How do you cancel a show with this level of hilarious nonsense?!!! #GrandCrew

The first three months of 2023 have taught me to importance of charting your own path and to enjoy the journey — wherever it may lead. But, above all, to not allow ANYONE or ANYTHING to tell you about who you are. Period!

Denying your needs doesn’t make them go away; it just leaves them unmet.

The US broadcasts a police lynching on primetime TV, deploys militarized police & tanks to the streets as a threat not to rebel & then tells us to show up for work on Monday

Ron DeSantis is actively criminalizing Blackness and folks just moving around like it’s normal this is NUTS yall. What in the hell is going on?

If you’re going to quote & authentically honor my father on #MLKDay, commit to embracing a ‘World House’ perspective.

Determine how you’ll disrupt unjust systems & thinking with nonviolent strategy.

Support policies that reflect higher consciousness.

Make no excuses for hate.

Community service & social justice are not the same thing.

Community service is when you volunteer at a homeless shelter. Social justice is when you demand housing for everyone as a human right.

So when US airlines were stranded, they got taxpayer money to help them out but now when taxpayers are stranded, airlines don’t help but instead charge insane amounts to people who need to get home? Help me understand🤔

Megan Thee Stallion deserves more than the “justice” served in Tory Lanez’s case. She deserves a culture and media landscape that doesn’t demonize Black women’s lives, safety, and voices.

We all need to understand that psychosocial wounds are just as harmful as physical wounds.

I appreciate the GA history lesson, but my comments were made as a Black man offended by Walker's candidacy. Some of you will not understand how incredibly insulting Walker's candidacy was to Black people.

Seems to me that all the benefit of the doubt Elon Musk received from media, from so-called thought leaders, from corporate America, comes from a society that doesn't see racism, sexism as signs of flawed character or judgment, but instead as sort of normal and besides the point.

@Skinnydread1968 @michaelharriot I had to scroll too far down to see this.

Just so we’re clear: The attack on Nancy Pelosi’s husband is an act of political violence. I know we believe so deeply in our own exceptionalism but when similar things happen in other countries we clutch our pearls and pretend we could never.

When you've hurt someone, your intentions are not a valid excuse.
