Idk but Michelle Obama telling Barack “You told me all those years ago that you couldn't promise me the world, but you could promise me an interesting life. And, of course you outdid yourself and managed to give me both." is the most beautiful thing I’ve ever heard someone say to another 🥹
@AirTarig Vanessa Williams in Soul Food, Debbie Morgan in Eve’s Bayou and for sure Alfre Woodard in Crooklyn would all have gotten nominated too. Halle in Losing Isaiah as well.
Raven Johnson is just a pro, man. Her stats may not blow you away, but her overall impact on the game in totality is absolutely nuts. She manages games well, understands when to attack on the offensive end, and she’s so steady defensively.
Michael Jackson had 3,000 dancers auditioning…and he picked HER.
This Sri Lankan Odissi queen brought 2000-year-old temple fire to the “Black or White” video and absolutely cooked MJ on the highway 😤
Nobody talks about this part… but it’s lowkey one of the coldest cultural moments in music history.
Look at her explaining how thrilling it felt . ❤️
Yo, Michael Jackson really let Quincy Jones’ daughter Kidada style him in full hip-hop streetwear for Vibe Magazine back in ‘95… Karl Kani, baggy fits, Tommy Hilfiger, the whole wave 🔥 She delivered so hard for the culture.
Tito Jackson said it best in a 1984 interview, explaining that his brother Michael avoids giving interviews because he feels he has been unjustly and unfairly treated by the media, particularly by newspapers, and believes that people will form their own conclusions regardless of what he says. Tito clarifies that Michael does not feel he owes fans explanations or interviews, but instead feels his responsibility to them is through his music, and he takes pride in being a positive example for children. Addressing concerns about kids losing their identity by dressing and moving like the Jacksons, Tito says he doesn't see anything wrong with it, comparing it to children wanting to be like characters such as Mickey Mouse.
He adds that imitation can be harmless and even inspiring. Tito also shares that his own children love watching him perform and enjoy practicing to be "little Jacksons," noting that his middle son can even moonwalk a bit. He mentions that his kids are deeply into music, taking piano and guitar lessons, and look up to him with hopes of following in his footsteps.
Eddie Murphy talking about Michael Jackson's bubble is one of those stories that sounds fake until you remember who Michael Jackson was. Eddie describes MJ casually bringing out a clear bubble so he wouldn't have to touch anything, like it was the most normal thing in the world. The way Eddie tells it makes it even funnier, because he's clearly half-confused, half-impressed, trying to process how someone can be that famous and that detached at the same time.
What makes the story legendary is Eddie's delivery. He doesn't clown Michael in a mean way, he just lets the absurdity speak for itself. The bubble becomes a symbol of how surreal MJ's life was, and Eddie acts as the voice of the regular person in the room, reacting exactly how anyone else would. It's one of those moments where comedy and pop culture collide perfectly.
Kobe Bryant once said:
“I have nothing in common with lazy people who blame others for their lack of success. Great things come from hard work and perseverance. No excuses.”
If we don’t SUPPORT our own, who will?
The Black Coaches Association proudly congratulates both NBA Finals head coaches, Mike Brown and Mitch Johnson.

This also destroys the narrative that Neverland was meant to “groom” children, exactly how was that going to be possible if the place was gonna be public and accessible for everybody? ANYONE could’ve find ANYTHING at ANY TIME and guess what… there was NOTHING INCRIMINATING EVER!
