That ‘Parental Advisory’ sticker on CDs probably held a lot of albums back from selling more than they did. When we were kids most of us illegally downloaded artists like Pretty Ricky, Lil’ Kim, Trina bc our parents weren’t buying it for us & we did NOT want the clean version lbs
no jokes when I say, DO NOT MOVE TO NYC‼️
there are nyers here (including myself) who have been waiting for this moment, and we really don’t need people moving from out of state to snatch up housing opportunities from us.
Even if you don’t live in NYC, please retweet this and get the word out so that the ppl in YOUR city also learn that they too can have politicians who get things done if they mobilize and vote socialist in other elections! 🗣️

Stop calling yourself a BAP if you aren’t of Black American lineages. It isn’t an “all Black people” thing it literally means BLACK AMERICAN PRINCESS. Yall never come up with yall own stuff yall just try to claim ours. And NO, being born in America doesn’t make you one a BAP.

The Cheetah Girls fiasco is the perfect illustration of Hollywood pushing out young black girls in media because how does a book that is about 4 black girls become a show with only one ????
so when they turn nonblack characters black everyone has something to say but when we want black people to stay black all of a sudden WE ARE THE WORLD? when theres not one show or movie with a fully black lead actress let alone 2 black characters
