A 3-month stay in juvenile detention, costs the state of Michigan north of $42k per child. Average cost of a year of college in Michigan, $14k. Prison industrial complex...

Wait, is it really fair to compare Gillum to Kanye, Torry, and Talib?? The actions of those three have not caused harm just to themselves but to others either explicitly (and possibly severely in the case of Torry assuming the rumors are true) or implicitly (like the descendants of Harriet Tubman having to defend their…

That’s America. The beatings will continue until moral improves.

He looks great and I wish him well. 

I didn’t read this whole thing but if you’re telling me that you’d take a threat from Maya (or any of her 10 ‘friends’) as seriously as you’d take a threat from Talib, with his resources, his hundreds of thousands of fans, or his old neighborhood crew or one ‘Stan’ fan with a screw loose...well...

Well that’s not going to help her with all that very important homework now, is it?  Stupid, and wasteful system.

Why isn’t she the victim, because she didn’t immediately shut up and apologize? Does a victim have to be perfectly 100% innocent to get empathy or does everyone have to bend the knee to bigger, meaner bullies with more assets?!

This is what I tried to tell people about the child services/social services self-preservation techniques! This is about three things: the case worker wielding her minimal power (read how she doesn’t care for the mom and finds the girl ‘troubling’ [read: mouthy]), 2) who gets funding for Grace when she’s in a facility…

Ok, I teach. I have had probation officers contact me about what students were doing. They do make it a major point to students that doing their work is something judges consider very important if you are on probation. I had a student who was constantly on house arrest and eventually left the school because the judge…

What lesson does the judge think she is teaching her?

Talib Kweli is one of your top five rappers? Dead or Alive? Ummmm....have you only ever listened to five mc’s?

He has a million followers and she’s got 20K. As I wrote above Meg and Cardi get way more shit and you don’t see them losing their gord over it. They don’t indulge “clout chasers,” IF that’s even what she was doing. She didn’t @ him. She retweeted a comment about colorism that thousands of Black people make about…

He’s an old ass Hotep who needs to take several seats, shut the fuck up and be glad he had money and fame to keep his black ass out of jail. Seriously, he’s supposed be bigger than this, you see all of the shit people tweet at Cardi and you don’t see her flipping for 24 over someone with 20K followers. He has problem…

I was about to say this. Plus, she didn't say all of those rappers were married to light-skinned black women. She said that most of those listed rappers were married to light-skinned black women. 

She retweeted someone who listed him amongst several other people and she in no one said anything specific about him. But keep twisted yourself to believe that his actions are justified.

God bless him. Hopefully he will genuinely concentrate on his personal rehabilitation and communing with his family. This isn’t the year to announce you’re running for something else or going to have a commentator job on a channel or even a podcast. If he tries to farm himself out as a public consultant, the…

Be Like Elsa: Let it go.

Yeah she’s probably full of shit, but he’s been a celebrity for decades. He should have a way thicker skin by now. If he just clapped back once or twice it wouldn’t even be a story, but he didn’t just call her out. He went in hard, with a hell of a lot of tweets to a random person. He really should have other things…

Hopefully he’s just gonna pivot to music for a while and maybe just pretend this whole thing was a stunt for drawing attention to his new album. I was also diagnosed with the same disorder decades ago, although I don’t have the fame to fall back on, so I just mind my time in the shadows, I’ve been lucky enough not to…

Cops at time perform vaginal and anal searches because people have used those regions to hide weapons.
