I hear you and I don’t knock anyone for using it. (Food is deeply personal, cultural, etc.) This, for me, is akin to no longer using table salt, which contains sucrose. If/when I need to add sugar to a dish, I do so. I can eat food cooked with Lawry’s, & will use a little- if it’s the only spice available. 

I hope he DIDN’T get paid upfront so we get to watch things devolve spectacularly between these two degenerates. Preferably with some very damaging business told on both sides.

I stay with a cabinet full of spices. I was late to Lawry’s, but eventually set it aside when I realized sugar was the second ingredient. Sigh. It was tasty, though.

OMG. LOL. How awful. On the other hand, name checks out. (I’d say, “I’ll see myself out” but I’m in the greys, so I already am.) P.S. Like their friends, they’re delicious but potentially lethal in the embarrassment department.

Interesting. Cos we definitely showed up and showed out yesterday. From chants to live instruments to cars blasting “FDT” by YG & Nipsey Hussle. Downtown Philly would’ve been an embarrassment for them. Somehow I think this was a fortunate mistake for them borne of utter incompetence.

I’m so sorry for the triggering and reopened trauma of watching others fleeing the hell inflicted in many countries. Anyone with a heart regardless of origin can see how intentionally evil this is (& has been). Glad you and your family are safe. Here’s hoping there’s a 180 degree change immediately after Biden &…

Yeah, it’s pretty disgusting and why I consider them traitors. The other thing is along with the self-important contrarians, I got this sick feeling that they may have voted for him just to say “Screw you” since : A) they can lie about it & B) we can’t undo it even if they admit to it. With the Candace Owens of the…

Yep. And we need to allow traitors and dangerously deluded Ice Cube-Candace Owens-50 Cent types to express themselves so we can fully disengage & divest from them. None of us should’ve voted for Trump: poor, rich or otherwise.

So glad you’re well. And stubborn as we can be, ignoring our health ain’t the move.

“Respect for traditions from other cultures” and those who “go along to be polite” apply to those perceived as White. While there are individually compassionate people whose intention is to avoid harm, as a nation we’re inundated with TV & film which position people of color “Others” as bizarre, worth laughing at or…

Trolls are obsessed with us and I had a feeling this post would elicit one. Sure enough the one with the slur TooMany____ pops up. I’m happy to know that this is NOT a continental African being a jerk. This miserable lout isn’t even Black. “You people” was the giveaway. Lol. They really can’t help themselves. Lol.

Different name & decade; same hatefulness towards us & ours. In 1994, Fauziya Kassindja fled Togo at 17 to avoid genital mutilation & coercion into marriage. Went to Germany. Made it here on a fake passport. Because she was seeking asylum she admitted that to U.S. Customs upon arrival. She was detained & effectively a…

Fkkk. Chest tightened. It’s happened before & with the same person. Buhari became head of state after a coup in ‘83.

It’s way more than a single year, certainly. What gets me is how much of these horrors are ongoing despite tireless work.

I’ve said it before: being Pan-Africanist & having a global view of BlackLivesMatter has enriched my life, but the pain and burden are increased as well. The unpunished murders of our people have been psychically catastrophic. The police here, in Nigeria, everywhere. Nigeria just had a bittersweet 60th birthday on the…

“White supremacy is bad for your health.” THIS!!! All the aforementioned men paid very dearly for that and squandered their social currency. I understand even Jackie Robinson became embittered. Furthermore, they think bluster similar to White men will get them the same results? I remember nodding as I read Damon’s…

While true, I find it deeply cringeworthy. It may seem hyperbolic, but Trump, Cube & their ilk have much in common. They mistake being loud and immovable about their aggressively uninformed positions with being steadfast champions. They spout what they think “should happen” with no inkling about practical applications…

“I never have dinner with the president! I never have dinner with the president! I never have dinner with the president & next time I see your ass I’ll be hesitant. Now I think you a snitch. Throw a house nigga in a ditch...” followed by misogynist & homophobic words. Ice Cube to Eazy-E.

He doesn’t even get how egotistical he’s being. I managed to watch one video where he says Black folks can endure anything but ignores the millions of dollars cushioning him & his family from basic existential needs of many of us struggle to have. He had the gall to say he’s been researching & reading history for a…

Ohh??? Ugh. Banange! I didn’t know they played parent & child. Yeah, yuck.
