Uncle Tim Scott is problematic on so many levels....

"The presence of progress doesn’t prove the absence of racism."

[Keith Boykin @keithboykin]

Tim Scott tells Sunny Hostin there’s no systemic racism because we have successful Black public officials and we no longer have to step off the sidewalk when white people walk by.

Sure, but the presence of progress doesn’t prove the absence of racism.

@AndrewPSaito A friend and I tried to go out and picket on Friday, June 2. Just as we were about to take the Path into Jersey, we got a text that it was canceled! Arrgh. So frustrating. No explanation given.... My friend flew out from ATL to go picket.

George, I am the lowest level writer out there. If I got paid 50k for a feature screenplay, taxes would see about 20k of it at least. And 10k goes to my manager and lawyer. So I'll probably see 20k of that 50 total. And my rent is $2800 a month. 20k take home is not a salary.

@jesuiscinque Ummm. Not to throw cold water on this love fest for bw natural hair, but I've been Natural for 20+ years. Who are those bm in the Vid? Not the successful, monied-up corporate, or captains of industry type. They only notice us when our hair is shiny and silk pressed. So..#truth

@jesuiscinque Let's just call it what it is. A kindergarten teacher.

Watching the Grammys again, and it's even better 2nd time around. I missed Missy Elliot's performance and really enjoyed Melle Mel's "old dude flexes muscles" performance for the 2nd time. #GRAMMYs #longlivehiphop

[Kenyetta Writes @308UplandProds]

OMG, this Grammys show was the blackest thing this week. Yassss, my whole early life's soundtrack was up on that stage. I'm an emotional wreck. And my knees hurt from twerkin'. To the next 50 years. #Grammys2023 #Grammys

[Pop Base @PopBase]

The #GRAMMYs delivered a star-studded performance in honor of Hip-Hop’s 50th anniversary.
