All this. I live I Texas but I’m from Oakland. I got the family heirloom potentiality speech in the south, but our west coast thuggery means my engagement ring is also a form of wearble mad money. If Mr. ARay ever acts a fool and needs to be Mr. XRay, my left hand can take care of my lawyer’s retainer, a deposit on a…

Don’t know where you’re going with this. He’s definitely Black and definitely corny.

I’m a Black woman married to a Black man. We have Black kids. Our dog is also Black. I believe Mr. ARay and I love each other and are still in love after 2900 years. Sometimes I want to choke him, sometimes he pops up at my job with Popeye’s. Anyway, I hope we Meth and Mary J. our way to the upper room after seeing…

He’s Costco-sized Fritos box levels of corny.

Hey, let me help y’all out: I’m Catholic. My devout mother taught me to curse like I’m being paid to do it and once a week I’m sorry enough to be forgiven! I will gladly translate.

Here’s your damn star because she did indeed slice his achilles and it deserved a pull out, but I’m contractually obligated to to tell you I hate Kobe every time I see, hear or think about Kobe. I hate Kobe. K, thanks.

Her husband is her manager so do what you will with that info.

Agreed. And if it was just rudeness, we could deal. If we only bought stuff from folks who treated us Black people as valued, fully-human customers we’d have been naked and starving since the first Juneteenth! Many stores have currency requirements that are straight up illegal, such as cash only or you have to spend a…

Word. But remember, their union is a bit ‘loose’ anyway with the open marriage and whatnot. I just pray he ain’t been opening his mouth to the wrong folks and opening her bank account to her demise.

You gotta get your contact info updated in the woke negro database because hell yeah we been off the KBS for years now. Unfortunately I don’t know how to embed my explanation above in the thread, but have you ever been to one? They love our money and hate our mamas. Don’t pay them, fam.

Yep. And I suspect the hubbyger has gotten her caught up in wackness before. She better ask Mary J. what time it is.

Truth. And we are seriously trying to avoid all of this stuff and you end up buying an emergency bag of cough drops from the bookstore and have to Google to find the owner and decide if you’re about to sell your soul for this effervescent menthol candy. Sorry. Just happened yesterday ;)

If she didn’t ask then, I hope she will now. She knows her worth. Maybe she gets Will Packer, Code Black or a Black Famous/Black run entity to help her produce a special and then shop around the completed project.

Well, you got it. Have to say it’s hard to believe that you grew up in the Korean community and you just tonight learned anything I’ve told you. Across America our communities have had tense and dangerous interactions for at least the past 40 years if not longer. Does no one talk about this stuff at the Korean People…

And you know it’s not always easy!

Nothing wrong with the concept of the Korean community itself. Korean Beauty Supply industry stakeholders, including store owners and staff members, make millions of dollars in Black neighborhoods and from Black people but never contribute to those communities.

Salud!

Nah, I just poured a D’usse and Lemonade and my jalapeño spinach puffs have another 10 minutes before I have to hit ‘em with the eggwash. The library is OPEN, lol. You know I haven’t lied yet.

I think he dismissed my comment. It’s a shame, too.

I better hurry up and like this before I get the alert we boycotting hashtags now.
