Ya'll be hyping the wrong people and then say "Music is declining", "This genre is declining." When really a lot of this shit was never meant to be mainstream money.
"you can't be pro black and have a non black partner" crowd when you ask them to talk about black femicide, genocide in countries with large black populations, ableism against black disabled people, or violence against queer black people

@Jazthelight The difference between you and them is that they’ll fight for rights and equality. You’ll fight a fifth of henny and some black & milds.
Remember when Ronaldo was given special exemption to live in with his girlfriend despite strict Saudi laws? There was no lecture about Islam or haram from the law abiding extremists. You are not right or wrong. You are either poor & powerless or rich & influential.
We should not have to prove that every precolonial African society accepted queer people to challenge homophobia today. Equal rights do not depend on finding a perfect ancestor who agrees with us.
He missed the school bus. So Brennan Walker, fourteen, walked the route from memory and got lost, and knocked on a door to ask for directions.
A woman screamed. Her husband came down the stairs with a sh0tgun.
Rochester Hills, Michigan. The morning of 12 April 2018. His phone was dead. He had never had to walk it before.
He knocked. Through the glass he tried to explain he had missed the bus and needed to know which way the school was.
The woman inside started shouting that he was trying to break in. Her husband, Jeffrey Zeigler, a retired firefighter, came downstairs with a sh0tgun.
Brennan ran. Zeigler came out onto the porch and fired at the back of a running fourteen-year-old. The shot missed. It is on the house's own doorbell camera, which is why we are not relying on anybody's memory.
Brennan kept running until he found someone to call his mother.
Zeigler was charged and convicted of assault with intent to do great bodily harm and a firearm offence, and sentenced to four to ten years.
Brennan's mother, Lisa Wright, said afterwards that she had taught him what to do if he got lost. Go to a house. Knock on a door. Ask an adult.
Every parent teaches that. It is the single most basic instruction there is.
He did it exactly right, and a man fired a shotgun at him for it.
He was fourteen, and he was late for school.
This is why in our book we confront the painful history too many people never hear. We must never forget these injustices
