we literally HAVE to style our hair. I know it’s a strawman argument but it never…
Who’s really surprised? This is Keebler Elf Jefferson Bueregard “I liked the KKK until I found out they smoked the Devil’s Lettuce” Sessions. If anyone thinks for a second that he’s not doing this with the intention of stocking private prisons full of Black and Brown people, they’re delusional.
aw, I love this. My granny raised her children and then 6/9 of her grandchildren and when we all moved out she got intense empty nester’s and immediately started fostering! This was back in 2013 and she adopted two siblings - a girl and a boy- this time last year! They really get a kick out being referred to as our…
exactly! and it’s not too far-fetched to realize that the reason this ad was probably even made was because one of them proposed it and no one, absolutely no one saw a problem with it. Companies need to be diverse from top to bottom to show a true diversity of opinions.
Calling us “The Blacks” would have cemented this imo. And i can’t believe this mf had the audacity to talk about “poor grammar” like AAVE doesn’t have its own unique set of grammar, he was probably just salty he couldn’t understand them, and he shouldn’t. At this point, I don’t even try to code switch anymore, I’m at…
I would go as far to say that the company should be Black owned AND operated. Just because the CEO is Black isn’t enough if the directing board is completely white.
you right, you right.
Honestly, some of these replies are downright tone-deaf. As a Black college aged woman, I can without a doubt say that LEMONADE as an artistic endeavor has inspired me. I don’t think it’s a reach to ask someone who may be a beyonce fan to explain why or how this has impacted them and the hate here for her is…
aw, I love this and I love chance. (showing my age lol) I was in high school and I lived on the South Side when chance and save money were coming up have fond memories of him doing $5 shows or sitting my school’s parking lot selling merch and generally being a cool ass dude. Like the woman in the video says, anybody…
DOC?? *WOC ughh autocorrect
