[shimmies menacingly]

I tried it a couple of weeks ago to show my little one it could be done...it did not go well for me. But she got a kick out of it though!

My nieces and nephew were too tickled at this....then I had to whip out photos of them getting pushed around in clothes baskets as they didn’t believe they’d ever been entertained in them. Then I had to take it a step further and bust out pics of myself, my sister and their dad being entertained in various…

Not knowing the game is absolutely what this sounds like to me. I’m a prof at a public university in Illinois, and at least in our case there’s a lot of funding around for a student like this, but we see huge differences between first gen students and everybody else in terms of knowing how to find it.

Agreed. There’s some dots missing in this story. Who was advising him? Every black sorority and fraternity in Greensboro gives out scholarships and they LOVE to have African-American male recipients. Maybe he was only applying to national scholarships—local opportunities are much better.   AND there are some solid…

We’re just ordinary people/we don’t know which way to go

the carolina covenant guarantees you graduate debt free if your parents/guardians are 200% of federal poverty line or less, which seems to apply here. have to graduate in 8 semesters and have a work study job, but there is no application required at all. if you meet the requirements and are accepted to the school,…

I don’t know about that walmart shit but Ring My Bell should NEVER EVER be referred to as “that song in those walmart commercials.”

While we’re on the topic did y’all know that “Ring My Bell” (that song in those Wal Mart commercials) is about cunnilingus? Go look at the lyrics if you don’t believe me. Those women back in the 70's were low-key freaks.

...but what if Auntie Big Ma already knows and the joke has been on us the whole time. Shit.

Blue lives matter, unless it’s my wife biting one.

And since it is SoCal, Mexicans were here first.  Get out of here white lady!

Waaaaah!

Couldn’t they just send an usher with her?

Just like the pig who got fired in Georgia on a Friday and had a new job on the Monday; white people can be fired and suspected of having done outrageous and heinous shit but have no problem finding a new job. The rest of us get laid off due to no fault of our own and we look suspect for being unemployed for a few…
