The older I get, the more I understand why conspiracy theories exist. It’s easier to believe some singular individual or small group of people are screwing you over than it is to understand that all of these decision makers don’t get a damn about people who look like you. Conversely, it’s easier to believe that…

Hipsters are people that are deathly allergic to anything considered to be the least bit common place and popular, yet their extra ass efforts to prove how avant-garde and against the grain they are just proves how boring they truly are.

Yeah, that’s what got me: put $200 or so into it to see if it really works as described, and if so, THEN put on the rest. (Perhaps that would have worked out really well for the episode: it’s easy to do $200 at one store, but trying to do the other $3800 before the card expires is where Earn runs into problems.)

Nah, the correct answer is always Kage Bunshin no Jutsu, so I can send my shadow clone to work and I can stay home and play video games all day.

When you have a choice to make, ask yourself which option is likely to make things better and which is likely to make things worse. Do the better one, unless for some reason you can’t.

i knew I was growing up when I went on a date and a guy mispronounced “economist.” He said it like “economics”but with a T and i thought it was just a blip but he kept on saying it that way. He used it correctly and in context and actually his point was really interesting. I just subtly said “Oh I haven’t heard of…

I’m crying - this is me. Hors d’oeuvres is the word that outs me as a god damn peasant, every single time. THE ‘H’ IS SILENT YA’LL! ;(

This. Do you really want to hear a 40something millionaire try to rap about hood life and getting respect?

I made a joke with my SO yesterday while he was on the Oscars that apparently the soundtrack for black historical movie apparently must include Common and someone who can sing.

all he needs to do now is be the voice of a character in a Disney movie. CHA CHING!!!!

Really, when I was around white people, I was “cool.” I got extra points just for being black. And they were happy that I was smart, they were always coming to me for help on homework and once a real life problem because the guy, mistakenly, thought I knew anything about science. That said, the home problems I…

This is one of my biggest rage-inducers (although I have so many, nowadays). Pretty much every “pathology” of the black community is present in “mainstream” America and is just a part of American culture. Lest we forget, white folks elected 2 of the stupidest presidents ever, primarily on “want to have a beer with…

The hood really needs a PR agent. I tell people I’m from the hood and they either A) don’t believe me or B) think I converted to being a dork in prison.

I’m sure the movie explains it, but I haven’t seen it yet so I have to ask - why is Killmonger’s torso ridged like that? Is he ribbed for her pleasure?

I worked out for a month looking in the mirror going “Do it for Wakanda!” For winter time, I’m in pretty good shape. This is usually hard liquor and video game season for me.

Unless Marvel Studios snatches the xmen out of the incapable hands of Fox Movie Studios, they’ll keep miscasting Ororo as a light skinned wilting flower instead of staying true to her storyline and respecting her as the African queen and goddess she is!

My friend said that she is going to rename her va-jay-jay Wakanda so Killmonger will terrorize it.

And how Hamas is so popular in Palestine. Some people will always support the crazy guy who yells really enthusiastically about the stuff they care about, and tune out everything else.

Or the longevity of Louis Farrakhan...

One of the biggest dangers is that well spoken crackpots like Umar can seduce the most gullible into thinking that the most irrational ideas are really plausible. Like this author says they exploit the frustrations of people instead of providing real guidance and leadership.
