Who Would Imagine a King makes me cry too, thought i was the only weirdo with that lol (not calling you a weirdo in reference to myself)

I love Michaels writing. Im low key hoping one of the books is just filled with all the wonderful history he presents in his twitter threads.. i learn SOOOOOO much 

ok so Im an elementary teacher and I am struggling to see the value of this assignment period. Like how is naming the price of slaves contributing to anything this person was trying to teach? She could have had them research the historical price of things and used that for wherever this assignment was going and that…

so I read the other article going around this morning, folks have to do better, you dont know what you dont know, seems like Adams got wiser too late and I have a feeling that was only because of the name being taken. Wish he would have been more knowledge or thought to find things before it blew up. Gunpoint over a…

thats some sick shit.. some things just immediately im like you not right in the head 

I actually feel bad for the guy .. Its hard to raise a kid on a fast food salary to begin with and now hes unemployed. Plus I know back in the day at least it was seen as something good to bring a kid to work, show them a little bit of what they do, let them help out. I guess my only issue would be if he was bringing…

somebody on twitter said they took out the siamese cat song on lady and tramp, somebody replied to that saying it was bc of how the cats were drawn. Now im curious if that scene was left in and a similar disclaimer on that movie ...i cant see myself purchasing disney + .....i still have all my old videotapes and two…

would have never thought on it long enough for this but this is spot on..i love that song and dont find it problematic at all.. in CONTEXT of the times but im also an ENglish teacher/major ..WORDS MATTER..CONTEXT MATTERS..like i do not want to hear your body your choice in that song.. this is one of those times i…

i finally sort of got into these kinds of movies last holiday season.. idk if there were more black people in them last year (or advertised at least) I finally said f it and watched a few. They were cute and I enjoyed them HOWEVER this reminds me of why they arent my thing. I mean how many versions of this same story…

Maybe bc this is a “white salon” (in quotes bc ive never heard of it so im assuming) it is discrimanatory I cant call it, what I can say is that my whole salon life, my mother was charged extra for my hair length and thickness and these were black stylists, black salons, this was the 90s, $10-$15 extra, my last lady I…

wow i had no clue she was the first black actress to win that award, so that makes me a little even more angry, if she is not worthy of dimming ALL the light not just nine, who is?

Amazing accomplishment regardless, but i learned a few months back there was this whole hub bub and back and forth (complete with statements released from each) between her and a woman named Woni Spotts who claims to hold the title. There was a whole back and forth about who visited countries that no longer existed…

“Like many black kids who were subjected to television of a different generation via their grandmothers” This line made me chuckle and so happy as I am currently binging In The Heat of the Night after discovering by accident it is streaming on amazon and I have an affinity for it because of what you mentioned. Fond…

I was thinking something similar like what is it with this new wave of choosing her for seemingly every black american shero..i dont get it

dont throw tomatoes at me but i actually prefer the old version. New version seems like they just switch the dial over to bright. I think the darkness of the original adds to the history of the movie and the time period being depicted

I say yes. This specific case is reparations for the enslaved people who were enslaved by whites under united states law..If we start talking about who has been negatively impacted by american slavery by being here, its opening the doors to pretty much everybody who isnt white. Reparations should be for the…

that tweet is literally the exact thought that popped in my head..the apple fell FARRRRRRRR from the tree on this one..like it dropped off, hit the ground, rolled down the hill and ended up outside the other apple trees into the orange orchard 

“all held together by a clear plastic bubble-wrap apparatus” whatttt??? you special P! all my shit just gets thrown in the box from amazon. I can count on less than 2 hands the number of times bubble wrap was there. Its literally like someone went shopping at the warehouse with a box instead of a bag, chucked…

I think this is a step in the right direction and I hope it prompts more institutions and businesses to do the same. As a side effect of this (for lack of better words) I AM THRILLED at the fact that researchers who can and will have the means will have to go deep to find the descendants, thereby offering these…

These celebrities irritate me to no end. Because Im regular, I just cant even fathom at this point in time getting so much money and power that I want to take a common phrase to make it mine. First Kim with Kimono, now Taco Tuesday, both of which have been around for Idk how long, but they think they should have the…
