Have we really gotten to the point where any focus on black boys has to be met with bitching from certain black women?

Nah, because:

Besides, O.J. Simpson had a whole trial and was acquitted, yet most white people (and, admittedly, some most blacks, too) still believe that he killed two people with the same knife at the same time on the same night.

The title is already off.

For some reason, one factor I have not seen being discussed as to why black voter turnout was down in 2016 elections is voter suppression and gerrymandering. Do folks not remember how black voters were basically being turned away from the polls that year?

But it’s less about money, and more about voter mobilization. The amount of money the NRA actually pays to campaigns is pretty minuscule (they only donated $1,085,150 to campaigns during the 2016 election cycle).

Unpopular opinion: the halftime show was entirely trash, but the Prince part wasn’t the worst offence.

If she had a proper manager instead of her bum ass husband she probably could have proper negotiations.

That’s actually pretty standard as far as entertainment contracts go. Even the number fits her popularity level. She might not like it, but at this point she doesn’t have broad name recognition.

According to the terms presented in the contract Netflix offered Mo’Nique, it would own the copyright of the program and control all exhibition rights.

Maxine Waters. Kamala Harris. Stacey Abrams. Letitia James. That’s four Black women who have won contested elections to win major federal, statewide, and citywide seats.

Killer Mike is an opportunistic fuck who used the Bernie campaign to sell albums. And Nina Turner will never be elected anywhere ever again. She’s noxious and deceptive.
