Yeah — a true legacy he left 🫣😒🙄
Clive Davis was robbing the holy fuck out of TLC. Left eye spiraling was a direct result of him stealing from them! He told the crowd "the show much go on". Minutes after whiyney Houston died! Literally minutes. He gave up on Phyllis Hyman cause she wanted to make black music
Whenever I catch myself not reading things completely, I remember anti-intellectualism is on the rise, literacy is in decline, and I don’t want to be a VICTIM!
The only reason it took so long for this is because everyone kept treating it as the "you-cannot-have-kids-disease", instead of acknowledging that the condition was wrecking havoc in the entire body, and infertility was just a symptom
🕊️🌹♥️ Due to today being Juneteenth, I wanted to make a post about Eric Mays, a councilman, a hood humanitarian, and a soul that brought (and still brings) many smiles and laughs to people's faces today. When I think of Eric Mays, I think of Black History.
To many people, Eric Mays was someone who was hilarious, unapologetic, and stood on business no matter who was in front of him. To me, as somebody who spent a lot of time researching him, I learned that there was much more to the man than the viral clips. Beneath the jokes, arguments, and headlines was someone who genuinely cared about people.
He was known for standing out in the cold and snow to help the homeless, spoke openly about his love for the Bible, and carried with him the influence of his father, who was a pastor. He never seemed afraid to speak up for Black people, challenge racism, or defend what he believed was right, even when it made him unpopular. Like all human beings, he was flawed and misunderstood at times, but his passion for his community was undeniable.
As a proud son of Flint, he represented the city with heart, conviction, and authenticity. His impact reached far beyond city council meetings and internet memes. In his own way, he became a hero to many.
Forever missed. I pray he ascended peacefully and found rest. 🕊️🌹♥️
The Mississippi cop killed a baby because the management at Walmmart claimed A BABY was shoplifting a pack of diapers (bis mother had a receipt), and now they police have unleashed tear gas on community members protesting the execution of a baby.
This is America.
About 15% of NYC public school children are homeless. Outside of SYEP, it's not like you can walk into places and ask for a job as a kid these days. Street money isn't what it used to be, and the internet made a lot of hustles harder. I really feel bad for them, tbh.
