I don’t interact with ppl who still think all of west Africa willfully “traded slaves” you don’t even need a history book to know that a trade with people who have more power than you, more technology/weapons than you, speak a whole different language than you couldn’t be fair

a big issue here is the VAST majority of us still live in the black belt, but very few black movies come out versed in southern culture.

@PopBase “You’re exactly right. That’s my bad. In hindsight, dumping your entire account into crypto was not the best idea.”

I really want black people to stop thinking everyone should be business owners. Just because I can make dinner does NOT mean I should open a food truck or restaurant.

Defensive driving teaches you that on average, speeding only gets you to your destination 1-2 minutes sooner. Not worth it.

Do the hood grannies still run in home daycares? Because baby… they used to be EVERYTHING.

Them babies was fed, potty trained, knew their ABCs, and got fussed at just enough to stay in line. They might’ve had a little cereal in their bottle, watched Maury all day, and about 12 kids in a two bedroom, but they were loved, safe, and somebody was watching them like a hawk.

And it was AFFORDABLE!

We lost the recipe when Ms Linda stopped keeping kids.

High value, divine feminine, why did feminists fight for me to work, boy moms, I want to turn off my brain, all of this shit is red pill. It's gross. I hate it for all of them.

[maybe: diane @dianelyssa]
