I was heartbroken to learn that FAMU was there. No way my president (Frederick Humphries, a*k*a “Hump”) would’ve been caught dead shaking hands with Donald Trump.

This has happened in the last 2 days: It came out that Sessions had 2 meetings with the Russian Ambassador during the campaign, then lied about it under oath to the Senate (that part’s the felony).

also d-mannose supplements - they seem to be ONE piece of woo-woo* that work and are supported with actual biochemistry.

*this is not carte blanche for other woo

Only gonna say this ‘cause I didn’t learn until I was 22 and it caused me a lot of grief:

Thank you. “Liberals” and self-appointed “Progressives” were sooooooo disappointed with the “ineffectiveness” of President Obama’s initiatives. And, because Obama’s administration were the worst cheerleaders ever, a lot of the things he accomplished went unheralded. It’s like we lived through Hidden Figures or…

I think the best play would be to attend while loudly and publicly remind Trump of his own words, that he would “do more for HBCUs than any other president has done before” in context of what Obama had done before.

How much did we pay in terms of tuition to these colleges? Or do we strive to go Haavard, Yale or whatever HWCU’s we’ve been told was superior?

If you’re not suited for such, I *know* I’m not suited, so we can sit together in the back;)

OUCH! That clip was powerful. Seeing it and seeing how young those guys look also reminds me that time has flown.

My vote is you decline the invite. Showing up is normalizing this man and an administration that has deliberately disrespected HBCU students and their families.

German cockroaches are the smaller, lighter, slimmer ones that go for your food in swarms. American cockroaches are the large ones that some people call “waterbugs”.

That look when you know the house is more comfortable than the field.

I wonder how the invitation should have been handled? Does one actually go into the lion’s den and hope that he actually benefits rather than mauls you? What do you do when you are there and when you leave? Do you refuse the picture? Do you say something like “We are glad to meet with the President of the United…

Morehouse College President John Wilson, Jr. issued a statement today admitting that over 100 HBCU Presidents went to the White House and all they got was a lousy Instagram photo.

nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

That’s a very strange video. I help take care of some hissing cockroaches at the museum sometimes...

i read that story in middle school and it’s always stayed with me... but i’ve never thought of it in terms of our own society and the way we are set up... or at least with the understanding of our society that i have now as an adultier adult. now this is going to haunt me. do we all, the ones who choose to be a part…

The hosts of Up and Vanished, Undisclosed, Truth and Justice, and Actual Innocence (all podcasts) teamed up to do a great cross-over episode about this docu-series (they all have it posted it up on their pages and it’s worth a listen). I cannot wait to watch it.
