Yes and I don’t get every pop song by a young white man that makes the Top Ten. BFD.

I’ve always considered the Nation of Islam and the 5 percenters to be engaging in orientalism. They aren’t really based on anything real from the Muslim world, just a mish mash of various beliefs that arose during a time when empowerment was needed and separation through religion was rising. The Nation of Islam is to…

God, I’m old as fuck.

I doubt it. It might make work awkward they next time they pull the same shift.

So when I was Stopped and Frisked multiple times and white people would walk by staring and shaking their heads I should have realized they were just tired.

This Gen Xer is raising a child of another race and doesn’t have the luxury of just being left alone and ignoring this. What kind of world do want to leave for your kid?

Yes, because it (purposefully?) places the duty to resolve onto the oppressed: instead of forcing the intolerant to change or at least examine their own beliefs, people ask the oppressed to accept a certain level of intolerance.

That’s because this shit is as real to them as Game of Thrones and Hunger Games.

“That rain video.” 😂😂😂 You mean “Quit Playin’ Games with My Heart.”

I find it hard to trust women who don’t have female friends. I would be miserable without my girlfriends. Female friendships are important for mental health.

Your little sister knows what’s up. My first crush was Robin Hood. The fox from the Disney movie.

It’s usual to keep white phosphorus under oil, although some places use water.

But why did it ignite? Does phosphorous burst into flames based on temperature or something?

These stories are horrifying but also drive home just how much modern war isn’t just a few years of fighting and then peace; it’s rebuilding shattered and destroyed cities and landscapes and dealing with decades and likely centuries of environmental effects and dangers.

The thing about jewelry is you get what you pay for. If it’s free, it is trouble. If it’s an expensive gift, sooner or later, it costs every penny it’s worth.

I’m of the mind it would have been someone older than him, don’t you think?
