Boooooy here comes the Michael B Jordan wasn’t really all that good posts. Smfh.
When yall hate on the man make sure you put Academy Award Winner before his name.
The Famous Jett Jackson was the first live action Disney series to be built around a Black male protagonist.
Y’all are NOT about to sit here and disrespect Lee Thompson Young like that…
Yall fake as fuck! Keep your THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE to yourselves come November!
And to the veterans…fuck everybody that’s talking shit! Especially the ones who can barely do a sit up or a push up! Hope you all are enjoying your benefits 🙏🏾🫶🏾 Love y’all!
Man I was emotional here, because my heart was full listening to everyone’s powerful speeches, then “My Way” was played as I walked on stage.
I was also deeply inspired, because I’m a proud, self respecting Black Samoan man who was surrounded by excellence on this night.
THANK YOU to the @ABFF for this inspiring award, and more importantly, thank you for illuminating our cultures, artists and their beautiful souls.
When you come up like I did, it creates a fire in your spine, callouses on your hands and forces you to chase greatness and work to achieve excellence. To be that example for my kids and the the next generation who will stand on my/ OUR shoulders.
Work hard, take care of your family, protect your aura + energy, lift everyone up around you, run towards the things you LOVE, and a core motivating philosophy I keep very close…
just because something’s never been done before, doesn’t mean it can’t be done ~ it just means we haven’t figured out a way to do it.
Cheers to always finding a way.

The difference between race, ethnicity, and culture really confuses folks. Black American is also a cultural group. I promise, white people who are bent out of shape in the replies, that if y’all said “I love being Italian American” or “Scottish” or whatever, no one would care.
Lebron James on the Wizards:
“I love the young kid from France [Alex Sarr]. Love the kid [Kyshawn] George as well & the rookie from Texas, Tre Johnson… I think for the first time in a few years, we can say that Washington has some pieces”

Paul Pierce says after the trades the Wizards made they have a identity
“The thing I always try to say is what is you’re identity. What is Washington identity been a team where you can just go there hang out all night, play them and beat them and go on to the next city. Doormats, at least now they have identity when I look at the roster I see Trae Young, Anthony Davis, Sarr and them young pieces they can challenge for the playoffs now. Now they giving you a reason to watch Washington now”
