Plies dropped a verse on Spend Dat. He said “I ain’t buying a bitch a purse, that’s lil boy shit. I’ma send ya kids to college, I do raw shit.”
That’s the Plies I remember.
Whoever the next Democratic president is, they better not start talking about forgiveness and pardons to unify the country. This country will unify behind prosecutions and prison sentences. We're still fighting because the Confederacy was never properly punished. End the cycle.
Zohran has fixed 100,000 potholes in NYC, secured $1.2 billion for childcare, closed a $12 billion budget gap, and plans to invest $122M in NYC public schools. Oddly, no Sharia law yet.
@courtandsuns@Blackkout__ Correct. Most places do a 4 panel test initially during pre-employment.
However, if AND when you have an accident at work, they WILL test you for marijuana as well.
Please be mindful of this during your consumption periods close to work hours.
Anger is a human emotion. All people express anger, including Black women. The problem is that some assume we are either always angry or that our anger is irrational, rather than a response to injustice
I am at a Haitian graduation party, people are dressed up and celebrating the recent high school graduates.
This may not be their last but they will definitely remember the support of those who showed up and said "Job well done."
I love being black, in EVERY font.
I was talking to my cousin, saying we should celebrate people at every mark.
Meaning if your child or an adult passes a certification or graduates, celebrate them. Even if it's to becomes a certified HVAC or Electtrician, celebrate!
Black people celebrate it all!
bell hooks said that White people will meet a Black person who completely challenges every racial stereotype that they have, but rather than giving up the stereotypes, they create a special category for that person and say, things like “Well, you’re not like other Black people”, instead of saying, “My ideas of Black people were too narrow”.
This is called “subtyping” and it leads to the survival of negative stereotypes because the new category individual who’s supposedly “not like the others” is mentally isolated from the group.
What this shows is that bigotry is all about protecting an existing hierarchy and it doesn’t matter much whether a person is exposed to other people or not. Which is why meeting intelligent, kind, accomplished, or complex Black people does not dismantle prejudice if someone is emotionally invested in keeping the stereotype intact.
Exposure to facts and figures doesn’t change the situation either. Someone can know the statistics on crime, education, poverty, or discrimination and still keep racial stereotypes because the stereotype preserves a sense of superiority and avoids confronting historical responsibility.
This is part of why bell hooks further argued that racism is emotional and ideological more than just purely ignorant, which is then why facts by themselves usually do not overcome a worldview that a person is motivated to preserve.
@RandiWhite Exactly! And they want to discourage others from voting for her.
Stacey lost because they were misogynistic AND she is WAY better candidate than ANY of them.
GA get this lady a win, thank you!
