Beware the Law of Miracles:  the more miracles you perform, the more and greater miracles will be expected until miracles become your norm and actual norms = slacking off and underperforming.

Stop making everything about race.

...and if you work too hard or too good, they will assign you to do other (slow) peoples work. That’s your reward.

I am the most efficient worker on my team. I always have my work done on time or early, while others struggle.

As long as I can remember, hustle culture has been a way of life. If you’ve got your eyes on a big raise or a corner office, doing the most is what gets you to the top and keeps you there.

I think that she meant in addition to her talking to North, she thought it might sink in better if Mason also shared his experience. It’s not weird to ask an older kid to set an example and share things since a kid is more likely to listen to their cousin than their mom. 

I agree. North is a child of people who live their lives in public and include their kids as props. That said, I have seen a lot worse behavior from celebrity kids online than getting excited about rented stuff based on a kid’s movie. Maybe I am jaded but I was surprised she wasn’t showing off her new Gucci gear. It…

Adults with children really need a fresh slap in the face about sharing videos/photos of their kids on public social media accounts

I’m on team North for this one - as I will always be on the team of the child who is doing exactly what has been modeled for them as normal behavior by the adults in their life. I don’t think anyone asked North for a long time if she was okay with being used as a prop on social media - why would she think she needs to…

It just bugs the shit out of me that Black men are so quick to call out so-called resoluteness in Black women then capitulate so quickly and completely to the stridency of random white women.

Every bit of this!! Why are Black men pulling out IDs, emptying pockets, attempting to placate random Miss Ann so that she will see their decency? Spoiler alert - she won’t unless she’s after that thang. How many efforts to get BM jailed, maimed or murdered will it take before there is clarity about their egregious…

She did not even look in her bag though. It is a deep bag and she is gently patting it on the side and and just fondling the top. Ohhhhh... Those people are better than me. I would have totally gone off on that idiot.

I’m going to keep repeating this until my people reject their internalized slave conduct and start acting like free people:

You can literally see in the video the moment she saw that BIG phone in her bag, she still insisted on pursuing this. Apology not meant or accepted.

I bet she was close to calling the police.

The wrongfully accused were much nicer about it than I would have been. 

Like when you go around looking for that pen/pencil that you’ve got tucked behind your ear.  Except this time, it’s racist as fuck.  

Every time I have lost my phone, my first instinct is to wonder where my dumb ass left it. It has never been my instinct to accuse anyone of anything. It’s so much more likely that I stuck it in one of the many pockets of my too large purse then it is that anyone swiped it. I just don't get people like this.

The cops would still shoot the couple for resisting lol I’m glad the cops weren’t called

I bet that’s exactly what was really happening. She was about to call the police and suddenly realized her phone was in her purse, but she couldn’t think of a smart way to back herself out.
