@Krazeecurlz I'm so mad I got this initialism right away! My #GenX age is definitely showing. 😁😆😅

If more white men called out their fellow white men & women racist actions, then this country would be better. White ppl absolutely HATE being confronted by another white person when it comes to their racist behaviors, esp. when defending Black ppl. This should happen regularly!

@ksdknews Where is the audio @KSDKNews of the phone call between Bell and Bush where he not only promised not to run against, but he endorsed her? You aired it at 6 p.m. but it's not on your website? It's time for St. Louis to know how treacherous Bell really is. @CoriBush @bell4mo

At the National Spelling Bee this week, top spellers will vie for the championship. In 1936, Akron, Ohio, champion Macnolia Cox was one of only two Black competitors. HOW DO YOU SPELL UNFAIR? tells her story. @scrippsspelling @Candlewick

People need to listen to this Julia Roberts lives a very private life and for her to post something on this gutter, social media and be insulted is ridiculous. #DuchessMeghan has been saying the same thing people need to be checked and stop this nonsense

[Holly Robinson Peete 💃🏾♍️ @hollyrpeete]

I am just broken up over this poor young man losing his life! As a mom of a Black son with #autism I have ALWAYS worried about this. When RJ was 15 he had a scary emotional meltdown in public —Someone wanted to call the police and if that happened the chances of him ending up like Ryan were extremely high. Fortunately, that night we were able to calm him down and get him in the car to get him safely home. We must figure this out. If police are not able to de-escalate in these domestic situations then we need mental health professionals to come on these calls!!!
THIS CAN’T HAPPEN ANYMORE!! 💔💔💔#RyanGainer 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

More Amari books! I started this journey with the belief that every kid should get to be the hero of their own story. And I'm beyond grateful to be with a publisher that not only took a chance on me, but continues to invest in Black authors and stories. Whoever you are, and whatever you're writing, keep going, and keep dreaming. Cause it's possible.

[Ree @CoffeeCreamTalk]

Brothers who love each other and aren't afraid to show it! Unafraid of being emotional men because they are HUMAN BEINGS WITH EMOTIONS & FEELINGS! Like, c'mon! This ridiculous idea that men/boys don't cry does nothing but stunt your growth of emotional intelligence.

@CoffeeCreamTalk This is going to be good! Joining now!
