“And both means we’ve decided not to foreclose on any perspectives while he is in heavy learning mode.” What does this mean?

This is what I thought when the trailer came out and there were 50 11 think pieces on 2 minutes of film. I get the excitement and I thoroughly enjoyed the film and I even see the layers...

I enjoyed it. Lupita N’yongo is BRILLIANT! That being said, do we always have to over analyze every thing and then “think piece”it do death? Go and see a well done, suspense filled movie then make a note to self that if you see anyone in a red jumpsuit and those brown sandals, that they’re going to catch all those…

Beyond the fact that I was entirely entertained, I know that I thought about the movie longer than I normally think about movies afterwards. To me, I’d count that as a success.

You just keep those khaki’s packed.

Talk firmly to the cut until it stops bleeding.

• If you have small children with you, protect them by picking them up so they won’t panic and run.

Unlike in this story, I feel confident that you did not end up making her choke though.

People also don’t like to talk about how all those pesky stops for people who were simply Brown in public cause psychological distress; feelings of being in fanger, hyper awareness, depression and fatigue.

I moved to Harlem 15 years ago, ahead of the other colonizers where I fell in love the with the neighborhood, people said I was CRAZY to live up here.  I kept my mouth shut and stayed out of everyone’s business, and never had a single problem.  10 years later,  I was followed by a wave a white people who seemed…

Also, Genius is largely trash. It can be helpful sometimes (for figuring out lyrics of mumble rappers and, more recently, seeing commentary from the artists themselves) but mostly it seems like just a bunch of (clearly) white people trying to extract levels of meaning from a lyric that are laughably wrong or…

A coaching violation in a Slam finals is a ticket for going 3 over the speed limit. It is clearly illegal by the letter of the law, and if it’s being enforced then the person doing it is an asshole.

What the umpire did was basically arrest Serena for jaywalking. Illegal sure, but it also comes across as picking on her. And Serena isn’t exactly new to unfair treatment

She’s one of the most unfairly criticized, and mistreated athletes in her profession. What you call “worship” others call balancing the scale to the poor treatment she often receives

It put racism in America front and center. It’s obvious the Chair was being racist and sexist.

She was grace personified. At the press conference too. She's the GOAT in more ways than one. She knew how to stand up for herself when she had to but recognized Naomi had to have her moment. 

I’m glad Serena tried to get the crowd to stop booing and ruining Naomis moment. She was all class trying to cheer Naomi up after the match. The officials have been poor throughout the tournament.

I hope someone puts together a highlight reel of all the coaching this guy’s ignored and all the obscenities he’s ignored from male players. The violation for coaching was chickenshit at best, and that game penalty was fucking absurd.

Thank you. What also bothers me is that a generation of black women are possibly operating under the premise that it’s better not to report because the police might shoot them, rather than the idea their safety has more value than these black males and their abhorrent and criminal behavior.

Not that you don’t feel sick, shocked and either blank or flooded with thoughts in that moment; You don’t owe that boy shit. You don’t owe any boy, no matter how much he reminds you of your brother, cousin, best friend from 3rd grade, your safety, your body, or your silence.  Even if he's a Black one, and many are…
