My family has a few such instances...I have cousins all over the damn world. And I think that because of their proximity to American blackness, they totally understand that they are our cousins and we are theirs.

For starters, don’t come into a Black-oriented forum and complain that the articles don’t speak directly to you.

Now we need an extra $5 billion in disaster relief funds

Houstonian here, I can confirm that the streets are running with ejaculate this morning.

They’re not handicapped children in dire need of surgery, so ICE stayed away.

Just came here to say THE HOUSTON ASTROS ARE WORLD SERIES CHAMPIONS!!!

It may have been anticlimactic for everyone else, but as a lifelong Astros fan, I felt like throwing up until the last out. I can’t believe my boys won! Go ‘Stros!

I can just barely remember the one-game playoff in 1980 and the broken-up season in 1981, and remember every last excruciating bullpen fuckup in the 1986 Series against the Mets, not to mention the Killer B’s constant disappearance, Brad Lidge, getting dominated by Sterling Hitchcock, and a World Series against the…

This shit is too surreal for me.

Growing up in Texas, I’ve been following the Astros since 1967. For fifty years I’ve dealt with heartbreak and misery too many times to count. And when the Astros recorded that final out, I’m not ashamed to say I was quite the misty-eyed fan. It’s gonna be a long night of drinking.
